nineteen through twenty-four: “And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Watt, 4 Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, — “ This is a tragedy that no “normal person” could fathom or stomach; there were many instances during World War I that no amount of medical knowledge or expertise could solve. Imagine being a soldier walking

Jews even have a name for the food that they consider forbidden; treif which means torn.The Jewish dietary laws follow a very strict and specific set of rules.

Cud is the portion of food that is sent from the stomach back up to the mouth to be eaten for a second time. Those who follow this law eliminate pork and hare from their diet.

Wilfred Owen uses graphic imagery in his poem “Dulce et decorum est” to portray the horror of war and send a message to the people who glorified war when they had not been to war. The poem describes war in a way that had not been used prior to World War I, and reveals the reality of war. Using figurative language to paint a realistic image of war in the reader's mind, as well as using the word we to establish the speaker as a soldier, Owen is able to send the message that war is not glorious, it

Owen continues writing, “Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, / As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. / In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, / He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning” (13-16). These lines from Owen’s poem emphasized the dreadful atrocity of WWI: Chemical Warfare.

Thomas Paine once said, “He who is the author of war lets loose a contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.” World War one has affected each and every one of us. Death did not only affect the afflicted with it, but also the ones surrounded by it. This is clearly shown in the poem Dulce ET Decorum EST written by Wilfred Owen. The author has portrayed this idea through the clever use of several language techniques with the main ones being metaphors, similes and onomatopoeia

Brooke uses a similes (e.g.: Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day) meanwhile in "Dulce et Decorum Est" Owen uses imageries imagery (e.g.: If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood of froth-corrupted lung obscene as cancer bitter as the cud.) and similes (e.g.:Bent double like old beggars under sacks.) Both of the authors had their own experience in battlefields and they use these to show how they and other soldiers feel about going to war. Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen have opposite

Israelite elites]. After several years, a king and prophet and Lord of all was born. His name was Jesus of Nazareth. During the time of Jesus, Josephus claimed “there were five sects of Jews at the time of Jesus: Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Zealots and Sicarii” (How Jews lived in Jesus time). These groups had their own way of interpreting the scriptures to fit their lives in present and in future.

I recently made the rank of Technical Sergeant in the United States Air Force. A feat that seemed impossible, but I made it, not only did I make it, I made it on my first try!
