Paper Summary:

This paper examines three statements about war, namely, "Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die," by Herbert Hoover; "Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die," by Salvador Dali; and "You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way," by Will Rogers. The paper then applies these statements to the book, "All Quiet on the Western Front," by E.M. Remarque, focusing on the character, Kantoreck. The paper then discusses how these words are incorporated into the works of W. Owen, who wrote poetry with strong anti-war sentiments, including his famous "Dulce et Decorum Est" and "Anthem for Doomed Youth".

From the Paper:

"Owen expressed the futility of lost lives in his poem Anthem for Doomed Youth, "What passing bells for those who die as cattle/Only the monstrous anger of the guns/Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle/Can patter out their hasty orisons." (Owen) Owen cursed the emptiness of the lives and unsung deaths of the youthful soldiers, and cried for their lost lives. Dali makes his statement partly in jest as he is fully aware that the whole of society and culture are hurt by war and by the deaths of so many courageous young men. At the very least their families are affected. Dali means for his words to ring sarcastic while Owen means for them to be vivid recollections of the internal and external losses of those who engage in war."
