    of soldiers in World War 1. One of this group is unable to get on his helmet‚ and suffers horribly. Through his shifting rhythms‚ dramatic description‚ and rich‚ raw images‚ Owen seeks to convince us that the horror of war far outweighs the patriotic cliches of those who glamorize war. In the first of four stanzas‚ Owen presents the death-like calm before the storm of the gas attack. Alliteration and onomatopoeia join with powerful figurative and literal images of war to produce a pitiful

    consider the role that kids have played in the horror genre. Other groups have fairly consistent‚ even ritualized roles in films. Men as antagonists are usually the threat of aggressive male sexuality‚ wielding phallic weaponry and chasing down hapless female victims. Women are either the sexualized teenaged victim‚ the virginal survivor‚ or in some classic horror‚ the threat of female social and sexual empowerment to male hegemony. But children in horror movies have not had such a stable role. There

This was achieved through Owen’s extensive use of visual and aural imagery‚ which is evident in his poem’s Strange Meeting‚ The Next War‚ and Insensibility which all expose
