Finally, I have chosen topic for research paper...

Previously, I have written in this blog that I was torn into two; either to do William Blake or Wilfred Owen. Finally I made up my mind to do on Wilfred Owen, the famous war poet ever. Some of my friends asked me the reason for choosing poem instead of short story or novels. I also question myself the same thing but seriously I didn’t know why. I am not good when it comes to poems because I always have problems in understanding the underlying meaning of such poets especially Shakespeare. But I think this might give me a challenge because I work on something that I never thought I would do. For my research paper, I plan to compare the writing style between two war poets; Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke. After I went through all their works, I decided to compare and contrast “Dulcet Et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen and “The Soldier” by Rupert Brooke. The message of these poems is basically about war. Thus, I am interested to know why Wilfred Owen views war negatively whereas Brooke’s poem is full of patriotism. Doest it has anything to do with their background? All I know is both poets live during the World War One. Wilfred Owen had the experience of being in the front line while was in war and he got injured a few times. On the contrary, Brooke also went to war but he went at the beginning of war which was before the reality of war was known.
