Dolce et Decorum est
1) Write a list of the events that happen in the poem in chronological order.
- Men coughing after being so tired.
- Rockets which were sent up to burn with a brilliant glare to light up men and other targets in the area between the front lines
- A camp away from the front line where exhausted soldiers might rest for a few days, or longer
- The noise made by the shells rushing through the air
- Outpaced, the soldiers have struggled beyond the reach of these shells which are now falling behind them as they struggle away from the scene of battle
- Five-Nines
- Poison gas released
- Everyone warning each other and wearing helmets
- The filling of the lungs with fluid had the same effects as when a person drowned due to him not wearing his gas mask.
- There is a substance which can burn live tissue
- The glass in the eyepieces of the gas masks
- Owen probably meant flickering out like a candle or gurgling like water draining down a gutter, referring to the sounds in the throat of the choking man, or it might be a sound partly like stuttering and partly like gurgling
- A frothy material was issuing from the soldier's mouth
- He is then chucked in a wagon with the other dead bodies.
