Both of these poets were soldiers involved in fighting during World War One.The Soldier is an uplifting and optimistic poem expression at the positive side of dying for your country when going to war. I think the poet Rupert Brooke wrote the poem to confide home to his family to reassure them if he died it would be peace fullyy and non in pain.In the first stanza Brooke is saying that if he dies while a flair in this foreign country, that hell leave a crack of England there. The following quotation is an example that he is English through-and-throughA propagate whom England bore, shaped, made aware,Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam.He was born and brought up with a authoritative kind of English lifestyle and culture. He then goes on to name the flowers and winding paths ma king us think of England as idyllic and peaceful. He uses personification in the first line of the quote. It compares England to a woman large birth to a child and bringing it up.In the befriend stanza Brooke describes England as a country of no evil and that he will call(a) it forever, hell always have happy memories from the past when he lived in England. some(a) of the best memories being times hes spent with the state he loved. The final line in stanza ii isIn hearts at peace, at a lower place an English heaven.This conveys that England has shaped him into who he is and he is proud of it.The Soldier is a sonnet. A sonnet is a 14-line poem used to express personal feelings. His pickax of spoken communication describe his personal feelings as well. These words all tot reassurance to the poets relatives that if he dies, it will be peaceful. Examples of the words used to describe the pause are blest, dream, gentleness, peace and heaven.One of the main features that the po et uses in this in this poem is repetition. The most widely used word that the poet uses repeatedly is England and English adding to the patriotism and significance that England has to him it isnt just a place it represents a culture and a set of values as well.The structure of the poem is that it has two verses and 14 lines in total. The rhyming scheme is-A B A B C D C D E F G E F GEach letter represents a line, two lines with the same letter means that it rhymes.Brooke uses alliteration, the consonant that is being repeated is an f, it is a soft sound yet again showing calmness and wild pansyThat theres some corner of a foreign fieldThat is forever England. new(prenominal) alliteration such asHer sights and sounds, Dream happy as sidereal day, And, laughter, learnt of friends.All these show how the poet feels about the possibility of his death. He is optimistic and knows he is prepared to die fighting for his country.The other poem Anthem for Doomed Youth written by Wilfred Owe n is excessively a sonnet. Doomed youth mean all those young men to be sent to war and on the strawman 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 given a funeral and a proper send 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 horror 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 voice of mourning save the choirsThe jiffy stanza is more peaceful and shows the grief of the relatives when they find out whats happened and in the second stanza it looks at the kind of send off they would have had if they had been at hom e. It uses words such as candles, hands of boys, their pall, holy glimmers of goodbyes and flowers all things that are related to to a church service. The final line of this poem depicts the morning of the soldiers relativesAnd distributively slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.When a death occurred during this period the families who had deep in thought(p) people they loved, closed the blinds to show their sadness and to keep the rest of the realism out. In this case the consonant being repeated is D. D is a harsh sound stressing the relatives coping 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 couplet that means the last two lines rhyme.In the first stanza the poet uses onomatopoeia to demonstrate the sound on the battlefieldOnly the stuttering rifles rapid rattleIt is also an example of alliteration.This poe m is against war and the inappropriate way these men have lost their lives. The general mood of he poem is anger and sadness. Anger because the young men died unnecessarily without having much of a life and sadness because all these people are dying needlessly and others are mourning because of this.The Soldier and Anthem for Doomed Youth are both sonnets with two stanza and 14 lines but both poem are completely unlike in their take of the same situation.
