6. Subject: Conflict, deterioration Occasion: War happened, people fought, and in the future someone thought, this would be a good thing to write a song about. Audience: Rock fans who like songs with meaning, music listeners in general Purpose: To protest war and warn about repeating it, to give hell a good soundtrack Speaker(Singer): Within Temptation Tone: Alarmed, dramatic, paranoid

7. This source is a song, which is a bit like a poem, only it isn't supposed to sound good when read aloud. From the lyrics, it can be assumed that war, and conflict in general, is the topic, though the word "war" is never used, nor is there anything in the song that obviously relates to it, except for killing. Instead, non-descript monsters are used as metaphors for the horror, as well as for how history repeats itself, and only the consequences and emotional turmoil are described. On the realism spectrum, this song is closer to the abstract side.

8. War should be avoided.

9. Sure, why not. In terms of how the realism, or lack of, affects it, it makes it more interesting, but also open to interpretation, which could cause some people to not get the point.

10. "I hear they're getting closer/Their howls are sending chills down my spine" "When we start killing it all will be falling down"

"From the nightmare we've created"

"It's like they all have just vanished but I know they're around"

Source Whatever:

1. Should art be "real"? (A much easier question to answer than "should reality be real?")

2. "Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind"

6. Subject: War, nationalism, dehumanization Occasion: Author was anti-war, wanted to express the sentiment Audience: Those affected by war, pacifists Purpose: To show why war is bad rather than glorious through the use of irony Speaker: Stephen Crane Tone: Sardonic

7. This source is a war poem. The author is telling the reader that war isn't that bad, but at the same time, he mentions people getting killed and others not thinking about whether killing is wrong or whether they really want to fight or not. This relates to realism in that, unlike the other poem, it is more explicit about why war is harmful and it uses imagery rather than metaphor.

8. War is bad.

9. Yes, it is rather death-y. The realism is good at shocking people into realizing the wrongness of war, as well as pointing out the problems with politics and the military.

10. "...a field where a thousand corpses lie." "Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches, Raged at his breast, gulped and died" "These men were born to drill and die. Point for them the virtue of slaughter"

"Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment,/ Little souls who thirst for fight"
