War is Kind by Stephanie Peace and Wilfred Owen’s Anthem for Doomed Youth :: Comparison Compare Contrast Essays

warfare is Kind by Stephanie Peace and Wilfred Owens Anthem for Doomed YouthWar and repose, a nonher saga in the on going battle of good versus evil. Ironically though, war (evil) is created in the process of pursuing peace (good.) The world today believes that peace is independence, the right to live, and a harmony between all. Certain places or passel do not agree with this though, so the good must go in and conquer the evil in order to create peace. Where as Claude McKay would agree with me that war serves to create peace, Wilfred Owen would more than likely say that war does nothing only when bring death.War is not pretty, as decorated as it may be, but it does have a purpose. Without budgeing, without battles, without war, our nation would not be what it is today. We had to fight for our freedom and our pursuit of happiness. Once we obtained this, we then had to fight to keep it from the Nazis, from the Japanese, and even Russians. In McKays America, he compares our nation to a tiger whos tooth sinks into his throat. He is saying that America is strong and fierce, and that blood must be spilled in order to stand with in her walls with not a shred/ Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer (725 9-10). If America wasnt this tiger, if America didnt fight for what those with in her believe is right, then the people with in her would live in fear and terror of being attacked themselves. This is why we must fight, so that we can keep our peace.While war may keep our peace, there are people who sacrifice themselves during battle who will never get a chance to see it. This is how Wilfred Owen views war in Anthem for Doomed Youth. Instead of those who fight in battle being surrounded by peace, they only hear the monstrous anger of the guns and only see candles Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes (731 2, 11). No, for those who fight in war there is no peace, only death. Only decay. This is all those who fight see and hear this is what loses in around them. To those who fight in war, there is no winning. To those who fight in war, there is no victory. No, instead there is only the pallor of girls brows, only tears and sorrow (732 11).
