The Futility of Dying for a State through Poetic
Devices: "Dulce et Decorum Est" and "The Death of
the Ball Turret Gunner" Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et
Decorum Est" (1920) uses vivid imagery primarily
to remove any romantic or patriotic idea that it
is sweet to die for one's country. Randall

Aspects Of Life Present Day
1,134 words

of this one can still see vast similarities with
what was, and what is today; mans never ending
quest to understa...
