This disconnection between the government and society shouldn’t be happening because we should know why we have to send our loved ones out to another country to fight for a “cause” that the government thinks is right. Next to war is the conspiracy that the government is tapping our phones and listening in to our conversations. If this is true the thought of this being an attempt of protecting is a bit crazy.

Thought crimes being bad thoughts about the government or Big Brother.
The first technique that I will be discussing is rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is a question asked for effect that neither expects nor requires an answer in the poem Exposure there two rhetorical questions and they both go back to Owens hatred of war the first quote is “what are we doing here?” even though the soldiers know they are here to fight for the war they have started to question it due to the fact that they are now facing a new war on which they dislike very much, this new war is the war against the weather the other rhetorical question is “is it that we are dying? ” during the war the soldiers wanted out of the war so badly the wanted to die.

Wilfred Owen laid out his poem “Dulce et decorum est.” with details about the men and their state of mind first, with the pace building and the action unravelling. In the second stanza the action is at full pace with gas shells (or Five-nines) dropping behind and around them, the fumbling and panic of fitting a gas mask and eventually the effects of gas on someone unfortunate enough to have not been able to fit his mask in time. The third stanza starts with the man being thrown into a wagon and driven away.
