N4 added value unit ww1 poetry Melissa
McGhee
Two poems in which differing stances are adopted on the same subject are Who’s for
the game by Jessie Pope and Anthem for doomed youth by Wilfred Owen, the two
poems I like most, giving us the feel and experience of the tragic war
...

Who’s for the game written by Jessie Pope is a memorable and persuasive text
comparing the war as a game and implying a little danger on the battlefield, she also
refers the war as a sport as rugby where a players injuries would be an result with
the players returning on crutches, who’s for the game is a good poem for young men
as it encourages young men to volunteer themselves for the army and its more light
hearted and full of energy and describing war as a game “the biggest that’s played”
this quote gives us the better understanding that it is a big game and it’s an
important one
...
This poem makes the readers see the horrors of war and how
unfortunate it is to die in the war
...
Jessie Pope
still uses her persuasive technique when she says “who'll give his country a hand”
also referring to a question again
...
Jessie’s poem is like she’s talking to the reader
as she says “your country is up to her neck in a fight and she’s looking and calling for
you” meaning the readers country is fighting and their country is calling for help
...
This poem also describes the soldiers and the way they were
dying
...
The description “dying as cattle”
is also a simile showing how the soldiers are no important than cattle furthermore
Wilfred Owen says “only the monstrous angers of guns” to “passing bells” this shows

in war there are only sounds of guns being fired instead of honoring those who have
fallen and more being killed by the same weapons, Wilfred Owen also shows
alliteration “rifles rapid rattle”
...

Wilfred communicates how depressing war is by making an effective poem that the
readers can relate to
...
Wilfred makes the enemies’ guns seem evil and
mysterious this can give the readers to feel emotion throughout the poem
...

In conclusion these two poems adopt different stances on the same subject and I
think who’s for game is more effective
...

Whos for the game is effective and persuasive poem using propaganda encouraging
young men to join the war, it produces so much persuasing and jessie makes the
poem look like shes talking to the reader making it more effective, she uses words
carefully to make young men guilty and the imagary is fantastic as the poem is so
easy to understand as the imagary was simple and spot on
...
