paragraph on the sentry

"O sir, my eyes — I'm blind — I'm blind, I'm blind!”. The sentry is an important poem for many reasons. It highlights all the reactions to Bombing and the feeling they had when they had to leave people behind. War is a brutal nightmare. Wilfred Owen uses imagery so you could experience what happened during the war when the English were in the German trenchs and got bombed.  He uses words like terrible, horrific and ghastly, he also uses alliteration, onomatopoeia and metaphors to truly show you what happened. Wilfred Owen explained the experiences by using other people’s experiences he added many people talking to his poem. In the poem the sentry Wilfred Owen uses different techniques to help you feel the experiences of Getting bombed  that occurred during the war.
