grotesque imagery and the violent theme shows a viewpoint that isn't censored, unlike media often portrays. Juxtaposition is used, contrasting positive words with gruesome and animal comparisons, using descriptions “all went lame” and “bitter as the cud” to strengthen this connection.

They were hunted for fur, with the rest of the animal left behind to decay in the ground. After they rotted their bones were found packaged and shipped East.

While horses and cows have many similarities when it comes to appearances, they have many

Overall, soldiers suffered from these chemical encounters. After the soldier suffers from a gas attack, his “white eyes” were “writhing in his face, his hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin” (19-20). This is a description of a soldier having his face melted off from the gas attack. The gas attack basically transformed his body into “a devil’s sick of sin” (20).
