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

“Sweet Heat” I think back and visualize the days of Bonnie and Clyde in the early 1930’s and reminisce about the first V8 powered vehicles driven during that era. That vision is what comes to mind when taking a drive with my father in his Ford street rod‚ “Sweet Heat”. “Sweet Heat” is a 1931 original steel Ford Sport Coupe that has been converted to a street rod powered by a ZZ4 350 cubic inch /400 Horsepower General Motors crate engine.

‘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

A Concise Commentary on Anthem for Doomed Youth "Anthem for Doomed Youth" is an elegy in which Wilfred Owen conveys his heart felt sadness and disgust for the loss of life in World War I. This poem shatters the fantasized images of war by juxtaposing the opposite worlds of reality and the romanticized rhetoric that distorts it. He writes about the true experience of military death‚ and effectively expresses these powerful sentiments in only fourteen lines by use of a somewhat violent imagery that

Wilfred Owen’s protest poem Strange Meeting contrasts harshly with Mary Henderson’s An Incident. While Owen argues the futility of war‚ "a nation’s trek from progress"‚ Henderson likens the soldier’s death on the battlefield to the crucifixion of Christ‚ advocating it as a honourable‚ almost divine sacrifice for the motherland. Henderson recounts an incident where she tends to a wounded soldier‚ displaying a motherly characteristic consistent with other female war poets. The soldier is identified
