War Poetry homework


For those who prefer drawing: Draw one of the key images that stands out for you from each of the poems we have looked at. Include a quotation from the poem somewhere on / within the picture. So, one image and quotation from Pope’s poem and one from Owen’s poem.

OR

For those who prefer words: Write a paragraph about each of the two poems. Choose one image that stands out for you and write a detailed paragraph about why you think the lines are important to your understanding of the poem.

 

*Extension (optional) Find a copy of Rupert Brooke’s poem ‘The Solider’ (There are plenty online). Read it and decide whether you think it is a pro-war or an anti-war poem. Does it have more similarities with ‘Who’s for the Game?’ or ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’?
 
Due: Tuesday 28th April
