Answer 1

Both authors of "In Flanders Fields" and "Dulce et Decorum Est!" chose the same historical event as the setting but these books shows the World War 1 from two absolutely different points of view. "In Flanders Fields" author praises and blesses all those warriors who protected  their native land fighted for it and its future generations. While reading this story you feel persuasive tone that aimed to make you feel the same. "Dulce et Decorum Est!" shows the most appalling  things that happened during the War and urges us that if we had ever been through It all it would have been the worst nightmare in our life. To conclude : in the first story author eulogizes War whereas the second warns against it.
