Jonatha Brooke

During World War I, a collection of poems were written by soldiers serving in the war. The poems include If I Should Die by Rupert Brooke, In Flanders Fields by John MacRae, Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen, and On Passing the New Menin Gate by Siegfried Sassoon. The poetry differs in opinion on the war and dying for one’s country from soldier to soldier, with If I Should Die and In Flanders Fields romanticizing heroic death and glory, and Dulce Et Decorum Est and On Passing the New Menin Gate

Accordingly, the experiences of these soldiers are cast as embodying in microcosm the wider war. In capturing a corner of a foreign field, it seems that Brooke’s soldier has some kind of ability in death—even on his own as an individual—to claim land for his country, claiming land after all the overwhelming point of any war. Instead of compelling armies or battles, the death of this one soldier can symbolically advance the English cause, can emblematically transform the ownership of the land. As

When we read a text, we directly have different feelings about what we have read. “Disabled” is one of Wilfred Owen’s war poems written while he was recovering at Craiglockhart Hospital in Edinburgh in 1917. In this poem he compares the fearless life of a future soldier with the horrible unexpected effects of the soldier, who became a veteran. If an English man reads the poem, who fought in WOI and became disabled, he might re-experience the war, while a male Dutch student aged 16/17 is not able

“A soldier” describes a passerby's point of view on the subject of war, he trips on a broken lance and thinks back to the tragedy of war which cost so many lives. He means for the poem to describe how limited man’s perspective when starting war is. Going deeper to how one doesn’t think of the lives lost, just as one shooting a missile thinks very differently of where it’ll land and who it may hurt than one throwing a lance or spear will. The one throwing the spear sees what his weapon will hurt while

body of England’s, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home”(Brooke). This quote made me feel peaceful because of the nature and think of a beautiful day. The next quote “That there’s some corner of a foreign field that is forever England” (Brooke). This quote made me think how it must be to be away from your home country. The last quote “If I should die, think only this of me:” (Brooke). Made me wonder does the soldier never dies or did he live. The main claim of this poem

One never knows a situation until it has been experienced. They always see the outside view. One only hears the inside view if they’ve been in the situation or somebody that was in it tells them about it, and a lot of times that person that was in it doesn’t like to talk about it depending on if it affected them in a negative way. Stephen Crane uses irony in “War is Kind” and “A Mystery of Heroism” to prove that he opposed to war by using perspective to tell a soldier's views, and bad realities to

choices of poems that will be explored are ‘For the fallen’ by Robert Lawrence Binyon, ‘The soldier’ by Rupert Brooke and ‘MCMXIV’ by Philip Larkin. All poems have links and contrasts to the Shakespeare play which present many attitudes to war which develop throughout. Henry V and the poems, ‘For the fallen’ and ‘MCMXIV’ include a subtle cryptogram apart from ‘The soldier’. Rupert Brooke used a title that was easy to read by everyone. The title, “The soldier” clearly implies who the poem is about

DESCRIPTION During my clinical placement, I have done the nursing standard 2 which is engaging in therapeutic and professional relationships. An example of one event in my placement where I have done this standard is when doing interviews in my two-week community placement at the Community Rehabilitation in Armadale Hospital. For my reflection, I will be using the Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (1988). FEELINGS I am normally a very shy person so when we were told that we were to do interviews on the

In this short essay my own personal view on professional development will be made evident through reviewing past experiences, allowing recommendations for better practice to occur. Other topics discussed and analysed will be; the structure of the organisation, the effectiveness on leadership and management. My own role within the organisational structure will be reflected on, considering the impact of skills in practice, further, justifying what I will need for future personal and professional development
