Wilfred owen Wilfred Edward Salter Owen MC (18 March 1893 – 4 November 1918) was an English poet and soldier‚ one of the leading poets of the First World War.

On 21 October 1915‚ he enlisted in the Artists’ Rifles Officers’ Training Corps. For the next seven months‚

Owen is more famous for his angry and emotional poems such as Dulce‚ though his quieter poems can pack just a strong a punch.

Motivation theory "Crompton (1979) notes it is possible to describe the who‚ when‚ where‚ and how of tourism‚ together with the social and economic characteristics of tourist‚ but not to answer the question "why‚" the most interesting question of all tourist behaviour." (Fodness 1994‚ p. 556) While motivation is only one of many variables in explaining tourist behaviour‚ it is nonetheless a very critical one‚ as it constitutes the driving force behind all behaviour (Fodness 1994).

Representation of Wilfred Owen in ‘Regeneration’ by Pat Barker In ‘Regeneration‚’ Wilfred Owen does not feature very often‚ and when he does feature‚ he is always alongside Siegfried Sassoon. Hence‚ I feel Owen’s purpose in the novel is more to advance and develop Sassoon’s character than it is his own. However‚ through his meeting and interactions with Sassoon‚ Owen actually develops himself too‚ in terms of his confidence and his poetry. When Owen first features in the novel‚ he is described

people are interested in motivation; they try to find out the reason why someone behaves in a particular way. What is motivation? There are a number of definitions of motivation: Baron (1991) stated “motivation is the internal process that activate‚ guide and maintain behaviour (especially goal-directed behaviour).” This definition assumes all behaviour is a consequence of motivation which ignored how and why it is instigated. So‚ Kanfer (1998) declared that “motivation is only about the ‘free will’

Owen reflects on the price paid by soldiers during wartime as he shows how the war takes away the soldiers lives. Owen describes the soldiers as being “Bent double like old beggars” this shows the price paid by soldiers as war has aged them. Owen then goes on to describe the soldiers as hags and wearing sacks. Instead of wearing smart uniforms they are now dressed like beggars in sacks. This again shows the price paid. In both Exposure and Dulce et Decorum Est‚ Owen uses strong verbs. In Dulce

term war. Wilfred Owen is not one of those people. Wilfred Owen served till his death in the trenches during World War I for his home country of England. Wilfred Owen is one of very few war poets whose poetry reflects events they have experienced. This experience offers insight and opinion that can not be matched by other poets. It is this experience and his willing participation in war that makes his anti-war poetry especially interesting. It is clear to see why Wilfred Owen developed his stern
