’The Soldier’ by Rupert Brooke is an Italian sonnet that plays with the idea of war being romantic. The whole poem is a metaphor for what he believed the war meant to him.

Child soldiers are perhaps perpetrators in a way the story tells it‚ but are they? I believe that child soldiers are victims because Commanders made them‚ forcefully‚ go to war at the age around 9-12. Additionally‚ they were drugged and weren’t thinking straight‚ and thought they would feel more secure and safe with other armed forces.
