Attack by Siegfried Sassoon; Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred :: English Literature

Attack by Siegfried Sassoon Anthem for Doomed Y f only outh by WilfredOwen Belfast Confetti by Ciaran Carson No More Hiroshimas byJames Kirkup match and contrast the attitudes to conflict shown in three or fourof these numberss, pointing out how the poets use language to exploretheir ideas and emotions.Two of the poems listed above, attack and anthem for damned youth areto do with things that happened during world war 1.Both Wilfrid Owen and Siegfried Sassoon were voluminous with this war,fighting for their country. The poems that they wrote just to the highest degree the wartold of their experiences and in attack some of the yucky thingsSassoon power saw and was made to do.Anthem for doomed youth is more about what happened to the people athome and what they had to go through when they realised their custodywerent coming home.I think that the authors of these poems wrote about the war becausethey wanted people to realise that war wasnt a good thing, all itbrought about was pain, distress and it killed a lot of peopleunnecessarily.Belfast Confetti is written about the troubles in Northern Ireland.

I thinkthat he decided to write this poem because what he saw affected himgreatly and in some way he was almost angry when he saw some of theinhabitants a ttempts at trying to once again reconstruct a normal lifefor themselves.The bomb itself which was the first atomic bomb ever to be used in state of war was dropped on August 6th 1945. Over 130, 000 people werekilled or gravely injured by the bomb and its after effects.This means that Kirkup had nothing at all to do with Hiroshima itselfas the bomb was dropped before his time. Also he wasnt Japanese.The first poem that I have decided to write about in full is attack by
