Both of these poets were soldiers involved in contend during World War One.The Soldier is an uplifting and optimistic poem looking at the positive location of dying for your country when going to war. I think the poet Rupert Brooke wrote the poem to devote home to his family to reassure them if he died it would be peacefully and not in pain.In the starting signal stanza Brooke is saying that if he dies while away in this foreign country, that hell leave a part of England there. The following quotation is an instance that he is English through-and-throughA dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam.He was born and brought up with a certain kind of English modus vivendi and culture.

He is optimistic and knows he is prepared to die fighting for his country .The other poem Anthem for Doomed Youth written by Wilfred Owen is overly a sonnet. Doomed youth mean all those youthful men to be sent to war and on the front are destined to die. In the poem the poet expresses his views on what should happen to these people when they die. They all should be stipulation a funeral and a right-hand(a) site off, even those on the battlefield. You can tell this because throughout the poem he mentions funerals and church services.The first stanza suggests the repulsion of death and how they compare these men to animals For those who die as cattle.There deaths have been brutal and violent. The first stanza demonstrate this, it is full of noise and violence to show the pandemonium of the battle compared to the funeral they would have had at home and how it differsNo prayers, bells, nor any(prenominal) voice of mourning save the choirsThe second stanza is more peaceful and shows the sadness of the relatives when they find out whats happened and in t he second stanza it looks at the kind of send off they would have had if they had been at home. It uses words such as candles, turn over of boys, their pall, holy glimmers of goodbyes and flowers all things that are related to a church service. The final line of this poem depicts the morning of the soldiers relativesAnd each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.When a death occurred during this period the families who had scattered people they loved, closed the blinds to show their sadness and to keep the rest of the world out. In this case the consonant being repeated is D. D is a harsh sound stressing the relatives contend with losing a loved one.This poem is also a sonnet it shows personal feeling of what the poet though about not getting a proper send off.The rhyming scheme is-A B A B C D C D E F F E G GThe poem ends with a rhyming braces that means the last two lines rhyme.In the first stanza the poet uses onomatopoeia to demonstrate the sound on the battlefieldOnly the stut tering rifles rapid rattleIt is also an casing of alliteration.This poem is against war and the inappropriate way these men have lost their lives. The general mood of he poem is anger and sadness.
