World War 1 poem
The Dead
Rupert Brooke was born in 1887. He enlisted in the royal naval division during World War 1. He died at the height of the war when he was 27 in April on 1915. All throughout his life he wrote poems about the war. He saw little combat during the war. Many people believe that if he had survived the war he probably would not have written many more poems. He is now considered a war poet.
In his poem "The Dead" he talks about all the things that happened to victims during their lives. He speaks about how war has changed them and all of the things that have happened. This piece symbolizes how the war can affect people and also shows how soldiers see the departed. Rupert's experience from the war influences this piece because he was part of the war so he knew exactly how it was. This symbolizes how people think and feel about the war and also shows how the war affected people.
