He entered World War 1(1914 - 1918) in October 1915 and fought as an military officer in the battleof the Somme in 1916 but was hospitalised for shell shock in May 1917.Here he met Siegfried Sassoon, a poet whose anti-war works were inharmony with Owens concerns. low Sassoons care, Owen beganprodu cing the best work of his short career. His poems are suffusedwith the horror of battle and are a passionate expression of outrageat the horror and pity for the young person soldiers sacrificed in it. Owenwas awarded the military cross for serving in the war withdistinction. He died one year after returning to battle and one week sooner the war ended in 1918.I entrust that Owen wrote these poems because he wanted to tell people close to the horrible things he has seen and been through. Also I believehe wrote them to deliver the truth to the people at home and to thepeople who were thinking of going to war because it was glorious. Idont think he was telling them non to go to war but to go to war... ...poems have a few differences, which make themcontrast with each other. Anthem is describing the funerals/burialof people at home and Dulce is about the death on the battlefield.Anthemis a reflective poem whereas Dulce is very visual andextremely graphic giving it a deeper impact on the reader. Anthemis written as a sonnet because it has 14 lines, 3 quatrains and onerhyming couplet. This immediately gave me the impression that the poemwas softer than Dulce (Which is written in free verse) because Itend to blighter a sonnet with Romeo and Juliet, which is all aboutlove.In conclusion I think that Dulce Et Decorum Est effectively conveyedOwens message to the reader because it was much more visuallydisturbing, and made you feel pity and sympathy for all the thousandsof people who die like that in the wars we have had in the past.
