Rion charged for the path, his arms pumping his little legs flying. “All right.” Percival rubbed his hands together, trying to figure out how he might best move Gawain without causing further issue. Tossed over the shoulder, the typical way to carry a wounded man, was out of the question. He would need to carry Gwaine supine in his arms, much like a sleeping baby might be carried. Gwaine was sure to hate that. But Gwaine’s eyes had begun to drift close and his face appeared more bloodless than ever

After witnessing and suffering through the war, the speaker talks about the “old Lie” which is “Dulce et decorum est / Pro patria mori” (27-28). This Latin phrase means “It is sweet and proper to die for one’s country.” This is a lie because the suffering one has to face is unbearable. Therefore, soldiers ask themselves whether it is worth to suffer this

The Imperial War Museum exhibit on World War I was extremely detailed and really depicted how the war was. Walking through the exhibit, the people pass different sections of themes. For example, there was a section on why the war began, women in the war, on families, on camouflage and the battles, and lastly, the fallen soldiers. The fallen soldier section included different events that occurred during the war where lots of soldiers lost their lives. An example is the trench warfare, which is described

The 2 sources state very important information about the first World War. The first source is a poem called, ‘1914 - The Soldier’ by Rupert Brooke, while, the second source is another poem called ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ written by Wilfred Owen in 1917. This essay will analyse some similarities as well as some differences between the 2 sources. To begin with, sources 21 and 22 both explore the theme of nationalism as it shows willingness to fight and die for their country. Firstly, Nationalism is

The presence of death plays a huge factor in the war and impart, factors into Wilfred Owen’s poem, “Dulce et Decorum Est”, aiding him criticizing the war effort as unnecessary and unjust. Tyrus Miller analyzed the poem and found, “Death and human suffering, on a purely physical plane, are abundant throughout the poem” (Miller). Miller saw Owen included an abundance of death and suffering throughout the poem to send a shock to and force the reader to feel uncomfortable reading the poem. Throughout

Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est” (1917) is one of the most famous poems to appear from the ranks of the soldier-poets who fought during the WWI. He reacts to the war, showing that reality is contaminated and dishonored, changing conventional poetic techniques into something that appears to be rather ordinary on the outside. In the poem, Owen shows the critical versions of reality by using figurative language, imagery, and irony. First of all, the author uses simile, which is one form of figurative

John McCrae, and ee cummings. The poems names are “Dulce Et Decorum Est”, “In Flanders Fields” and “I sing of Olaf glad and big”. The purpose of this paper is how war can ruin people's lives. The first poet I will discuss is Wilfred Owen. The poem is called “Dulce Et Decorum Est”. Wilfred Owen describes war as it makes everyone bring out the worst and inflicting pain. Evidence for this is when the poet says, “The old lie: Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori”(39). The poet, therefore, is telling

Futility is a poem written regarding the recent death of a soldier, and his comrade attempting to revive him by putting him before God and pleading for him to save his friend. However, God is unable to aid the fallen soldier as he is already dead. Outraged, the comrade begins to question God and the reason why his friend was put on earth by him, only to be taken too quickly by such a trivial and violent cause, such as war. The theme of ‘pointlessness of war’ was chosen as it is prominent and unmistakable

First or all writers use imagery to protest war. In the poem “Dulce et Decorum Est”, Wilfred Owens uses imagery to protest war. Line 21 in stanza three states, “You could hear at every jolt, the blood come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud. Of vile incurable sores on innocent tongues.” This line describes the death of a soldier during war. Owens is using both visual and auditory imagery to give readers a clear picture of this horrific event. When reading
