... Compare the representation of the experience of war and attitudes towards it in Stephen Crane's 'Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind' and Ronald Blythe's 'A Suffolk farmhand at Gallipoli June 1915'. To compare is to examine two articles and discover similarities and differences between them. Extract A is a pre-twentieth century poem and extract B is an account about, but written several years after, the First World War. Both the extracts are written by men. Stephen Crane, the writer of extract A, did not fight in any war because he was turned down due to ill health. However he became a war correspondent so did witness battles and gain some knowledge and experience of war. Ronald Blythe, is not the writer of extract B, he was the interviewer so the account has little input directly from him. This essay will examine the similarities and differences between their attitudes
