The last two lines 'The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori' means in Latin; how sweet and proper it is to die for your country but the word just in front 'lie' tells us they mean the opposite. Siegfried uses the last two lines to define the big idea 'it is not sweet and beautiful to die for your country'. Siegfried uses lots of figurative language to support the big idea.

Poem

Arms and the Boy

BY WILFRED OWEN

Let the boy try along this bayonet-blade 

How cold steel is, and keen with hunger of blood; 

Blue with all malice, like a madman's flash; 

And thinly drawn with famishing for flesh. 

Lend him to stroke these blind, blunt bullet-leads, 

Which long to nuzzle in the hearts of lads, 

Or give him cartridges of fine zinc teeth 

Sharp with the sharpness of grief and death. 

For his teeth seem for laughing round an apple. 

There lurk no claws behind his fingers supple; 

And God will grow no talons at his heels, 

Nor antlers through the thickness of his curls.

Rain repetition

Hook: Hear and listen to the rain.

Introduction: Repetition is when a word or phrase is repeated lots of times.

Thesis: The poem rain uses a great deal of repetition by describing it as human senses

Examples/explanation: When he says "hear the rain" he applies the affects of rain on human senses to evoke the threat of war. Later in the poem he says "solitary, listening to the rain" this also uses human senses however the use of repetition also gives a sad tone showing the soldier’s loneliness, with the word  “solitude”. And then together this shows how war gives the sense of entrapment and being alone not willing to talk to anyone. This describes how awful war was.

Conclusion: The writer uses powerful repetition to explain how war was like, to give a sense of war as if we are in it...using human senses like hearing.

The soldier

If I should die, think only this of me: 

      That there’s some corner of a foreign field 

That is for ever England. There shall be 

      In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; 

A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, 

      Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam; 

A body of England’s, breathing English air, 

      Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. 

And think, this heart, all evil shed away, 

      A pulse in the eternal mind, no less 

            Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; 

Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; 

      And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, 

            In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
