How does Owen bring to life the experience of frontline soldiers in the poem 'Exposure' and 'Spring Offensive'? In the poem 'Exposure' and 'Spring Offensive', Owen conveys the harrowing experience that deceived soldiers endured on the front lines. Owen himself was a soldier during the war and experienced the persuasive advertising of misleading propaganda posters encouraging him and various people to join the British Army. Owen challenges society's expectations of war by revealing the corrupt process leading to war entry and the atrocious outcomes in various poems such as "Dulce Et Decorum Est" and "Disabled." It brings to life the experience of soldiers on the front lines by transporting readers into the reality of war. The word "Exposure" has a double meaning: exposure of soldiers to extreme weather conditions and exposure to danger from the opposition. Furthermore, the poem "Spring Offensive" is based on Owens' experience during the battle of April 1917. In modern society we consider spring as a time of recreation, although in the poem "Exposition" the soldiers experience the excruciating pain due to atmospheric conditions. As we move forward in the world, we perceive spring as a season of restoration and beginning. However, in World War I, spring was the time when generals often launched their heavy artillery. Therefore, in the poem "Exposition", winter was cold and was much more difficult to fight. In the poem "Spring Offensive" it began to get warmer and soldiers came out of the trenches and fierce fighting and death began. At the beginning of the poem "Exposition", the line "Our brain-ache" illustrates that Owen is inspired by another poet called Odde Nightingale from the line "My heart-ache". The tens... in the middle of the card... say that the survivors will never be able to recover their full mortality after what they approved and did. Owen also used other poems such as “Disabled” and “Dulce et Decorum Est” to truly elucidate the merciless experience of war. The phrase "as under a green sea, I saw him drown" and "dives towards me, gutter, suffocation, drowning" from the poem "Dulce et Decorum Est" denotes that time affects the soldier's lungs and that there is it's nothing he or anyone else can do while he's choking. Just as Owen uses the repetition of the word "drowning" to emphasize the soldier's desperation and to create a distinctive sound of helplessness using onomatopoeia. In all the poems the main theme was desperation and the reality of war. Owen brings to life the intense horror and experience that soldiers were forced to endure at the hands of the rogue government.
