Owen develops the viewpoint that war is horrific and in no way glamorous by using similes and vivid verbs. || examples || Jessie Pope uses the extended metaphor of war as a game to create the viewpoint that war is fun and if not very serious. “ Who’s for the game?” “Who would much rather come back with a crutch Than lie low and be out of the fun?” || examples || Pope also uses personification to evoke a sense of duty in her audience. “Your country is up to her neck in a fight, And she’s looking and calling for you.” || Examples || In contrast Owen utilises simile to paint a picture of war as horrific and far from glamorous. “Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge” || examples || Owen’s choice of vocabulary effectively develops the viewpoint that war is often repulsive and deeply traumatic. “ Behind the wagon that we **flung** him in, And watch the white eyes **writhing** in his face,” || Summarise main points (Do not include any new info) || Pope’s viewpoint contrasts markedly with Owen’s.
