Compare Siegfried Sassoon’s works to Valery’s essay. How are their messages similar? How do the authors persuade their audiences

Dmitry [639]

Siegfried Sasson illustrates the dramatic transformation most soldiers went through after experiencing World War 1. Englishmen like Sasson initially thought themselves as involved in a heroic effort to defend liberalism and the British a hellish and pointless nightmare. Intellectuals like Paul Valery were also disillusioned by the war, and many feared that the West and its liberal values would not long survive. In the essay below, he makes allusion to the scene in which Hamlet ponders mortality while studying the skull that is all that remains of a man he had known in life.

What is the overall tone of this poem? Hap by Thomas Hardy If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh:

rjkz [21]

In Thomas Hardy's Hap, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the reality (by his perspective) which is that his bad luck in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence.

Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.

Therefore, your best answer is reflective.
