'The Dead' by Rupert Brooke
The poem "The Dead" by Rupert Brooke is a tribute to British soldiers who died in World War I. It describes how the soldiers sacrificed their lives and youth, pouring out "the red sweet wine of youth." Through their death, they brought holiness, love, and pain to the country in place of the dearth it had known for so long. Their death restored honor to Britain and through fighting, the soldiers paid their subjects with a "royal wage."
The soldier by catheriine m
Rupert Brooke was an English soldier and poet who wrote "The Soldier" shortly before his death during World War I. In the poem, he expresses his wish that if he were to die in a foreign land, that patch of earth would forever be considered part of England. He also hopes that his body, which was shaped by England, will enrich the soil and that his heart and spirit will live on eternally, continuing to experience the sights, sounds, and feelings of his native England.
The soldier by emma corbett
This poem reflects on dying in a foreign land and how that land will always be a part of England. Even though the soldier's body rests overseas, his heart and spirit remain English as he was shaped by his homeland - the flowers, fields, rivers, sun, laughter with friends and gentleness of heart that made him who he was. A piece of England now resides in the foreign soil where he is buried.

Dulce et decorum est
Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et Decorum est" describes a gas attack on British soldiers during World War I. The poem depicts soldiers stumbling through mud, exhausted from marching. They hastily put on gas masks when gas is detected, but one soldier is too slow and suffers terribly as he drowns on land from the effects of the gas. The speaker has recurring nightmares of this event and challenges the idea that it is noble to die for one's country. The poem uses graphic imagery and addresses those who propagate pro-war propaganda to shock readers and undermine patriotic views of war.
The soldier
Rupert Brooke was an English poet known for his patriotic poetry during World War I. He joined the Royal Navy in 1915 and was sent to fight the Turks in Gallipoli, which had been a lifelong ambition of his. Brooke contracted blood poisoning and died on a hospital ship in Greece in April 1915 at the young age of 27. His most famous poem, "The Soldier," expresses a noble attitude about sacrificing for one's country that contrasted with the more realistic wartime poetry of poets like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.
The Manhunt Analysis
The poem The Manhunt describes a soldier who returns from war with serious physical and mental injuries from combat. His wife tries to understand the effects on her husband by examining his scars and exploring his troubled mind. Through metaphors, the poem depicts the wife's careful and loving search to help her husband deal with his post-traumatic stress. It illustrates the difficulties soldiers face in hiding their mental wounds and readjusting to life after experiencing the trauma of war.
The Falling Leaves by Margaret Postgate Cole
The poem describes a narrator riding through the countryside on a still afternoon and observing leaves silently falling from the trees like snowflakes. This simple natural scene makes her think of the thousands of young soldiers dying in their prime in the trenches of World War I. She draws an allegorical comparison between the falling leaves and the fallen soldiers, who were "slain by no wind of age or pestilence" but instead laid "strewed" across the Flemish clay like snowflakes vanishing without reason or purpose. The poem reflects on the devastating human cost of the war through this image of leaves dropping quietly from the trees.

Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible in 1953 as an allegory for McCarthyism during the 1950s. The play dramatizes the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693, where many were accused of witchcraft. Miller used the historical event to criticize the ways in which the House Un-American Activities Committee interrogated and accused people of being communists without evidence during the Red Scare. The Puritan society in Salem that fueled the witch trials is similar to the climate of fear and suspicion created by Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communist threats.
