The panels that presented on Czeslaw Milosz’s poetry and my own analysis of “A Song for the End of the World” helped shape my understanding of the importance irony and Milosz’s desire to depict the atrocities felt by the Polish during World War II have in his work. Milosz was a Polish poet who lived through World War II. The impact of the war is seen throughout all of his poetry. In the poem “Incantation” Milosz uses images commonly associated with World War II and the Holocaust, such as “bars”…

Many people who enlisted in the war thought it would be a noble thing to do, but as it turns out the war ended up being a messy and bloody war. In Wilfred Owen’s poem, “Dulce Et Decorum Est”, he develops the theme of war and the horrors that it offers through his imagery and…

The poem “Dulce et Decorum Est” is written by Wilfred Owen, a lieutenant in WWI. It describes war and the death. This poem makes use of an ABAB rhyme scheme, sounding like a march with a steady beat.

War is brutal; it brings death, sadness, and destruction. In Henry Reed’s poem “Naming of Parts” and John A McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields”. The authors convey a soldier’s reaction of war.

Evaluating the importance of individuality and human dignity within the context of war, captures the destruction and loss of humanity within futile warfare. The intimate focus on a single moment separates ‘Futility’ from the rest of Owen’s poems, presenting a different side of war and importance of a single moment. The loss of individuality through war is explored as death consumes the soldiers, stripping them of their individuality. Futility presents the audience with a dying soldier whose…

“The Soldier” is not too similar to “Drummer’s Hodge.” They share some similarities such as taking place during a war, and death, but the themes as a whole have different meanings. .
