WW1 poems evaluation

What have I learned from the WW1 poetry?

We had some lessons on world war 1 poetry where we read some poems about WW1. In these poems most authors criticised the war and the way the men were treated or recruited. We also had a drama lesson from the theatre group Phileas Fogg, I have learned that most of the young men wanted to join up for the army but didn’t know what was going to happen, also these "men" lied about their age because they were too young to actually join. Even if the boy looked like he was 12 it was conceded because it was war. Also, most men were scared they would be treated as cowards if they wouldn't join the army. WW1 poetry is really emotional and most of the time it describes teh harsh conditions the men were in and how the war took their live. I learned a lot about WW1 thanks to these poems and the Phileas Fogg theatre group helped us understand it even better by performing a play which gave a more "real" feeling to it.
