After reading and analyzing the poem "Dulce et Decorum Est," by Wilfred Owen, we can answer in the following manner:
6. a) The action of the poem changes abruptly from the first stanza to the second. In the first stanza, the speaker conveys a sense of slowness and exhaustion as the soldiers limp through the mud.
In the second stanza, as gas-shells are dropped, the soldiers begin to run, yell, and stumble. The action changes from slow and tired to clumsy, fast, and desperate.
b) The language in the poem shows the abrupt change described above. In the first stanza, the author uses words such as "bent", "limped", and "fatigue" to convey how difficult it is for soldiers to walk being hurt and how tired they are.
In the second stanza, the author uses words such as "ecstasy", "clumsy", "yelling", and "stumbling". With those, he conveys the how hectic things get once the gas-shells are dropped.
- The poem "Dulce et Decorum Est" was published in 1921, after the first World War.
- Its name alludes to the line by the poet Horace, "<u>Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori</u>," which means "it is sweet and fitting to die for one's homeland."
- The poem by Wilfred Owen shows that it is not sweet nor fitting to die in a war.
- He describes the horrific image of a soldier drowning in his own blood and he is hit by a gas-shell.
- The poet advises against asking other to go fight in a war by using Horace's words.
- Only the soldiers who actually go and fight know of the real horrors of war - none of it is sweet.

Answer:
The correct answer is: check the meaning.
Explanation:
When we see an unknown word in one text, the first thing we should do is check the meaning of the word in a dictionary. After that, we should memorize the word and try to use it in a certain context, in order to make sure we understood its meaning.
When we are predicting the meaning of the word, we can often make a mistake, because some words and their meanings can be quite unpredictable or illogical if someone doesn't know the etymology of the word or doesn't understand the scope of its use.
Answer:
Good morning/evening ladies and gentlemen today I am here to talk about the topic people are never satisfied with what they have . They always want more . For example if I stop right now the teacher won't give me marks since she wants me to say more about the topic :-) We don't want that now soo let me continue people are never satisfied with what they have they are greedy and sometimes this greed leads to disasters .But for some others a bit greed can help them be successful.This people are very kind and they know how hard life is so they try to make it a bit easier for other people. This will lead them to even more success and in turn more people will be helped by them . But since people are greedy at one point or the other they will stop helping society.They forget where they came from and starts thinking only about themselves.This is why there are people around the world who don't get food ,water and other basic necessities.I am not telling that the rich are obliged to help the poor but the people who are really in need for help like orphans.But they don't do this because of greed.If it wasn't for greed many people would have had a better life but for many life wouldn't be so kind.So greed is a necessary evil like friction.As you need to apply lubricants to prevent friction from ruining things . You need to learn to control greed but many people don't do so because they don't want others to be as great as them, because of greed. This leads to the fact people are never satisfied with what they have and never will be .
Thank you and have a nice day.
