Attack by Siegfried Sassoon; Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred :: English Literature
Attack by Siegfried Sassoon Anthem for Doomed Y awayh by WilfredOwen Belfast Confetti by Ciaran Carson No More Hiroshimas byJames Kirkup correspond and contrast the attitudes to conflict shown in three or fourof these numberss, pointing out how the poets use language to exploretheir ideas and emotions.Two of the poems listed above, attack and anthem for blamed youth areto do with things that happened during world war 1.Both Wilfrid Owen and Siegfried Sassoon were gnarled with this war,fighting for their country.

Over 130, 000 people werekilled or badly injured by the bomb and its after effects.This means that Kirkup had nothing at all to do with Hiroshima itselfas the bomb was dropped before his time. Also he wasnt Japanese.The first poem that I have decided to write about in full is attack by
