"In the poem "Dulce et Decorum Est", Wilfred Owen shows us the true reality of war; a very different view from the poem we covered last week.

Jimin scribbled down notes while her teacher explained the new poem they were covering. The teacher's voice echoed in the vast room, empty except for a couple of bookcases, some tables and chairs and a multitude of paintings covering the walls. Her lessons were always held here, so she frequently entered the room, yet there was no sign of wear on the desk she was currently sat at, the wastepaper bin was empty as always and the chairs were all tucked into their corresponding tables. The same could be said for all the other rooms in the mansion. Everything looked brand new, never been used. The only room that looked slightly lived in was Jimin's bedroom, yet even that was always kept pristine and clean. If it wasn't for the clothing filling up the closet or the half-empty bath products in the adjoined bathroom, it would have looked like a guest room.

"Yes, Jimin," the older of the two said, closing the file in front of her.
