poem. The first stanza of the poem is set to be slow so he uses words like trudge, which also describes the way trenches would be. Owen catches the mood of the scene very well. He uses words like ''We'' to describe what the men were doing which also reminded us that he was there along with them. Tennyson uses present tense but he can’t say words like ''We'' as he wasn't actually there. Both there poems have some similarities to each other, they both are about different wars, describe what the men have gone through and in some way have honoured them at the end of there poems. I think that both these poems have completely different views about the way they see the way because Owen was actually in a war when he was writing the poem him so he could see it all happening in front of him as Tennyson did not. He would not have been in the trenches when he wrote his poem so the conditions would of been very different and Tennyson would not of been able to capture the full picture of what the real experience would of been like where as Owen did and he describe it very well.
