Context consist of constraints, time and place, and community. Different authors use different elements in their writings based on their opinion of which ones are most important. I believe the relationship between author and audience is most important. I chose three different authors to support my ideas on the significance of the relationship between author and audience. The articles that I will be using for examples are, “Writing for an Audience” by Linda Flower, “Saying is Believing” by Patricia T. O’Conner, and “Writing to Change the World” by Mary Pipher.

Comparing Romeo and Juliet to War Poems Having looked at five war poems, three anti-war and two pro-war. It is apparent that conflict is shown through different techniques used by the poets, such as visual imagery, economical language and monosyllabic words, which are very effective. The main poem I have analysed is Dulce et Decorum Est. This is very much an anti-war poem written by Wilfred Owen. In this poem, Owen is exposing and expressing his pain and the futility of war.
A lie fuelled by propaganda which drowned the desperate amongst a green sea of choking gas. It is from these experiences that my poem ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ was inspired. At war, you will be degraded to ‘beggars’ and ‘hags’ and you will be hacked away so when you are at your most vulnerable, the gas attacks will send you into a desperate panic for clean air. The quickened pace stimulated by repetition and punctuation of the ‘Gas! GAS!
Then he kills Macduff’s family out of anger. In result of this is on his constant cruelty Macduff states, “Bleed, bleed, poor country!

Blood has multifarious meanings while our main character Macbeth is an abyss of varying representations. At inauguration bloodshed and Macbeth seem honorable, as we proceed they represent treachery, and eventually blood becomes the inexterminable token of Macbeth’s guilt. Honorable bloodshed seems almost a perfect paradox, yet it retains its value in the world of contention and war. The bleeding soldier is simply a heroic symbol of honor in himself. To validate this point the soldier is basically being interrogated even though he is weakened by blood lost he continues to tell his story of hope and valiance, all the while needing attendance.
Macbeth A dynamic character is a character that goes through a vast amount of change throughout the story. Shakespeare's Macbeth is one of the greatest examples of a dynamic character, moving from light to dark, warm-hearted to cold-hearted; even good to evil. This change is clearly visible from his first thought of killing Duncan, then instantly kills Banquo without reflection. Macbeth begins his journey as an average man, no different than you or I.
