many decades and proved to be one of the greatest in American history. However due to the fact that his writing career was so long, it can be said that his writing could have changed over time due to occurrences or events that he experienced which could have possibly changed his perspective on the content of his writing. According to Randall Fuller the civil war that took place in America “changed Walt Whitman’s poetry.” (Fuller, 2011). Through the comparative analysis of two selected extracts from
death inspired many talented writers and poets at war to turn their experiences and thoughts into verse lines. However, the poets did not only depict the reality and horror of war, but there were also ones who celebrated the honour of going to war and dying in action. In my paper I am going to compare two poems dealing with the Great War.

all invited by an unknown host, and soon, one by one, they start being murder. “They have each been invited but none are absolutely clear on the details of their stay” (Monkey notes 1). Soon, they discover that the killer must be one of the guest, but no one knows who it could be. “Since there is no one else on the island, then that means that the killer can only be one of them” (Bookrags 1). This all leads up to a shocking ending, which makes this book one of the best mystery books written. Agatha
