This was formally expressed when Andy witnesses a soldier being decapitated and his shoulders ripped away. The very nature of a random soldier being decapitated at any time leaves the soldiers’ in a state of shock and numbness over the nature of this death and that anyone of them could be next. “In front of him he saw one of the boys in the company fall full length, still holding his rifle, one shoulder and his head replaced by an vivid burst of crimson white, the sound of shell seeming to be still crashing back and forth as the earth shivered.” The use of descriptive colours enables the responder to picture the event of the bloody outcome of the shell attack and with the use of personification (the earth featuring
“The ghost of Caesar hath appear’d to me/Two several times by night at Sardis once/ and this night in Philippi fields. / I know my hour has come. Brutus was so guilt-ridden, ashamed, grief stricken of how he killed one of his good friends, that he has been seeing Caesar’s ghosts off and on a few times. He knows he has done something bad very bad, and decided to kill himself because of it. He finds that it is time to die.
Another visual image is used when “many has lost their boots but limped on, blood shot” and “drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots” creates the mental image of men struggling to stay alive, half rotten and half alive and closer to death (5-7). Another sample of image is used when he begging’s to describe the terrain “dim, through the misty panes and the thick green light, as under a green sea, I saw him drowning” not only does he describe the gas gulping his fellow friends but he describes the death of a soldier when he becomes drowned from the gas and his own vomit and saliva (13-14) Owen also uses auditory image when describing the effects of the gas on one of his fellow soldiers “come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud” the auditory image of such death is compared to being ill with cancer and knowing you’re dieing (22-23). Another visual image paired with “gas! Gas! Quick boys, an ecstasy of fumbling” and but someone still was yelling out and stumbling” creates the image of chaos and confusion within the soldiers that are being attacked and infected with the poisonous gas (9-10).

In the short story, “The Red Convertible,” by Louise Erdrich, death is represented in an unexpected situation. One moment can be full of life and the next one can be full of death. “His eyes are full of tears and blood and at first I think he’s crying. But no, he’s laughing. My boots are filling, he says.
An example of this statement occurred when O’Brian was stating that he killed a young man and there were scars on his face and his jaw was in his throat and his eye was blown out and in the shape of a star. He goes on to say a butterfly landed on his cheek giving attention to an untouched nose. Although some, if not most of this story was true, there isn’t full truth behind every little thing he stated. O’Brian wanted to exaggerate a little to make the reader feel as if he/she was there and feeling exactly what he was feeling at the time. Towards the end of the book, O’Brian describes his writing and says that some of his writing at first did actually happen, but the names
