Poets frequently utilize vivid images to further depict the overall meaning of their works. The imagery in “& the War Was in Its Infancy Then,” by Maurice Emerson Decaul, conveys mental images in the reader’s mind that shows the physical damage of war with the addition of the emotional effect it has on a person. The reader can conclude the speaker is a soldier because the poem is written from a soldier’s point of view, someone who had to have been a first hand witness. The poem is about a man who

Often, poetry is used to portray the highlights of this life or maybe even some of the small bumps we encounter along the way, yet, none really compares to that of war poetry. World War I, much like any other war, was nothing shy of a horror story. Innumerable deaths, traumatizing situations, and the lives of returning soldiers changed forever were, and still are, products of war. From our side, we have our own idea of what war might be like, but Wilfred Owen and Isaac Rosenburg choose to give us

The poem 'Disabled' by poet Wilfred Owen influences the readers opinion of the soldier's decision to enlist for war. The use of Juxtaposition and Emotive Language makes us realise just now naïve and foolish the soldier was to think that serving his country in something so pointless, was an extreme act of bravery and heroism. Through Juxtaposition, we learn that blood smears sustained in a friendly game of football, are nothing compared to what the soldier had mustered, and forfeited during his time

Also it seems like that the soldier have either lost or is not in touch

Paragraph 1: Weir draws on vivid and detailed descriptions of Archie’s and Frank's experiences in battle to show the futility of war and how pointless it is. Specifically, he uses a range of camera shots and background music to portray war as dark and full of misery.
