#2 List the elements of the poem that seem not beautiful and therefore "unpoetic." Are there any elements of beauty in the poem?
What makes the poem "unpoetic" it is that it is about war. It is not about a nice kind of war. It goes into deep description of people dying. The poem is to graphic to show beauty. The only line that i can see beauty is line 15. It is talking about dreaming for the war to end
#1 Who are the two speakers? What is the situation? Why are the second speaker's words enclosed in parentheses?
The two speaker are a mother and a daughter/son. The situation is the mother just came back from the store and the daughter/son is hungry. The family seems poor so the mother does not want the son to have food.
