Hello friends!!
I am student of English department at MKBUniversity. It is my thinking activity. Topic is the war poetry. Let's discuss about the war poetry.
What is the war poetry?
War poetry is a literary genre original during first world war time when hundreds of soldiers, and also civilian caught up in conflict started to write poetry as a way of striving to express extreme emotion at the very edge of experience. This poems have a relation of personal experience to moments of natinal and international crisis. Let's discuss same questions about the war poet and poetry.
Difference of all the war poets:-
I study to five war poets in my syllabus. All poets write the very different styles of his writing. Let explain it in seperate:
Wilfred Owen style of writing:-
Owen found a strong poetic voice by use of images. Rejecting the style of poetry that was practised by Brooke and others, Owen wrote about the terror and shock of war from a very close point. His poems are harsh as the war, by the use of sounds as well as visually.
Rupert Brooke:-
Rupert Brooke wrote his poems in neo-Romantic style, inspired by the style of Georgian poets.
Wilfrid Wilson Gibson:-
Gibson’s poetry was characterized by an acute examination of the commonplace. His poems often focus on the lives of the working class. This, again, was based on the idea of making poetry more honest and accessible to everyone’s experience.
Siegfried Sassoon:-
Owen’s more heightened lyrical style, Sassoon is adept at catching the rhythms and slang of the ordinary soldiers he served with, whilst the deep empathy underlying the words raises the poems above plain satire.
Compare any two poems with reference to the subject, style of writing and patriotism.
I compare to two poems like The Soldiers written by Rupert Brooke and The Fear written by Wilfred Wilson Gibson.
The soldiers pome presented the first world war in 1914. Poet is also participet in the war and after write the feeling of the soldiers. Here he use the soldiers identity and he also part of the nation. It poen is a deeply patriotic and idealistic poem that expresses a soldiers love for the his home land in this England. And another side the poem the fear written by Gibson. Here Gibson did not serve abroad and was not involved in any fighting. His point of view of a soldier in the trenches. Here The centre of poem the experience of world war one. He represent the reality of a ordinary British soldiers.
The soldiers poem the soldiers two desire: origin of his existence and consciousness will retire when he die. Capturing the early enthusiasm for the war. And here we find some hope to reture die in war. Here he love for her motherland England. Theme of the poem are war, patriotism and nationlahood The fear poem is captures sense of honesty and compassion and vice of both soldiers and civilian. A parent questions the authority who send men to fight. Soldiers to free of brash patriotism. And theme of the poem guilt, madness, injury, death and sense of identity.
We find the both poem are very different to each other. One is desire to fright for the nation and another is not fight for the other countries and questions about the authority to send the soldiers to fight to another countries.
Do you find any such regional poem/movies/web series/songs which can be compared to any one of the poems given here. Also, give a proper explanation of the similarity.
Teri mitti me...
Teri mitti mein mil jawaan
Gull banke main khil jawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzu
Teri nadiyon mein beh jawaan
Teri kheton mein lehrawaan
Itni si hai dil ki aarzu
Teri mitti mein is a very similar song for the soldier war poem written by the Rupert Brooke. Teri mitti is a Hindi song. This song present in film of Kesari. This film is very patriotic and all Soldiers fight. It follows the events leading to the Battle of Saragarhi, a battle between 21 soldiers of the 36th Sikhs of the British Indian Army and 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen in 1897.
The soldiers:-
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
It poem is deeply patriotic and idealistic poem that expresses a soldiers love for his homeland in England. Both song are very similar to each other. The soldiers he was happy to fight in his motherland also he tries to give his life only for his land. And song also show the spirit of the countries and realy to die in his motherland.
