In both of these poems war and peace is a big thing.
In the poem Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen, he wants to tell readers that at war there is no peace. Owen states “What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? –Only the monstrous anger of the guns.” When fighting you don’t get the sweet church bells, or choir singing you get the anger of guns and ceremonies that can be insulting. Peace needs to be a bigger part in the war not just for the people but for the soldiers as well. They fight hard for there country and they deserve a proper burial. In my opinion, he succeeds in his poet by the words, the way the tone of the poem changes. From Owens poem you can get that being in a war isn’t simple it’s a tough battle, but to pay respect is honorable.
In the poem The war Words Hard by Dunya Mikhail you can see the imagery and tone throughout the poem. In her poem, she states “Early in the morning it wakes up the sirens and dispatches the ambulances to various places swings corpses through the air rolls stretchers to the wounded summons rain from the eyes of the mothers.” Throughout her poem, you can imagine what goes on throughout the war and the pain it causes. Mikhail has a strong poem that reaches the heart of the reader and changes their mindset. Her poem succeeds in my opinion. The fact that people who go to war is known for being honorable because risking your life for everyone and your country is an amazing thing. The world needs peace to be a better place for all.
