Hunger of blood" the big idea is:" war is unnatural" arms and the boy a poem of Wilfred Owen is a powerful poem that uses metaphor and imagery, it is about " soldiers don't have natural weapons."
The main idea as I said is that war is unnatural. The metaphor " how cold steel is and keen with hunger of blood" makes it very unnatural. "Blue with all malice, like madmans flash" a similes, all connected to the description of the weapon. The second stanza talks about the bullet that they fire. He describes the bullet with teeth and a sharp grief
Attack-Ô Jesus make it stop! Attack by Siegfried Sassoon is a powerful poem about" going over the top", that uses imagery and metaphor to serve the main idea."Going over the top, Ô Jesus make it stop"The main idea of the poem is that the situation is hopeless and the men are desperate. With auditory and sight imagery, and metaphor, sight imagery is used the most in this poem. The sight imagery is best exemplified by" lines of grey... With fear"and "hope... Fist".the imagery is:" The barrage roars and lifts" . (In explanation, discuss what the examples do, including how they use metaphor as well.")
The sentry-War is a brutal nightmare." The sentry is a poem that represents a explosion.
It shows and explain a explosion and he wrote his feeling about how he felt when he had to leave people behind." I see your light" the poet used metaphor,alliteration, imagery,onomatopoeia, all to help him understand the big idea which is:" war is a brutal nightmare" the sentry is important in many reasons to make it important, he used alliteration, metaphor, imagery and so on. He used strong word such as, ghastly and horrific. He explains his feelings and what he sees using imigary of sight. In the sentry, the poet Wilfred Owen try's to make you understand the experience of getting bombed.
On passing the new meni gate-Who fed the guns, the big idea of this poem is that people will just walk away and won't remember the names."On passing the new meni gate" a poem from.... This poem uses alliteration, listing,metaphor , rhymes,but no similes, all these to help the audience understand the big idea. The alliteration in the poem is " Paid, witha pile of peace-complacent stone" the listing is " doomed conscripted, unvictorious ones?" This sentence is also a rethorecal question. The words that are repeated were gate and dead.
The armies who endured that sullen swamp...
Rain-Rain midnight rain, nothing but wild rain" the writer is very specific one this type of rain.
"Nothing but wild rain" this word rain is repeated 2 times in one single phrase, making the word very attractive, like its standing out. "Rain, midnight rain" he even uses time, in his metaphor, when is this rain coming from? From the dead, from terror, from war. As a conclusion, this word rain is the most important word in the phrase, also because the title of this poem is "rain"."And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks" 4 lines after the first one. This sentence has the word rain used only once, and the sentence is in a poem type, making it hard to understand. But anyway, now in this sentence, rain can be heard, I think it mean, don't thank the rain, I will use the sentence after " for washing me cleaner than I have been" the man is dead silent, not moving, maybe injured, maybe already gone...
