    inspired many of Wilfred Owen’s poems. He was very dedicated to his country. In fact he even enlisted himself in the military voluntarily. The war had many influences on Wilfred and his poems. For example‚ a quote from Dulce Et Decorum Est “If you could hear‚ at every jolt‚ the blood come gargling from the forth-corrupted lungs obscene as cancer‚ bitter as the cod of vile‚ incurable sores on innocent tongues”‚ this poem he was talking about the gas attacks. I believe that Wilfred Owen’s writing style

On the other hand‚ Brooks also served in the military‚ but never went to battle. This is noticeable by the way they both write

    Asleep by Wilfred Owen Poem Under his helmet‚ up against his pack‚ After so many days of work and waking‚ Sleep took him by the brow and laid him back. There‚ in the happy no-time of his sleeping‚ Death took him by the heart. There heaved a quaking Of the aborted life within him leaping‚ Then chest and sleepy arms once more fell slack. And soon the slow‚ stray blood came creeping From the intruding lead‚ like ants on track. Whether his deeper sleep lie shaded by the shaking Of great wings‚ and

The first thing Owen does is to give us a vivid description of what is happening‚ he tells us that he and his men are marching away from the trenches‚ and the way Owen describes his men gives us a clear picture of what they have been through. "Bent double‚ like old beggars under sacks‚ knock-kneed‚ coughing like hags" They had been
