Today in class we reviewed last night's homework questions comparing the works of Wilfred Owen and Alfred Lord Tennyson. We discussed how Tennyson's description of war glorified the fighting and while Owen's poem depicted war in a more horrific manner. Generations of Europeans grew up knowing only the romanticized version of war where the battlefield was filled with heroics and death was described valiantly. World War I changed that. Dying in battle was no longer depicted as a heroic and many men and women began to question their culture's values and traditions.
After reviewing the homework we continued with our notes on W.W. I and the end of the fighting.
Today for H.W.
please answer pages 24 and 25 in your Facing History Book. Here is a link for the World War I notes
