Emphasis on the losing nature of war no matter which side wins https://nowcomment.com/documents/309671?scroll_to=2757379 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309671?scroll_to=2757379 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 21:08:27 -0400 Line 4 and 5 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309671?scroll_to=2757360 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309671?scroll_to=2757360 War is shown to be like ‘bright arterial blood’ (simile), which emphasises on the lives lost. Blood is a liquid substance, and the flow of it is difficult to control as it does not have definite shape, showing that the effects of war will eventually get to people.

(Relating masculinity to violence) https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754367 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754367 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:21:33 -0400 ‘Gun’ could be persona’s ‘only friend’ as he has been exposed to violence for his whole life to build up his mindset. ‘Alone’ conveys a sense of hopelessness and melancholy as he is not free of such objectification even when he dies. https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754350 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754350 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:15:56 -0400 No control over their lives as they are objectified and seen as tools to gain victory for country https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754345 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754345 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:12:56 -0400 The persona is so used to violence that he is no longer afraid of life threatening events (devoid of human emotion) https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754339 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754339 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:29:54 -0400 They have no control over their mindset as they are brainwashed and taught to relish in war. They had no chance to see their true, human selves that once had genuine feelings and sympathy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754336 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754336 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:06:46 -0400 They lose their humanity as they are taught to be emotionless towards the violence in war (consequence in war) https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754315 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754315 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:04:14 -0400 ‘Made of clay’ shows how the soldier’s mindset was built up to romanticise violence in war. He is used as a tool to gain victory for his country, thus he loses his human nature. https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754310 https://nowcomment.com/documents/309670?scroll_to=2754310 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:01:34 -0400
