Rupert Brooke ‘s verse form “ The Soldier ” is an illustration of a pro-war and patriotically written verse form, typical at the start of World War One ; Rupert Brook did non even see combat in World war one as he died on his to Gallipoli. The verse form was written to lure people to travel to war for England and to decease for your state ; as that was the attitude towards war at the clip. The verse form incites nationalism by bodying England ; for illustration he refers to England as “ her ” in “ her sights and sounds, dreams every bit happy as twenty-four hours ” . In lines 1-3 of the verse form province that if the nameless character in the verse form were to decease at war, think of it as that portion is everlastingly England as he belongs to England and as he died, that land is everlastingly England ; lines three to four province that the land that he has died on is now better as it has a portion of England in it this is another illustration of nationalism. The following lines “ and believe, this bosom, all evil shed off, A pulsation in the ageless head, no less ” says that all of the immorality in his bosom should be washed off because he died for his state, proposing as he has died for his state, his evil workss are gone. The concluding lines in the verse forms say that he will be at peace in an English Eden with laughter, gradualness and with friends. The chief thoughts of this verse form is to hush the ferociousness of war and horrors of war and to seek to do the significance of decease more rich, to decease for 1s state ; nationalism.

In contrast, the following two verse forms, both written by Wilfred Owen, “ Dulce Et Decorum Est ” and “ Anthem For Doomed Youth ” , detail the horrors of war later in the war the horrors of the trenches were known. Wilfred Owen was a captain in the British ground forces and saw the war firsthand. He wrote poems about his deathly experiences and sentiments on universe war one. This is in contrast to Rupert Brooke who did non see combat. Wilfred Owen wished to dissociate war with honor and nationalism that it was given by the media at the clip. In “ Dulce Et Decorum Est ” , when the reader foremost reads the rubric of the verse form, nationalism is expected, as “ Dulce Et Decorum Est ” is portion of the sentence “ Dulce et decorousness est pro patria mori ” which translated means “ It is sweet and suiting to decease for one ‘s state. “ , nevertheless one time read the verse form has an wholly different feeling ; the verse form describes the soldiers as being set over like mendicants and coughing like beldams, and puts them slog through trenches which are filled with clay. In the verse form, Wilfred Owen inside informations what happens to a hapless soldier who dies excruciatingly from a gas onslaught. He uses techniques such as the simile in “ and watch the white eyes wrestling in his face, his hanging face, Like a devils sick of wickedness ” , the gas is besides described as “ brumous window glasss and thick green visible radiation, as if under a deep sea I saw him submerging ” . He so further explains the consequence of the gas by comparing it to malignant neoplastic disease and puke, and how it causes incurable sores on guiltless people ; “ Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as malignant neoplastic disease, piercingly as the rechewed food, of vile, incurable sores on guiltless linguas ” . At the terminal of the verse form, Wilfred Owen so states “ My friend, aˆ¦ The old Lie: Dulce et decorousness est pro patria mori. ” He says this as he is turn toing the stay at place war partisans ; the verse form was addressed to Jessie Pope, who wrote “ Who ‘s for the game ” which was written to promote people to travel to war by comparing it to a game. He so states in the verse form that “ Dulce et decorousness est pro patria mori ” is a lie as war has changed as the fortunes have changed.

In Wilfred Owen ‘s verse form “ Anthem for doomed young person ” he compares spiritual ceremonials like funerals and decease in war ; specifically how immature work forces are deceasing on the battleground in atrocious conditions without proper entombment. He does this as tonss of immature work forces were deceasing in the battleground proper entombments, resting in shallow Gravess, with no-one to mark their deceases. Wilfred Owen compares the church bells of a funeral to the yak of guns, supplications to plunder fire and church choirs to howling shells. Wilfred Owen in add-on compares the deceases of the soldiers to cattle in a abattoir: “ What passing bells for these who die as cowss ” . Alliteration and onomatopoeia are besides used “ Merely the stuttering rifles ‘ rapid rattlings can sprinkle out their headlong prayers ( supplications ) ” , the words bumbling and rattle and spiel are used as they have a similar staccato to that of rifles firing.

In Wilfred Owen ‘s verse form, he evidently conveys sorrow and hurting in his verse form with descriptive imagination. In Dulce et Decorum Est he inside informations the horrors of a gas onslaught and how the sentence “ Dulce et decorousness est pro patria mori ” is non relevant any longer as the most honorable work forces do non last any longer and they can be killed from far off with no honor. And his other verse form, Anthem for Doomed Youth he states that the soldiers are deceasing like cowss and the lone solace they get is from their companions as they die, whilst hearing the bawling of shells. This is contrasted with Rupert Brooke ‘s verse form “ The Soldier ” in which Rupert brooke emphasises how it is good to decease for your state and honorable.
