dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, by wilfred owen
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime ...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, -
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
this poem was wrote in 1917 during the first world war, and was originally meant to be sent as a letter to wilfred owen's mother. wilfred describes the floundering of the soldier without his mask on, drowning in mustard gas, choking, guttering. some say that this is too gruesome and others say that it is okay to express his feelings into words.
dulce et decorum est pro patria mori is translated to say "it is sweet and right to die for your country." this poem really puts you in the front lines of the first world war and gives you a sense of what it was like to be there, scared, not knowing when your time will come, and will you ever survive?

creature comforts (new)
Creature comforts questions
1) Because it wasn’t like any normal advert and actually took time to make unlike filming someone talking for days on end.
2)
3) Nick Park was responsible for the short film. And nick park, Phil rylance and Paul cardwell made the advertisements
4) It was produced as part of a series called lip synch for channel 4. The adverts were put together using peoples voices talking about electricity or dishwashers and talking about how good they were
5) The creative tea, of advertising agency GGK
6) My favourite is the cat and dog because it was always talking about warmth and I like being warm.
7) Children would like to watch this.
No one likes boring adverts. And these weren’t boring.
Could sometimes be amusing.
People liked the use of animals instead of humans.
Didn’t always do the same thing with animals talking about dishwashers and electricity (except they did!)

tony hart
tony hart was in my opinion, the best animator in his time, mainly because of his hard work making morph, alot of them last up to 10 minutes would take ages to make. tony hart had hosted a few tv shows like vision on, smarthart and hartbeat. he was born in 1925 and died 2009. tony loved to draw and animate his ideas.
