Examine and compare the ways in which Pat Barker in Regeneration and Wilfred Owen in his poetry explore the nature of life in the trenches. Pat Barker and Wilfred Owen are both successful writers in delivering an insight into trench life from the perspective of a soldier, although in different ways. Owen, being a soldier himself, has had first hand experience of trench life and describes the pity of war, in that war is a waste of young, innocent lives, and the bitterness of the soldiers

amazing, one-in-a-lifetime deal. Pat later says that “the Cardinals drafted me in the seventh round. They believed in me. I love the coaches here. I can’t bring myself to take an offer from the Rams” (Krakauer 130).

The University did not seem to react in the moment, but rather they gave Knight a second, and some would argue a third and fourth, chance. Bob Knight’s son, Pat Knight has encouraged his father to move on and let this part of his past go (Keefer, 2013). Sometimes there is no win-win, and we have to be willing to forgive and to move forward. Psalms 130:3 “If you, Lord kept a record of sins, Lord, who could
