from the last lesson we had with the power point presentation I have learnt that patriotism was a key theme towards the poems we looked at, they were all proud to die for their country and die with a big 'BANG'.

p.s both poems are completed for you (dulce et decorum est) and Mr.Leamon (The Followers).

See you monday.

One thing i have learnt about WW1 and WW1 Poems is that they where very patriotic about dieing for their contrary, and poets convey this through there poetry.

ww1 poetry are mostly about patriotisim.they are mostly about telling citizen to go and fight and be proud of their country. during ww1, fighting for your was the most respectable job you may ever have.

I have learned that war wasn't as "glorious" as most poems suggested. I have also learned that most people believed in being patriotic, and that people should be proud to die for their country :)

What world ww1 poetry seems to convey a dark, grotesque , bloody atmosphere in which is respresented in most work. WW1 poetry writers seems to also convey the emotions of the soldiers as that of with no hopes feeling they have a only a duty and are litreally just tools, being in conditions such as this changes every survivers view on reality serverly.~

during WWI, most of the poems written and published were patriotic, they urged people to fight for your country. We also learned it was seen as a honour to die for your country.

In the last lesson on WW1 I learnt alot of poems written before the war were patroctic (where they would proudly die for their country). It was seemed cowardly at that time to refuse to go to war, hence why most men went to fight and were not scared to die. Poetry was a big influence at that period.
