Language and Power - writing powerfully

My A2s got to listen to Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen prior to the two-minute silence today and consider its power. Here is another person touched by 'The Great War' and his passion for the soldiers to be remembered as people who were treated as less than human, and for them to be remembered with great compassion and respect, rather than treated as political currency, is vivid in this piece.

Feel his anger here.
