The two poems “Anthem for Doomed Youth” by Wilfred Owen and “Vergissmeinnicht” By Keith Douglas fall under the genre of “War Poetry” and explore similar themes‚ including the effects of war‚ love‚ and death.

In this argument essay I will be identifying which of the two novels from Animal Farm or Anthem is more realistic. What I think is that Anthem is more realistic because it actually uses human beings and tells types of situations a person can get to. The rules in the book were like the law to them‚ in fact they were the law like‚ “none may speak the unspeakable word” or else they will be burned‚ like if a witch were to blow her secret she will be burned in front of the village.

Anthem for the doomed youth Wilfred Owen seeks to highlight the horror of war in “Anthem for Doomed Youth.” No matter how much we memorialize‚ tribute‚ or honour the fallen‚ we can’t ever really know what it was like for the soldiers in those horrible moments before death. “Anthem for Doomed Youth” strives to make it impossible for us to ignore those realities‚ and to realize that in the face of all that horror‚ our anthems might ring hollow‚ no matter how much we seek meaning in them.
