Abstract
This paper examines how Wilfred Owen wrote the poem, "Dulce et Decorum Est", to reflect on his experiences during the First World War and attempts to establish whether it can be applied to any war. It looks at how the purpose of Owen?s poem was to shock the reader and move away from the popularly believed image of war being glorious. It shows how the poem is made up of similes, metaphors and alliteration, which create many vivid visual and aural images ? some of which are applicable to the wars of today. This essay points out a number of similarities and differences between war today and as it was in the First World War by closely analysing the techniques employed by Wildred Owen when he wrote the poem Dulce et Decorum Est.
From the Paper
"Later on in his poem, Owen went on to describe the effects of a condition specific to World War One, trench foot. Trench foot is where, through lack of basic hygiene and standing in damp conditions, the foot begins to decay. This was described in Owen?s poem when he wrote:??Many of them had lost their boots, but limped on, blood shod??
This told the reader that there was a thin layer of blood around the foot, possibly a repercussion of trench foot. This was applicable to World War One because the soldiers worked in trenches under terrible conditions, but could not apply to any other war as trench foot is no longer allowed to happen ? the men are kept in much better health and trenches are no longer a prominent part of war."

Abstract
This paper explains that there does not seem to be much in-depth information about Isabella d'Este on the internet as compared to other figures of her time. The majority of the references to her are in regards to either Leonardo DaVinci or some other lesser known Renaissance artists. The author points out that the best site by far is by a group called The Xenophon Group International, a military history group which delves deeply into the background of Isabella's family and her life. The paper relates that an Italy-based site titled "Arte Mantovana" is the home of one of the worst sites on Isabella d'Este; incredibly short, this site does not even begin to scratch the surface of Isabella's life or her many contributions to the arts, scholars, and politics of Renaissance Italy.
From the Paper
"There is one site that is bad, but not too bad, definitely not the worst; though it is merely a Geocities.com site. For those not familiar, Geocities is a free website hosting/building website. Very little of value, as far as education, can normally be found there. This particular site has a few things going for it that keep it from the bottom of the list. First of all it features a few pictures to go along with the information that gives you a better look at Isabella and her family. The information on the site is rather sloppy but there is more there than with some other sites."

Jung, Estes, and "The Sopranos", 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how the award-winning HBO television series, "The Sopranos", is one that can be analyzed by people everywhere and how new episode has more symbolism than the last. It looks at how the various story lines, plots, and characters are divulged in a way that creates a certain tension in the audience; week after week, people feel compelled to come back for more. In particular, it looks at how the characters of the series fit into the archetypes as described in Carl G. Jung's "Man and His Symbols" and Clarissa Pinkola Est?s "Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype".
From the Paper
"Jung and Estes both make points about similar things, but they do so in different ways. Jung believes that when one?s conscious state of mind cannot process a thought or idea because it is too painful, one?s unconscious will process it instead. Although Tony?s suspicions are right there in front of him, he cannot believe that his dear friend Pussy would betray him in the worst way. However, his dream tells him the truth, and this is the only sign strong enough to cause Tony to take action. Similarly, although Adriana sees Christopher right in front of her, she chooses to look at something different. As Estיs says, she is able to rationalize the ?good? things about Christopher (i.e., money and power), while the audience sees an abusive, murderous monster."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 98 and Windows CE. It describes the key features of each, the system requirements, installation requirements, history, and hardware/software supported.
From the Paper
"The introduction of Windows 98 was low key compared to Windows 95. Many corporate IM departments stuck with Windows 95 rather then going to Windows 98 because the cost of upgrading outweighed the advantage of Windows 98. Those that upgraded to Windows 98 appreciated and liked the many new features and especially Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) version. Many users that had Windows 98 upgraded to the second edition because of new built-in features and the low cost of the upgrade."

From the Paper
"The Early Vedic was the period of transition from nomadic pastoralism to settled village communities intermixing pastoral and agrarian economies. The Vedas are the earliest sacred literature of India. Composed in archaic, or Vedic, Sanskrit, they generally are dated between 1500 and 800 BCE; these Vedas were originally transmitted orally. According to Isherwood (1970), the Hindus consider the Vedas as being divine truth - truth known by men through experience of union with the divine in man; however, the Hindu attitude towards these sacred works is fundamentally different than that of the devotees of other religions towards their sacred texts: "The Hindus do not demand that the Vedas shall be approached in a spirit of uncritical faith. On the contrary, they insist that each individual must verify the truths taught by the Vedas through his own effort and practice, in his own life" (1970, p. 2930)."

Abstract
This paper examines how poems are one of the most powerful ways to convey an idea, message or opinion and how the poem ?Dulce et Decorum Est?, a war poem by Wilfred Owen, makes effective use of these devices. It looks at how Owen?s use of precise diction emphasizes his point, showing that war is a horrible and devastating event and how his use of extremely graphic images adds more to his argument. It also analyzes Owen's use of punctuation to create texture in the poem in order to express strong meaning and a persuasive argument of the dark side of war.
From the Paper
"The author?s use of excellent diction helps to clearly define what the author is saying. (Fulwiler and Hayakawa 163) Powerful verbs like ?guttering?, ?choking?, and ?drowning? not only show how the man is suffering, but that he is in a great deal of pain that no human being should endure. Other words like ?writhing? and ?froth-corrupted? hint to exactly how the man is being tormented by his enemy, as well as himself. The phrase ?blood shod? forces the image of men who have been on their feet for days, never stopping to rest long enough to recuperate. "

Abstract
The paper analyzes how Wilfred Owen presents a poem that reflects the horrors of war through the use of alliteration, metaphor and imagery, which are important poetic tools on the realities of death and dying in combat. The paper explains that through his experiences during WWI, one can realize the dangers of promoting glory in war through the stories that old men tell youth. The paper shows how in this manner, Owen presents a poem on the realities of war through the construct of his poetry.
From the Paper
"This literary study will examine the verses of the poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen. Through the lens of war that is presented in the text, one can see the horrors of war that the authors presents through his poetic technique. In essence, Wilfred Owens's dramatic use of alliteration, metaphors and imagery clearly depict his theme that war is a terrible and horrific encounter. The initial aspects of the use of alliteration in revealed in the 'ababcdcd' rhyme schematics that begin with the letters 's' and 'b' in various words of the first verse. Owen is keen to keep a rhythmic and rhyming feel to his poem and colors the words to give a musical sense of militarism in its structure. Alliteration offers this musical sound to the verse."

Angie Estes?s Poem, ?The Uses of Passion?, 2004.

Abstract
This paper looks at the theme of the poem, "The Uses of Passion", considers its intended audience, and critically reviews the poem for its banality and lack of poetic voice.
From the Paper
"Angie Estes? poem on ?The Uses of Passion? proposes to deal with the way in which passion affects the human experience. Each line or two describes the way in which passion will change one?s life, as in the third line which claims ?It tells you what to wear.? (Estes) The thesis of this poem appears to be that passion lends meaning to life, but this is presented in the most mundane fashion imaginable so that one is actually led to suspect that passion actually saps the mind of its independent creativity while creating an illusion of meaning and purpose."

?Dulce et Decorum Est?, 2001.

Abstract
"Dulce et Decorum Est" is a poem written by a British soldier during World War I. The poem's horrifying imagery has made it one of the most popular condemnations of war ever written. The narrative poem realistically conveys a depiction of war - complete with weary soldiers marching "through sludge," "blood-shod" and "drunk with fatigue". This paper discusses how an analysis of "Dulce et Decorum Est" guides the reader not only through the poem's message (which is simple enough - "war is hell") but more importantly it provides an analysis of the form and structure of the poem, identifying and defining the literary and poetic devices used throughout the poem.
From the Paper
"Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est" is an extraordinarily powerful poem that conveys the harrowing disillusionment of WWI trench warfare. Owen uses language effectively to jar one's senses and to convey a sense of urgency, anxiety, and fear. "Dulce et Decorum Est" is a brilliant poem, but it is not a beautiful poem because its thematic scheme does not allow it to deal with a glorious subject. Instead, the poem is a powerfully naturalistic account of the horrors of war; hence it cannot utilize beautiful, traditional poetic language because the language of traditional poetry could not be used to accurately describe what the war, as well as modern experience, is really like. Therefore, the poem is meant to be disruptive, raucous, and naturalistic in its imagery, language, and figures of speech. The harsh, grating sounds and the cynical tone that run throughout the poem provide Owen the means to capture modern warfare. The tone of voice, both horrified and angry, conveys his doubts and cynicism to the established traditions and values which made him want to enlist in the war and think that it is, indeed, right and honorable to die for one's country. After seeing first-hand what war is really like, the narrator now attempts to convey the truth that war is really hell."

Rhetoric: Non Est Ars Quae Ad Effectum Casu Venit, 2001.
A character analysis of Creon in the play "Oedipus" the king and a comparison of Aristotles "Rhetoric" and Creon's persuasive speech to Oedipus.

Abstract
This paper offers a character analysis of Creon in the play Oedipus the King, with an emphasis on human nature. One aspect of human nature that is explored is what Aristotle referred to as the art of rhetoric. The paper's main focus is Creon?s use of the art of persuasion. The paper uses Aristotle?s "Rhetoric" as the basis for the analysis, and as a secondary source.
From the Paper
?Sometimes persuasion is only glorified manipulation, and other times persuasion is truly the heartfelt sentiment of the speaker. Either way, in the eyes of the Greek philosophers persuasion is form of art. While Creon defends himself from the accusations of Oedipus he taints his words with succulent messages of pathos, logos and ethos... When comparing Creon?s speech to Aristotle?s guidelines for successful rhetoric we can see that Creon speaks in a manor that renders him ?worthy of confidence? (17)."

Clich?s and Poetry, 2006.
This paper compares two poems, which reconsider cliches in a new light, "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost and "Dulce et Decorum est" by Wilfred Owens.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that one of the most useful aspects of modern poetry as a literary medium is that poetry has the unique ability to take the words of a cliche and use the intense language of the poetic medium to force readers to reconsider that cliche in a new light. The author points out that the cliche in Robert Frost's poem "Mending Wall" is "Good Fences make Good Neighbors" and Wilfred Owens' "Dulce et Decorum est" (It is sweet and right to die for your country) depicts a man being gassed during the First World War. The paper relates that Owens' poem takes the form an observation, not a stilted conversation as in "Mending Wall"; in "Dulce et Decorum est" the man dies before the poet's eyes and rather than argue with the man as in Frost's poem.
From the Paper
"The poet uses this specificity of language for similar reasons as to Frost-to set the scene and to verify the poet's knowledge and right to question the cliche at the heart of the poem, but Owens seems even more careful to show that he is a solider, than Frost is to show that he is a farmer and a property owner. Owens does not use metaphors like Frost does, about imagining the stranger as like a savage of old, or dwell on common and natural details. Owens' specific place names and technical references are all unexplained, and are often details and names only a soldier would know and notice, in contrast to apples and pine as in Frost, which not only a farmer would be acquainted with."
