In short stories‚ the setting is often the vital element that clarifies the author’s purpose. Owen Marshall’s writing is no exception. Marshall says he has “always been interested in people who don’t conform” and many of his stories develop this idea. “Requiem in a Townhouse” and “Mr Van Gogh” are both good examples of his stories in which the setting

‘For the Fallen’ and ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ are two very different poems indirectly expressing Wilfred Owen and Laurence Binyon’s views on war. The contrast of the poems is mainly down to when they were written as Binyon wrote his poem at the very beginning of the war‚ meaning the poem has a very propagandist and optimistic outlook on the war. He also wrote it before he visited the front in 1916. However Owen wrote his poem near to the end of the war‚ in hospital‚ after fighting on the western front

Owen uses gruesome imagery to vividly show in verse the horrible death the soldier faces‚ in

CP 28 April 2014 What is war?? War can be good to serve and also bad. When I mean good‚ I mean you or soldiers serving for their countries and then there can be bad war. Now here is an example of good war. In his poem “Dulce el Decorum Est.” Wilfred Owen shows obscene‚ bitter‚ and how sick war can be. Its four stanzas are filled with a strong statement that grabs the readers’ attention. “He plunges at me uttering‚ choking‚ and drowning” (Ferguson) the poet states. This assertion reflects Wilfred’s

Both "Mental Cases" and "Disabled" are anti-war poems evoking vivid and sometimes shocking emotions. Owen shows a less pleasant side to "The Great War" in his typical fashion. "Disabled" paints a vivid picture of a young man’s misfortune and shows the contrast between his old life - full of hope - and his new life‚ in which he has no hope. "Mental Cases"‚ on the other hand‚ outlines the mental effects of the war‚ with strikingly vivid images. ~ "Disabled" begins with a description of a man in a
