Analysis Of Disabled And Out, Out

An unsettling tone is furthered by Owen with his use of sensory imagery that is able to capture the dehumanisation of soldiers during the war. This manifests in Owen’s poem “Insensibility”, where Owen gives insight into the shocking way the soldiers are treated. Clearly depicted in the first stanza, “Men, gaps for filling”. The metonymy of the soldiers as gaps in the front line demean the men as they have become expendable. This horrific truth that the soldiers have been dehumanised to the point of being pawns gives the reader an unsettling sense. The next sentence of the poem further demonstrates this idea, “Losses, who might have fought longer; but no one bothers”. The collective pronoun neglects the soldiers as real humans by remembering them only as “losses”, this dehumanisation of the soldiers after they die further pushes this unsettling tone. Moreover, the fact that these “losses” may have been prolonged, but “no one bothers”, is extremely unsettling. Owen uses direct language to portray the indifference towards the soldier’s deaths. Their deaths are insignificant as they are expendable and because of this the soldiers have been dehumanised. Therefore, Owen further develops this unsettling feeling in the reader by displaying the dehumanisation of the soldiers.

In the poem “Hitcher”, Armitage examines the disappointments of the speaker who is about to lose his job and who is under pressure conforming to society’s expectations, and his frustration with life. Armitage portrays the theme of isolation using some lexical choices which carry negative connotations such as “tired”, “fired”, “under the weather”, emphasizing the amount of pain he suffers from being threatened with losing his job and not having any purposes in life. Armitage adopts a defeated and frustrated tone to illustrate the frustration, isolation and anger which contribute to the speaker’s internal sufferings. The defeated, frustrated tone of the speaker in the poem is presented through a series of lexical choices which carry connotations of negative emotions. These words form a semantic field of frustrated emotions and the reason why the writer has done this is to try to suggest that the speaker is very disturbed and threatened. “I’d been tired” evokes sympathy from the readers. It is colloquial which underlines realism with a lack of imagery in the poem. “Under the weather” can be inferred as the speaker not feeling well. It doesn’t only mean that he doesn’t feel well in a physical way, it also implies that he mood is not very good, echoes with “I’d been tired” and “fired”. These aren’t convincing, though “weather” has an

Wilfred Owen wrote his poem “Exposure” after he experienced one of the coldest winters ever in the First World War. In “Exposure” we read about the suffering of being exposed to the elements on a daily basis without stop. Owen spent years as a platoon leader on the Western Front and experienced the despair and the inevitability of death, even though “nothing happens”. The key ideas of shared endurance, suffering and loss of faith are prevalent throughout the poem and give a sense of the suffering he and his platoon had to go through.

In ‘Disabled’, Wilfred Owen a war veteran tells the story of a young soldier who returns from war and realizes how dissimilar his old life is to his new one where he is disabled both mentally and physically despite the fact that his mind may seem unaffected by past traumas the reader will begin to understand the subtle hurts that have slowly damaged him. In contrast, the story of ‘Out, out-‘ is of a boy completing his everyday chores, sawing wood, in the backdrop of the Vermont mountains. He accidentally cuts his hand off and he succumbs to death despite a doctor’s aid.

The theme of loss is portrayed similarly in the two poems ‘Disabled’ and ‘Out, out-’. Both of these poems are about the protagonist dealing with physical loss as they both experience an accident. Both Wilfred Owen and Robert Frost manage to mesmerize their audience’s attention, and also sympathize for the protagonists’ misfortune. They do this by the use of many literary techniques which are obvious at times, but some are very subtle, such as similes, metaphors, personification, and contrasts.

The characters’ lost opportunities are shown in both poems, which makes their situation more of an injustice. It is discussed more in Disabled with flashes to past and present, generally alternating in a regular pattern. By juxtaposing the past and the present, he emphasises both of them. This makes the past seem more perfect and the present seem even worse, thus making the reader sympathise with the character more. For example, in the third stanza he says that there was an artist silly for his face and then, in the same stanza, he says that he has now lost his colour. This contrasts how handsome he was to now when he no longer fits the ideals of beauty, as both of the phrases are in the same syndetic field they are compared to each other. Colour is a metaphor for life/youth, as it makes the reader imagine rosy-cheeked children. This shows that he has lost his youth much like everything else was taken away from him by the war. This blood imagery links to death in both not only showing physical loss but loss of life (or life as he knew it in Disabled) much like everything else was taken away from him by the war. This is similar to how in Out, Out-; Frost describes the boy trying to keep his life from spilling. He uses life as a metaphor for the blood.

There is an assortment of different government laws and policies that protect mentally disabled students and workers guaranteeing their success. For students with disabilities in particular, the Individuals with Disability Act (IDEA) protects their rights, allowing them to have equal access to education in a way that is adapted to their specific needs. For example, a child with schizophrenia may suffer from disorganized thinking, difficulty communicating with and relating to adults and peers, as well as anxiety and fearfulness of school or their misinterpretation of what is real and what is not. IDEA enables students like those with early-onset schizophrenia to thrive in their educational endeavors by ensuring they will be provided accommodations.

The written word has inspired for centuries. There is simply something about novels, poetry and prose that can have an undeniable power over the readers mind and emotions. Writing can draw connections and even place the reader inside their story, as if it were the reader’s own. However, the author that holds the pen can be even more powerful than their work. In the novel, Old School by Tobias Wolff, Wolff captures the essence of the power of writing and the writer.

In contrast to the Romantic world view, the Modernist cares rather little for Nature, Being, or the overarching structures of history. Instead of progress and growth, the Modernist poets see decay and a growing alienation of the individual, which are characteristics portrayed in “Disabled.” “He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark” evokes the isolation of the
