The sounds of the heavy artillery, bombs exploding and screaming of the soldiers throughout the battle also add to the horror. Spielberg also used the view of the enemy soldiers to show the mass destruction and death that was occurring. It showed that it was effortless for the enemy to just shoot and kill their targets. In the opening part of the scene, we see an old veteran of the war whom is in a French cemetery walking through it to find a certain grave. Whilst he is walking we see a panning shot of all the tombstones, we see a close up of the man’s face where he is tearing up and the camera begins to zoom into his eyes, a flashback occurs of the soldiers all on a boat preparing to face the horror of the war.
Humbleness is one of the many qualities and characteristics of a hero. Humility or humbleness is having a feeling of insignificance, inferiority, or subservience. A great humbled hero is also someone that is always ready to accept other people’s advice and learn from their mistakes. In my opinion, heroes that show strong traits of humility are quick to admit to the mistakes that they have made. A hero will avoid attracting the attention of others.
Through his poems, Owen highlights the unjust experiences of soldiers to create a protest against the bureaucracy because of how they justified the harming and killing of many for their own political gain. He does this by highlighting the actions and inactions of the bureaucracy that contribute to benefit of the administration. This can be explored in his poems ‘Parable of the Old Man and the Young’ (Parable) and the epic war poem ‘Disabled’. These two poems employ Owens message of anti-war sentiment to establish a connection with the audience through his manipulation of poetic techniques. Owen highlights such unjust experiences of the soldiers to augment his argument against the bureaucracy.
In War Photographer, Carol Ann Duffy discusses the death caused by wars. She writes with strong emotions to convince the reader how horrific a war can be and can lead to endless misery. And through the poem she has use a metaphor 'he a priest preparing to intone a mass' to compare the character as a priest showing how sorrowful the photographer is. Moreover he takes photos during wars which allows him to past on messages to other people about the victims like preaching. Furthermore, the comparison of the photographer and the priest also shows the job the photographer is doing is seem to be very sacred and he takes a high responsibility for this mission.
Mental Cases was written to demonstrate the mental consequences of war on participating soldiers in World War I. The subjects of this poem are the inmates in a military hospital. The poem displays a part of the war that to some civilians can be considered worse than losing your life, losing your mind due to shellshock.

The mood of the poem is one of fury, this is shown throughout the poem with the use of imagery.
The two men are on completely different ends of some form superiority complex. Gatsby apparently does not care about what the world thinks of him. He simply has an overwhelmingly grand amount of hope, and it is this hope that motivates him to live onward towards the future. These two characters work well together because Gatsby shows Carraway that there is a difference between thinking your superior and actually being superior. [Tom] In chapter two, Fitzgerald introduces the Buchanans.
This can be seen in his two poems ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ and ‘Parable of the Old man and the Young’. Through these poems, Owen is motivated by a powerful examination of people during a highly negative state. Focusing on the exhaustion of soldiers and their movement throughout the battlefield is one of Owens key techniques throughout his poetry. When it comes to Owens poetry, the impact war has on the soldiers is clear, this is evident in his poem, ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’. Soldiers who go off to war are meant to be healthy and strong, however, this poem portrays the soldiers as old and unhealthy people.
That's the nature of a hero. It kills him, of course, ultimately. But it makes the whole struggle of humanity worthwhile.” “We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up ... discovering we have the strength to stare it down.” “Heroism is endurance for one moment more.” “Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with.” “We are all ordinary. We are all boring.
Okonkwo was one of the strongest and most respected men in his society. Yet, he feared becoming an exact image of his father; therefore, embodying the values of manliness, he took on his own approach to life and how he dealt with problems in society. By adapting to his own deranged idea of masculinity he rejected everything that his father stood for, such as cowardice, gentleness, and laziness. Okonkwo stood for bravery, courage, hard work, and
Owen is driven more by betrayal than the actual horror of war. Do you agree? Wilfred Owen composed his collection of poetry entitled ‘The War Poems’ during his horrific experiences on the battlefront of World War One. He was compelled to write them because of the deception and dishonesty he felt was being spread about what war was like. Owen used his poems to deliver the truth about war and change the views of society at that time.
