False Perceptions Overpowered the Harsh Realities of the Great War The presence of clashing opinions and beliefs results in unknown reality to be overpowered by false perceptions. These misconceptions result in costly effects but shape the aggression and instinct of humanity. Society often reflects on this difference of expectation and reality through many forms of literature. World War I was full of conflicting and evolving opinions within it’s poetry from the people in the battle and those back
revolutions, there still are tensions and conflicts occurring in the world today. These tensions and conflicts not only affect the country or region they take place in, they often affect the rest of the world. For this reason, the Contemporary World theme of Tensions and Conflicts was chosen. The critical concepts of this theme are ideology, human rights, demand, diplomacy, intervention and interference.

From civil wars, to world wars, to ethnic wars, catastrophes have defined the period of human history from the 1800s to the present day. The trauma that unavoidably results from such tragedies is evident in the literature of contemporary authors, as they explore their feelings of nostalgia, sadness and loss. Emily Dickinson, Bertolt Brecht and Kazuo Ishiguro each address such emotions in their works, and provide their audience with different methods to cope with trauma. While Dickinson offers seclusion
The artwork I chose for the art criticism project was ‘The Survivors’ by Kathe Kollwitz. The piece was created in 1923 in Berlin, Germany, where she resided with her husband. She and her husband resided in a poorer area, and it is believed to have contributed too much of her artwork style. ‘The Survivors’ is currently displayed in two museums, the MoMA and the Kathe Kollwitz Museum. In the piece there is a woman directly in the middle, with sunken in cheek bones is draped in a black cloak. Her arms

In this essay I am going to focus on two characters, who show stress and fear. The two characters the essay will focus on are Stanhope, who is the captain and Hibbert who is an officer. A couple of background realities about the war are that it started in 1914 and a numerous countries were changed like Germany
In our exploration of Oh What A Lovely War, devised by Theatre Workshop and directed by Joan Littlewood. I, as well as my group, came across many challenges and opportunities throughout the extract. It was produced in 1963 and is an anti-war piece which was based on World War I. We wanted to remain true to the political message/gest of the play by mocking the senior command, represented by Haig. We wanted to show their incompetence when they needlessly sacrificed the soldiers’ lives. The genre is
A Comparison of Birdsong and Regeneration how far do you agree that these writings produced in recent years about WW1 you should consider the genders of writer any themes and symbols which you have come across in wider reading comment specifically on language? Because bird song and regeneration were both written in the 1990s we see that there is a different atmosphere to some of the earlier works from such
Authors throughout time have used many different literary devices to bring their stories to life. Stories capture the attention of people through communicating the author’s either personal experiences or otherwise completely imaginary scenarios. Some authors use their talent to the very best of their ability and successfully engage the reader and explain thoroughly the significance in what they are attempting to portray through different literary devices, such as personification. Robert Frost is
through its linking of ideas and language in its text. The poem addresses the falsehood that war is glorious, that it is noble, it describes the true horror and waste that is war, with the aim of changing the way in which society thinks about conflict. THE POEMS MEANING TO ME The poem epitomises the futility and pointlessness of war. Not only is war a shocking waste of life, but it is ultimately barbarous and pointless act as World War I so horrendously demonstrated to the world powers
war, which are written during a war that seems to have a noticeable influence on the poet . The crucial focus here is one war in particular: namely the First World War, which fought over the period August 1914 till November 1918. It appears as a conflict with aims that were quickly lost, sinking to a war of attrition in unbelievable conditions. It began with great elaboration with long columns of smiling soldiers parading off to war wearing dress uniform and feeling proud of themselves, fighting
Sheriff's Aims in Writing Journey's End What were Sheriff’s aims in writing ‘Journey’s End’ and how successful was he in achieving those aims? Drama has been with us since the times of the Greeks. It is very popular among all age groups. The main aims of a drama are to entertain and to provide a message to the audience. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is one of the most popular dramas to date. It is a romantic tragedy and is greatly appreciated, even today. It was written by one of the greats, Shakespeare
Five Ways to Kill a Man This poem is divided into 5 different stanzas, all of which involve different ways to die. The poem is written rather coldly and treats death as an every day issue, whilst the rest of us try not to think of such things. It is very dispassionate about life. The final stanza is also a political comment, as if to challenge our thought processes toward our every day life. The first paragraph start with a line that hooks into your brain, “There are many cumbersome
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith was born on the ninth of February 1897 Hamilton Brisbane. Sir Charles Kingsford Smith was usually called Smithy as his nickname.

World War One was one of the deadliest results of human violence, simply to attain riches, land, and to fulfill the greed for victory and pride. Young and old men alike were deceived into joining war to fulfill a fictitious and nationalistic duty, and were forced to live in the inhumane conditions in the trenches, offering their lives as a patriotic duty. In Wilfred Owen’s poem, “Dulce et decorum est”, the readers are given an accurate description of the hardships and horrors of the world war 1,
purposefully transforms this minor event into a symbolic metaphorical battle, using Bérard’s overpowering demeanour as a physical manifestation of Isabelle’s oppression. Faulks places the two characters “opposite” each other, creating two distinct sides of conflict whilst also implying an equality which is utterly disregarded, showing her lack of freedom. The combative tone is enhanced through the assonance of “unblinking” eyes that are “fixed” on Isabelle, creating an almost bestial quality to Bérard that
War can be defined as “A state of conflict between societies”. It was stated by Richard Gabriel “Nations customarily measure the 'costs of war ' in dollars, lost production, or the soldiers killed or wounded; rarely do military establishments attempt to measure the costs of war in terms of individual human suffering.” In counter position – one may personally define war as the human suffering from conscious decisions of countries. The implications of war are conveyed through numerous characters
overlooked by other historians: the horrific violence of the war, the war as a crusade, and the overwhelming grief felt as a result of the war. They use these aspects to provide a complete understanding of the war and to show how it made subsequent conflicts possible. Their method of research and writing is different as well. They display an obvious awareness of over reliance on and lack of analysis of many primary sources used by historians. Audoin-Rouzeau and Becker not only use and analyze some of
