Extended Writing Task:
Dear Jessie Pope,
I have read your
poem and I have to say that it is MISLEADING. You are influencing people to
take part in something that will lead to nothing but tragic losses and
unforgettable traumas. I have been in war and I know what it’s like to loose a
friend. I know what it’s like to be in the warzone struggling to stay alive.
Have you ever been in war? Your poem is fallacious and everyone I know thinks
so. So in response to your deceptive poem, I wrote a poem that I would like you
to read. It is a sonnet. I used imagery, onomatopoeia, alliteration and
metaphors, which of course you should know all about. So I would like you to
read it and write me what you think of it. I hope you understand that you are blinding innocent people and leading them into their deathbeds.
Sincerely,
Wilfred
Owen
