OUTLINE Topic : Two poems and how the two writers show different opinions about WWI. Thesis statement: The poems by Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen represent different views of the writer about World War II. The academic articles also give detailed accounts of the situation of the war. Rupert Brooke had an unshaken opinion about the war ( Brooke,1933) . Wilfred Owen’s poem depicts an unwavering opinion on World War I. The poet reveals the war as horrific, he is horrified by what he sees in the battlefields. The soldiers had reasons for participating in the war. One of the reasons in both cases was their patriotism to their countries. I support Owens opinion on World War I. The war poet uses the last stanza of his poem to point out the vagueness in the entire lethal war. According to Owen, there were many “…incurable sores on innocent tongues” (In Ward, 1997). My claim about the first World War is that it was the worst mistake such a larger number of governments made. The historical reason for the start of World War I was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife by a Serbian terrorist group. On my counterargument, the war led to a peaceful period with no much rivalry thereafter. For instance, Germany “…signed the Armistice accepting defeat” and the latter led to peaceful coexistence between the rival nations (Deacon, 2015). Conclusively, it is good to be patriotic to one’s country. However, the decisions one makes in life has consequences. Regardless of the driving force to decision-making, one should be conscious of the effects. For instance, Owen was very eager to join a war that he hated very much later. Owen died in the war according to Deacon, (2015). A. Explain how the opinions of WWI are depicted through the poetry and academic articles. B. Then form your own opinion about the war based on what you have read. Did patriotism justify a soldier’s involvement the war? C. Choose a poet to agree with and add to your claim with two supporting reasons D. Next, provide one counter-claim (the other side of the argument) E. Provide a concluding statement that calls the audience to take action F. Conclusion G. References
