    This Poem

    Many studies are i comparison of this poem to Pope's 'Who's for the Game?'. This poem is (as said) a direct response to the latter. The amazing language techniques, vocabulary and graphic writing present Owen's obvious poetic skill. His argument was probably aided by the fact that he was very passionate about dissuading the reader from war, and he experienced it first hand. Neither poem can be historically reliably through their biasness and purposes, however I feel this to be the most truthful.
    I hope this point is considered and found useful.
