English literature, can be an incredibly challenging task. It requires extensive research, critical
analysis, and the ability to articulate your thoughts coherently while navigating through sensitive
subject matter.

When delving into war poetry, one must not only understand the historical context and literary
techniques employed but also empathize with the human experiences and emotions depicted within
the poems. This requires a considerable amount of time and effort, often involving reading numerous
poems, researching background information on the poets, and analyzing the societal impacts of war.

Moreover, crafting a coursework that meets academic standards in terms of structure, argumentation,

cannons start firing from all around again and the pace increases. The poem is describing the nature
of the bird and it’s life forever using similes just as Keats done. This shows how you can be a victim
of war and it’s repercussion, thousands of miles form the fighting. These appeal to the reader and
make the mood of the poem more extreme. This is especially evident in the four lines starting “
Cannon to the right of them” which has a beating, galloping rhythm imitating the galloping motions
of the British soldiers on their horses charging toward the Russian guns. The first impression evoked
out of the title (heroes) is clearly eradicated after having read the poem and the second poem does
nothing but to reinforce the first poems view. In Disabled in the 2 nd stanza half way through there is
a strong contrast this shows the reader the feelings of the person because its such a big change of

You feel sorry for Keats as he describes his innermost painful experiences in the skin of a bird and
nature. Instead of thanking god for the war, his title is “God, How I hate you”. However it is not the

injured soldiers. Comparing this to how Jessie Pope thought about the war is a vast difference. The
aim of the lesson is to get the students thinking about the human cost of war, in preparation for
looking at specific texts in later lessons. Tennyson uses alliteration to emphasize the impact the

that “no cross or medal was put to his chest or to his name or to his family”. The poem is a symbol

that I have provided that the poem is for the statement, that people do terrible things in war, as it is
clear that the gassing of the Jews by the Germans is a terrible thing. “Among the dead, families were
to be seen holding each other by hand, hands tightly clasped together”; a quote from the poem that

definitely for the war. It sets the scene of two mothers crying as the returning soldiers pass by,
however one cries for her dead son, while the other weeps “of shame not grief” for she has three
sons “but not one doth risk his life for England’s sake!” This poem would be written to try and make
the reader feel guilty for making their mother feel so ashamed of her son and hence join the army and
go to war. The twist of fate posed in the story is that from the simple message, the wife believes that
her husband is already dead, although he is very much alive, unable to escape from the hospital.

are both talking about injuries you can get from the war and using this to convince people not to join
up. These poems such as The Volunteer describes how many people thought of war, as a glorious
thing with every man a hero and the battle won with “horsemen, charging under the phantom skies.”
This line shows how the upper classes, who were most probably the audience meant for The
volunteer thought the war would end, in a glorious cavalry charge. There is also use of onomatopoeic
words, 'the stuttering rifles' adding the sound of battle into the part of the war we are shown in this
poem. He uses similes “like old beggars under sacks”, metaphors “Men marched asleep”, consonance
“guttering, choking, drowning”, alliteration “watch the white eyes writhe” and repetition. So he

Philosophers, historians, novels and poems all portray the negativity of war; however the question to
ask is whether or not anything good can come out of war. It also makes the men seem if they join up
that they are fearless. It also suggests that the parents would need to think of their son as a hero
otherwise they could no have got over his death. Our customer service team will review your report

Alexdavis1977's Shop 4.38 6 reviews Not the right resource. Another Poem called Retribution; by
the poet Ilya Ehrenburg describes a dead girl beside a bridge and how the soldiers see this as a
symbol for what they are fighting the war against. It gives a balanced view of patriotic poems that
glorify war (Brooke and Pope) with more realistic poems from the front line (Sassoon and Owen).
The second verse is about the death and respect for soldiers. It is here that Tennyson perfectly
captures the glamour of war without the horror of bloodshed. Reviews Select overall rating (no

of poems to see to what extent they agree to the following statement; “War does terrible things to

written using a lot of colloquial language to relate to the working class young men it was aimed at.
Sassoon’s attitude is totally against the war and people who believe that it is a good thing. The bird is
happiness and with that there is associated summer and song.
Tennyson looks at the soldiers from the way they fought but Binyon looks at the soldiers as people
who gave the biggest sacrifice. The poem is describing the nature of the bird and it’s life forever
using similes just as Keats done. Stanza three shows the courage and pride of the soldiers. However
Tennyson chooses to show the glamour, honour, the obvious stupidity of war along with showing us
how one mans blunder can cause so much suffering and also the inevitable chaos and bloodshed of
war. The poem describes a temporary ceasefire on a Christmas day in the First World War and thus
just shows that war does not always do terrible things to people and people don’t always do terrible
things in war. In verses 1-5 Whitman uses vivid descriptive phrases, adjectives and verbs to describe
the richness and fertility of the Ohio countryside around the family farm. The poem takes away the
so called ideal image of a hero and replaces it with “a poor little chap with chubby cheeks and knees
grinding each other”. The tone is very positive toward men joining up for the war. This poem shows
how war may lead to friendship, peace, brotherhood and overall goes to show a positive aspect to
war where people aren’t doing terrible things such as killing. In Disabled in the 2 nd stanza half way

down the pace. As the dulled, damp description of the woman suggests her thoughts are with her
husband- thousands of miles away. He essentially is saying, if you had seen what I and my fellow
soldiers had seen you would not so readily preach for Britain’s young men to go to war. There are
many poets from this time who use these ideas a lot in their poetry, I will be looking at five of them
in detail, Jessie Pope, Rupert Brooke, Arthur Graeme-West, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.
The second verse is about the death and respect for soldiers. Two of the most famous of these poets
are Wilfred Owen and Siegfreid Sassoon. He shows the stupidity by repeating “Valley of death”,
because the soldiers are riding to death and Tennyson is commenting on the lack of questioning to an
irrational command. Owen was very well educated and this can be seen in his poems. The audience
meant for his poems were the upper classes and other well learned people such as himself. Anything
would have been better then lying, bleeding to death on a war hospital bed, including death. Through
out the poem Owen challenges that statement. All four of these poems use similar and different
techniques in persuasive and emotive language. In the rest of poem he describes the war in a way to
make the reader believer the war is not a good thing, and we should not thank God for it. This

ones who are going to be defeated. The poets name is Boris Slutsky and the aspect of the war, which
is covered by this poem, is the affect of the war on civilians. He is feeling bravery and stupidity for
the Light Brigade. Thus one can conclude that the booklet demonstrates to high extent to agree with
the statement, as the majority of the poems cover aspects of the war that are clearly horrific and there
is hardly any mention of anything good to come out of the war in the poems. The differences are
“For the Fallen” was written in the past tense and “Charge of the Light Brigade” is written in the
present. To show respect towards the soldiers, Binyon has even used death to show respect. They
both persuade someone to fight and that it is the best thing, and that England with think them of a
hero by fighting in the war. By using this technique he tells the reader that he has a positive attitude
towards the war. This charge is the best-known example of the heroism and stupidity of war.
Similarly another poem by Ruthveen Todd called These are the facts shows how soldiers aren’t

It is here that Tennyson perfectly captures the glamour of war without the horror of bloodshed. Walt
Whitman was a war enthusiast when the American civil war broke out in 1861, his first war poems
reflect the general excitement about the conflict in the North American cities. The caesura used in the
fifth and sixth stanza, helps slow down the pace. Like Holocaust this is yet another example of a
poem, with a central theme of the terrible things people do in war and thus another argument for the
statement. War poetry is among the most striking, touching and moving of all poetry. Also the idea
that death may be painful but a soldiers death will be courageous and lead straight to heaven like a
saint, '.the worst friend and enemy is but Death.' There is also a great feeling that a soldier's life has
been building up to death and death would be the climax of his life and that dieing for your country
would make. The poet also uses a succession of ghastly adjectives when describing the conditions in
the trenches as 'muddy brown monotony'. This unit of work as originally designed with upper ability
