fight for the war. Anti war poets told more or less the truth about war although the authors were very angry and you can see this in a lot of their poetry. The 4 poems I’m writing about are called “Dulce et Decorum est” and “Disabled” By Wilfred Owen‚ “Blighters” and “The General” By Siegfried Sassoon who both wrote anti war poetry and all four poems are very bitter about the enemies of war‚ these poets think the enemies of war are the adults who are telling men to go to war then calling them cowards

Figurative Language in Woods Runner: A Cultural Debate Yes‚ I agree that figurative language improves the understanding of the novel in Woods Runner. I reached that conclusion because the picture the words paint gives you an idea of what is happening throughout the novel. Firstly‚ an example of this is found in chapter 4 on page 27 where it says “Samuel smelled it before he saw anything. Not just the smoke from the fires. But the thick‚ heavy smell. Blood. Death.” and this adds to the way the reader

Dickinson basically marks the shift of the speaker’s tone with
