How does Chisholm present her thoughts and feelings about world war one? How far is the extract similar to and different from your wider reading in the literature of world war one? You should consider the writers' choice of form, structure and language. Chisholm's thoughts about war, where very patriotic, she took everything as it came at her. 'I’m on'. As a woman, this is a very unusual role in the war, as many women preferred to stay at home. 'War was no place for a woman' many would say. Although

Comradeship in James Hanley's "The German Prisoner", Ernest Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms", "Not So Quiet", "All Quiet on the Western Front", and Pat Baker's "Regeneration" For many soldiers and volunteers, life on the fronts during the war means danger, and there are few if any distractions from its horrors. Each comradeship serves as a divergence from the daily atrocities and makes life tolerable. Yet, the same bonds that most World War literature romantically portrays can be equally negative

But she reflected the mood of the times. Another thing that affected pope's poetry was that she was a journalist not a soldier like some of the other war poets such as {Siegfried Sassoon}.

Whilst Owen was in the hospital, Siegfried Sassoon arrived. Owen made a good impression on Sassoon and he recognized the potential in his poetry. Encouraged by Sassoon, Owen wrote some of his finest, most angry and compassionate poems at that time. When he left Craiglockhart he furthered his poetry career when he was introduced to the London

Veterans are therefore alienated as a consequence, with civilians lacking the proper understanding needed to connect with their country’s supposed “heroes.” Further expanding upon this emotional disconnect, Siegfried Sassoon’s “Glory of Women” compares the praises from civilians with the realities lived by soldiers, in turn exemplifying the divide in perspectives: You make us shells. You listen with delight, By tales of dirt and danger fondly thrilled. You crown

The Dehumanization of War Throughout World War I, there were many different opinions about war and its effect on the soldiers. Both “They” by Siegfried Sassoon, and “Dulce Et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen talk about how war dehumanizes the soldiers. After a soldier comes out of war, whether by injury or ending of the war, he comes out a changed man, not always in the way that the women think that the soldiers should come out. Women tend to want and picture their soldiers coming out of the war as

Brooke never knew what life was like in the trenches so all of his poems have a positive attitude towards the war. I am studying a poem by Siegfried Sassoon called ‘Base Details’. Sassoon was a gallant officer who won the Military Cross as prize for bravery. He hated the massacre that war was and the misconduct of the generals and politicians who made decisions of the war, he thought they did not have the right
