These four ads have one thing in common. They all have something that makes sacrificing your life and fighting in war such a pleasant or enjoyable thing to do. None of the ads display any information of any risks you are taking by joining to fight in war or anything negative that will come out if it. All of the ads make it seem as if going to war is actually the better thing to do. In the first ad, The Departure, where it shows German troops leaving on a train and women happily serving them tea or coffee and giving them flowers makes it seem like if you go to war this can be you and you will be treated as royalty. The second ad shows a sergeant above a trench handing a pack of smokes to his troops. On the side it says “Time for one more”. Obviously

In Dulce Et Decorum Est Owen describes how hundreds of thousands of men were attacked by the Germans during a poison gas attack. One thing I clearly noticed in this poem and a little from Disabled is that the use of words was quite interesting such as “flound’ring”, “plunges”, “jolt”, and “gargling”. He used very detailed descriptions to describe what he was telling and I found to be a big part of how touching his poem was. Wilfred Owen’s Disabled was more touching in my opinion. It was about a soldier enlisting in the war and afterwards he was so injured that he ended up in a wheelchair. This poem was filled with more sorrow than Dulce Et Decorum Est. One line that really impacted me while I was reading was when he wrote “Now he will never feel again how slim Girls’ waists are, or how warm their subtle hands” (Owens, 370). I thought this was a touching line because it tells you how severe his injuries are and how tragic it is. The next line was just as sad “All of them touch him like some queer disease” (Owens, 370). This hurts more than the first quote because not only can that soldier not be able to feel women’s hands, but now they see him as peculiar and not the same. In conclusion these two poems by Wilfred Owen both have some touching lines and have that sorrow vibe while reading. Although I enjoyed Disabled more, I liked them
