[missmcgrory]

Hi all, remember that when describing a simile, metaphor or other comparison, you need to use the JUST AS________, SO __________ formula. This appplies to writing about class texts as well as in Close Reading.

EXAMPLE:
JUST AS hags are old, feeble, ugly and weak, SO the men are deformed, unhealthy and less manly due to their experiences of war.

[alma mujkanovic]

1. " like old beggars under sacks"- they must be tired and worn out, look old and homeless.

5. "ran out of blood"- they were badly injured and loosing lots of blood
6. "blood-shod"-they ran out of blood
7. "GAS GAS!QUICK BOYS!"-seems like someone is shouting it out
8. "and flound'ring like a man in fire or lime"- crossest gas attack
9. "glaring, chocking, drawing"- it is bill-ding up a picture in your mind
10."devils sick of sin"- devils life is to commit the sin and too many things have happened even the devil is sick of it
11."obscene as cancer" it tells you how bad the man is feeling and it is almost as bad as cancer
12. he thinks the frays " dulce et decorum est potria mori ( it is sweet and noble to die for ones country)" is all a lie. Wilfred does not believe any of the frase.

'coughing like hags' is a simile, it is effective because instead of the men being young and healthy they are compared to old ladies.

'blood-shod' shows us that the soilders are injured and weak.

'helpless sight' suggests they cant see what is infront of them, it is personification.

'incurable sores on innocent tongues' is personification, this is effective because it suggests they have been poiosned.

'obscene as cancer' is a simile, it is effective because it suggests that their injuries are as bad as cancer itself.

Dulce et Decorum Est

1. 'Bend double like old beggers under sacks' is a similie which
derscribs the soliders were living like dirty homeless people.

2. 'Knock-kneed,coughing like hags' is another similie which gives you the inpretion the soliders are really old and very ill. Knock-kneed suggests thet they have beensitting for a long time which means they must have been cold and possibily wet.

3. 'Cursed through sludge' it emphasie the men on how they were feeling and also emphasies effective word choice as Willfrid Owen could have used a different word, cursed makes them sound tierd.

4. Men marched asleep is using a metopher and also alliteration. it emphasies how tierd the soilders were.

5. Blood shod suggets the men were injerd.

6. Flound'ring like a man in fire or lime for the fact it sounds like he is burning or struggling to breath because of this gas attack.

7. Face like devils sick of sin is a metaphore it is compering a devil to a bad life in the front line like the soilders.

8. bitter is another effective word choice because Wilfred Owen could have just say they were cold.

9. The title Dulce et Decorum Est was used ironicly as Wilfred Owen thinks it is a lie as the saying Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori means its sweet and noble to die for ones counry.
