Dulce et Decorum Est

English
1 answer:
s2008m [1.1K]2 years ago
3 0

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.

What is the plot of fever pitch by nick hornby
postnew [5]
Fever Pitch is an autobiography, so it is about the writer.


The book is about the author's relationship with football, and about football matches that the author watched. So the book is technically about football.

How might this public service announcement impact society.

y now, you've probably heard that taking illicit drugs might have the unfortunate effect of frying your brain -- especially if you're familiar with the now-cliche 1980s anti-drug ad that elegantly compares drug use to egg frying with the pithy message:

"This is your brain (an egg). This is drugs (a hot frying pan). This is your brain on drugs (one fried egg). Any questions?"
