Both Wilfred Owen’s and Sara Teasdale’s poem holds a theme of their own. We as a class read two Wilfred Owen poems‚ “Dulce et Decorum Est‚” and “Anthem for Doomed Youth‚” and one named “There will come Soft Rains‚” by Sara Teasdale.

United States. The bitter sweet right to die for your country. Most of the time there is no real threat and your die for nothing. This was the idea of famous poet Wilfred Owen. In his poem Dulce Et Decorum Est‚ he explains that the sweet right to die for your country is a lie. “The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.” The only outcome of a sweet right to die is a miserable‚ without cause‚ death.

Sugar-Coated Lies Wars are always difficult to cope with. “Dulce et Decorum est” is a poem by Wilfred Owen expressing the hardships many soldiers had to face during the First World War‚ the importance of remembering the terrible events that occurred‚ and how completely bogus the phrase ‘it is sweet and right’ truly is. It must have been a horrifying experience for these men to fight for their country‚ especially at a very young age where they had a promising future ahead of them. But sadly‚ plenty
