    Compare the ways Jessie Pope and Wilfred Owen convey the reality of war in their poetry The stories of the two poems are very contrasting‚ they oppose one another quite obviously. One about the horrors of war‚ one about how much ’fun’ it is. Both poems serve a purpose and perform to it very well‚ using all kinds of techniques to encourage or discourage young men to join the army. The storyline of ’Who’s for the game’ is telling of how great the war is and how you

    life‚ with the soldiers described as being ’like old beggars’. The Latin used at the end of the poem means ’It is sweet and honourable to die for your country’‚ a concept Owen is strongly denying. * War transforms soldiers‚ breaking them physically and mentally: ’Bent double’ ’Knock-kneed’. Rather than glorious men‚ Owen presents the soldiers as weakened old ’hags’. * The experience of war is something no soldier can escape: ’In all my dreams‚ before my helpless sight‚ / He plunges at me’

    Wilfred Laurier‚ at the beginning of the twentieth century‚ predicted that “The next hundred years would belong to Canada.” I believe Wilfred was correct; the twentieth century did indeed belong to Canada. The Canadians and the Canadian/British allied forces had many victories‚ Canadian born people who grew up to change the world and many other events prove that Canada owned the twentieth century. Many consider the victory at Vimy Ridge in 1917 a defining moment for Canada. Although it

    Although Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen both wrote war poems they differ broadly from each other. Despite the fact that both authors’ have a totally different opinion concerning war they have certain aspects in common. In Rupert Brooke’s poem The Soldier he develops a glorifying idea of patriotism. He seeks to transmit the message that it is beautiful to die for one’s country - it embellishes death - and that no matter where he is buried the soil he is buried within will absorb his English body

    poems‚ compare the ways in which he reflects on the price paid by soldiers during wartime. You should look for connections across the poems studied‚ in relation both to the situations and feelings described and the way in which Owen has used language for effect.” Wilfred Owen gave us his first hand experiences of war. He was appalled by the ‘human squander’. the waste and pity of war. In both ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ and ‘Mental cases’ he highlights the absurd glorification of war and its horrific effect

    Spring offensive; by Wilfred Owens focuses on the uselessness for war. There is a striking contrast between the first and last few stanzas‚ as in the beginning all is calm‚ slow and pleasant. From the 5th stanza onwards‚ there is a sudden change from the serene environment‚ to an outbreak of activity. The poem starts off with peace and tranquility. ’Lying easy‚ were at ease and finding comfortable chests and knees‚ Carelessly slept.’ However even this early in the passage the last two lines connote

    Futility: Poetry and Owen

    Futility ~ Wilfred Owen Move him into the sun -
Gently its touch awoke him once‚
At home‚ whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him‚ even in France‚
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now
the kind old sun will know. Think how it wakes the seeds‚ -
Woke‚ once‚ the clays of a cold star.
Are limbs‚ so dear-achieved‚ are sides‚
Full-nerved - still warm - too hard to stir?
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
- O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
to break earth’s sleep
