'Dulce Et Decorum Est'- Wilfred Owen
- The old lie- it is good and glorious to fight and die, this is heavily contrasted in the poem- the death of the soldier is not glorious it is horrifying, dehumanising.
- "Bent double" suggests war has not made their life worth while but stolen it from them.
- Graphic description of death- this is no game, "drowning" "choking"- exposes the brutality and violence of war, often hidden by propoganda.
'Anthem for Doomed Youth'- Wilfred Owen
- Title itself suggests the death of those who go to war is inevitable- this is the reality of war, people die.
- "stuttering rifles' rapid rattle" everything is unsure in war.
'Exposure'- Wilfred Owen
- "But nothing happens" - constant waiting
- The soldiers are exposed to the weather, in terrible condiditons- the weather is the enemy.
