Why are “Life at War” and “Overheard Over S.E. Asia” considered to be protest poems?

English
1 answer:
Ede4ka [16]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Option D. They shock people by providing a terrifying view of war rather than a heroic one.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Both the poems are written by the same person, Denise Levertov, a British poet. She seems to be too concerned about the ravages of war, the destruction and distress it results in.  

Both the poems are about the tragedy of war that struck Vietnam. She seems to be much perturbed at the scene witnessed in Vietnam.  While the second poem talks about white phosphorus seeking the bones, the first talks about the burning Vietnamese flesh.

Thus, both the poems portray the horrors of war.

Are modern critics overcompensating by finding too much value in works by members of marginalized communities?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Certainly not. Though there are a large number of modern critics who are lavishing praise upon praise for works by marginalised authors, that praise is well-justified. Consider that these authors not only had to write a book about their lives, they also had to have the courage to speak up about the prejudice and injustice they faced. Any book by a marginalised author is well-worth the praise for just existing.
