Argument and Persuasion (Week 13)

This week we were supposed to blog about a reading from the argument and persuasion chapter in the text. I decided to talk about the reading Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen. This writing was about war and how terrible it can be. It is made very clear that the author views war as a terrible thing. I personally found it very interesting and usefull. Too many young kids these days get wrapped up in the war and action movies and video games. They see war as the "heroes" conquering the opposing side with clean and easy kills. However, the actuallity of war is anything but this scene. Young people need to realize the reality of war and violence. Even those who bravely serve their country often see and experience things they wish they could erase. This reading could be a lesson to all young people considering violence.
