The poet made this poem about soldiers in war. I think the 1st stanza is about the differences of each soldier like height, weapon, age, and religion. After it talks about why the soldier doesn't want to kill but has to for his friend. I think the 2nd stanza is saying that the soldier fights in wars just to stop wars by winning them. I think the 3rd stanza is talking about him fighting for peace and democracy in war but he should know it just makes more war. I think the 4th stanza is saying that he was the one who started all these wars and continued them. He fights in the war for his family but it just makes the wars worst.

Very true. The war is only getting worse. Your blog on the other hand... you're probably expecting negative things... was great. I love how you ended your blog. Good work.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very well written blog Ryan, You had one long paragraph that could've been a bit longer but you inccluded most of the stanzas and your opinions. It was a great blog great job!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog Ryan M. I see you are not one of the people that likes to beat around the bush like me. Beating around the bush means to talk about it a whole lot rather than getting to the point. Hey, I just realized I used an idiom just like in the poem.
