The Fallen by Laurence Binyon and The Soldier by Rupert Brooke are two poems with several similarities, though they are not without their differences either. Both poems are about World War One and the death of those involved. The Soldier, which focuses mainly on imagery of landscapes, while The Fallen focuses more on the imagery of the people in the war. The content of both the poems is the way in which death caused by war is dealt with. The difference is that The Soldier is set before anyone has died, and The Fallen is set after many have been killed.
Moreover, war only brought sadness to people if they lost their families in war. Many families are so devastated that they cannot even bear to open the letter. This message shows that war only brought sadness and families’ helpless. Therefore, “Yellow Ledbetter” is an anti-war song. Another thing they are in common is that they both are using first person.

Wilfred Owen believed he had a duty to tell the truth. How does he tell the truth about war in the poem ‘The Sentry’ Wilfred Owen served in World War One as a second lieutenant, giving him a true taste of war and the horrors it brought along with it. Unlike other war poets, such as Rupert Brooke author of ‘The Soldier’, Owen used his experiences of war and put them into words, rather than idealising war. He never wanted to glorify war or make it out to be something other than the truth. He said his main concern was ‘war and the pity of war’ He felt it was his responsibility as a poet to tell the truth and bring to light to atrocities of modern warfare, in a way others could or would not.
Critical and Analytical writing Peter Howson is a Scottish war artist who did paintings and studies from the Bosnian Civil War in the 1993. This war is extremely relevant to the painting: “Cleansed”, 1994 AD, which I will be commenting on. Peter Howson liked to show the brutality of humanity at the time in his paintings, without the need for printed word. In this painting, it is showing the suffering of the inhabitants of villages in wartime. There is a lot that one can assume just by looking at the piece.
During the war, a large number of those soldiers were killed in an ignoble fashion by diseases, poisons, ambushing, or in battles that shed blood everywhere. They died far away from home abandoned on battle fields. Countless soldiers were thrown into mass graves, never being identified. It was then the surviving soldier’s responsibility to write the deceased’s family members a letter expressing their dying son’s last words. This act of sending the dying words of the loved one was imperative to the family that was left behind.
The Americans felt that they had to show the Germans what was happening here all along. They forced the villagers from the city of Dachau to come and help with the disposal of the bodies, which were scattered by the thousands everywhere. (Amacher G.) The townspeople would never be able to unsee these images. The soldiers were also tasked with the unfortunate duty of disposing of the bodies. Troops said that the stench would have been unbearable if the weather hadn't been so abnormally cold.
After witnessing men die in horrific ways as well as those who were then unable to enjoy life because of their disfigurement caused by the war, Paul realizes that the deaths of these soldiers were nowhere close to glorious or brave as many depicted it to be. As Hitler stated, “And this action is the only one
One British soldier wrote of how “despite the flag-waving that greeted us [Britain's returning troops] many felt nothing but hatred for the leaders and those back home who'd sent us to die.” Both novels, “Regeneration” by Pat Barker and “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Marie Remarque discuss how the brutalities and horrors experienced at war have left the men who fought in it feeling alienated and ostracised from civilian life. It is as though the war has somehow consumed their whole beings leaving them forever tainted by the corruption of war and separated from the society that forced them to make this personal sacrifice.
She, along with many others, had been transported to an open valley where they had been attacked by axes, knives, shovels, hatchets, and pitchforks; unfortunately, she woke up to find that her family had not survived, so wounded and depressed, she laid there in great shock and disbelief until she was eventually rescued (88). In conclusion, the Armenia Genocide was a disastrous time in history. Millions of people lost their lives for selfish reasons that could have possibly been handled differently. Although, I was not there as an eyewitness to what happened during this time, I, myself, believe that the Young Turks, brutally and ruthlessly committed genocide. According to how the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide and statements for Grigoris Balakian’s account, the Ottoman government’s actions against its Armenian subjects in 1915 and 1916 did constitute
