Which words from the poem “Holy War” best expresses the author’s attitude toward war?
Galina-37 [17]
"The Holy War" written by Hugh Hodge is full of many references to war and includes hints as to the author's feelings about the situation. For example, the last line is very telling as to Hodge's opinion. "Here is the God who wept" implies that the creator of the world is weeping at its current state. This God is looking down at the world that is going to war over faith, which God never intended them to do. Hope this helps.

Is there a serious deeper message in Forster's essay, a point Forster tries to make? If so, what is it? Does he do this in an ef
vfiekz [6]

There is a deeper message in Forster's essay.

Forster, in his essay titled "The woods" reveals the effects of properties on their owners. He explains how properties require a lot from their owners, they serve as burdens to their owners and yet the owners keep wanting more.

Yes, he effectively expresses his opinions in clear terms that can be well understood by the readers.

I get curious and find it exciting to own properties, but as soon as I own them, they tend to take much of my attention than necessary just as Forster claimed. The importance of owing things despite this supposed shortcoming  cannot be overemphasized.
