Literary Analysis: Dulce et Decorum est & The Unknown Citizen Verbal irony is something that can be used in our everyday life. Auden’s poem’s title, “The Unknown Citizen” begins with a verbal irony. Owen mocks war in his poem, “Dulce et Decorum Est” by showing how sweet and fitting it is to die for one’s country. Both of the poems use irony to present to the reader the pity of war, how there is nothing heroic about the “unknown citizen” and how the two poets have a similar intention on writing these poems. "Dulce et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen is filled with irony to demonstrate the true realistic nature of war. This poem is the most miserable illustration of war and how people’s lives are lost in seconds, whether they’re prepared or not. The poem’s title, which also appears in the last two lines of the poem means “How sweet and fitting it is to die for one’s country”. Owen starts off the first stanza by introducing soldiers who are “Knock-kneed, coughing like hags” (Line 2) and as they “cursed through the sludge” (Line 2). These sort of words in the poem were used effectively to give the readers an impression of what the real life of a solider is like, which underlies the irony of the poem’s title. Owen applied these words to demonstrate that dying for one’s country is not a sweet occurrence. Moreover, in the second stanza the speaker says “Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling” (Line 10). The use of the word “ecstasy” is a strange way of phrasing in the…

Encouraged by his brother, Leo first joined the military in 1851 to battle the Chechen natives. He wrote frequently when he was not on the battlefield. From 1853 to 1856, he served as an officer in the Crimean War. He was stationed in Sevastopol, a seaport that was frequently bombed. From these horrific experiences came the Sevastopol Sketches, a four part series describing the conditions. Edward Wasiolek exclaimed “the stories are on-the-spot descriptions of the siege and as such are historical…

Similarly to music, I utilize exercise as a form of expression. It aids me as a healthy outlet for my stress. I often will workout after a stressful day at school or work and I am able to release endorphins, while gaining positivity. My array of sports has been limited by both socio-economic status and location. Firstly, I was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, and although Madison possess an abundance of opportunities, the opportunities are quite expensive. My mom decided to work extra…

American and European educated elites may be outgrowing the “superstition” of religion, the “chauvinism” of nations. But armed men elsewhere navigate by a different compass. Let us enter their world for a moment, in the name of realism. For modern individualists, nothing is so enlightened as our present era. So it was considered a major insult in the West to tell Russia’s president that “you just don’t, in the 21st century, behave in 19th-century fashion by invading another country.” But…

affair into an international headline. Notorious today for providing game show participants with a headache, the 19th century conflict gave the world a preview of the horrors that war would bring in the 20th century. When a loose coalition of Britain, France, and the Ottomans stood against the Russian giant, many predicted Russia would sweep through the enemies with ease. And while this was true initially, it quickly became clear that both sides were equally met, and there would be no clear…

overland supply lines. Over the remains of the summer, the allies slowly nibbled at the Russian defenses, while the battle of the Traktir saw the final Russian attempt to relieve the city defeated by French and Sardinian troops. Finally, on 8 September 1855, the French launched one of the few well planned attacks of the war, aimed at the Malakoff, one of the two key strongpoints of the defense. A heavy bombardment was followed by a well timed assault by an entire French corp. Surprise was…

for the majority of its exports as 23% of them go to Russia. Also, four of the major banks in the Ukraine are Russian based, further proving the great involvement Russia has in Ukraine’s economy. There is also a close connection with Russia’s energy exports. In 2014, Russia’s natural gas exports to Ukraine accounted for roughly 53% of Ukraine’s total natural gas consumption. This close relationship with Russia is mostly due to the very pro-Russian former Prime Minister and recent President…

treatment of Christian minorities in Ottoman-controlled Holy Land also became part of the war’s outbreaks. Both Nicholas I of Russia and Napoleon III refused to back down. Both sides started demanded various changes for either side, which were opposed. Meanwhile, England, France, and Turkey tried to get Russia out of the area as soon as possible. Russia’s expiration date for occupying the region was slated around March 1854. On August 1854, the Anglo-French fleet managed to destroy the Baltic…

technologically advanced, and the French navy had metal warships to go against the Russian’s wooden vessels. The allies also kept their armies better supplied because they transported supplies by steam ships, while the Russians had to rely on trains and marches to get supplies. But even with these clear advantages, the Allies suffered many casualties because of the lack of insight from the generals that led the armies. ------------> The battle of Sinop was the first battle of the Crimean…
