    Literary Analysis Prewriting My thesis is that I believe the war inspired many of Wilfred Owen’s poems. He was very dedicated to his country. In fact he even enlisted himself in the military voluntarily. The war had many influences on Wilfred and his poems. For example‚ a quote from Dulce Et Decorum Est “If you could hear‚ at every jolt‚ the blood come gargling from the forth-corrupted lungs obscene as cancer‚ bitter as the cod of vile‚ incurable sores on innocent tongues”‚ this poem he was talking

    War Poetry I have studied two poems‚ ’Dulce et decorum est’ and ’The Sentry’ both by the poet Wilfred Owen. The first one I will study is ’Dulce et Decorum est’. The first thing Owen does is to give us a vivid description of what is happening‚ he tells us that he and his men are marching away from the trenches‚ and the way Owen describes his men gives us a clear picture of what they have been through. "Bent double‚ like old beggars under sacks‚ knock-kneed‚ coughing like hags" They had been
