IMAGERY
This shows the dark, depressing and anxious tone of the poem
WORD CHOICE
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
THEME
GLORY
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
HELLLLP!!!!
Imagery is used to show the constant anxiety and suffering he has even when resting.
They told us dying for ours country was glorious...
Word choice– the words said by the soldiers will show their indignation towards what happens constantly in war and how they I have been lied to.
Just another lie
This really shows the very dark theme of the poem as it shows how there is nothing glorious about dying in war and how all the government says in regard t that are lies. #160;
