These two poems are in some ways quite similar, as the authors write about two male characters, a wounded man and a boy, one of whom dies later. Wilfried Owen explored the effects of war on those who experience it by comparing the present life of a wounded soldier with his past hopes and achievements. Robert Frost's poetry is seen as a vision of the inhuman evils of technology, and its violence and desolation seem to justify such a vision. The "victims" are both young men, but the circumstances of their injury/death are very different, one is war, the other is domestic. Each writer used a different form, blank verse or stanza, and different uses of language in their poetry, which I will also analyze later on the different effects the poems have on the reader. Robert Frost's intention with his poetry reflects the meaning of life. This drives the author to the message that life must go on. As well as Wilfred Owen, whose poetry shows the real situation of war and how people have to deal with wounds and losses. Frost wrote his poem in "blank verse," meaning it doesn't rhyme and is in iambic pentameter. This describes the particular rhythm that the words establish in that verse. “And the saw growled and rattled, growled and rattled,/as it ran lightly, or had to bear a load./And nothing happened: the day was almost done.” Frost uses figurative language, such as “Five mountain ranges one behind the other/Under the distant sunset in Vermont.”, which gives the reader a better understanding of the narrative. The writer essentially does not want the reader to connect emotionally with the text, but you show him what people are dealing with. “His sister stood beside him in her apron/to tell them 'Dinner.'” Through the poem he does... middle of paper... hanged on an unattractive human being. This shows the carelessness of some people, as well as later, people did things without thinking or fearing the consequences that their decision might bring with it, as described below « Of the Germans he hardly thought; and no fear/of Fear has yet come." In the fourth verse, we hear some of his thoughts on the war, and his decision as to why to join her. “That's why: and maybe, too, to please Meg, / Yes, that was it, to please the giddy, / He asked to join. He didn't need to beg.” The use of many commas creates a fragmented sentence structure , which mimics the light-hearted way of thinking that leads to his decision. What he doesn't realize is that by making this simple decision, he has thrown his life away, as mentioned before as "throwing away his knees", and with that. the man was taking unnecessary risks..
