Support answers to these questions about the narrator through at least three references to the poem, and include at least one quote..As in all of your writing for this course, remember to be original in your writing.

The poems you select do not need to have been written during the time of the wars or to be written about these wars specifically. The goal of this assignment is for you to explore the vision of war presented in each of the poems, identify a theme about war that is presented in each of the poems, and take a position about whether each of their themes about war can be viewed as universal and timeless. To accomplish these goals, it will be necessary to support your ideas with quotes from each of the works.
