Outline For War Is Kind By Stephen Crane
War is Kind: Stephen Crane I. In the introduction the poem opens up with the speaker mentioning Maiden in this poem simply refers to a girl A. The man tells the girl not to cry because war is kind. Even though this is to sound ironic the phrase really means the opposite of what the character is trying to tell the girl. B. The maiden had been crying for her dead lover who had thrown his hands towards the sky, in which a horse appears to get scared and leaves the man alone on his own. C. Based on my understanding maybe the guy had gotten shot and that’s the reason why the horse ran away. D. From that point forward the man continues to ask Maiden no to cry over her lover's death. II. Then the man sets up a specific scene …show more content…
For example, the drums are set to place an imagine in the readers for the reason that the whole scene changes to be more drastic. B. In this stanza the author begins to show action in war, this is how he will explain to maiden on how war is kind in its way. C. The soldiers appear to be ready for anything in which is war and battle against another group. D. The narrator then emphasizes the fact that these men were to fight and die for the reason that they went ahead to go to war. E. From there glory is mentioned for the reason that the soldiers believe that glory would be given to them once they went out and fight. F. There is then the fact that God is good for those men who go ahead and battle one another. “Kingdom” is meant as a commentary where many people have been buried. III. Again the narrator continues with repetition “ Do not weep” here the girl is addressed as a babe and not as Maiden as in the beginning. A. The speaker then is talking about the dad of the girl in which he refers as babe above. B. He tells the girl not to cry because her dad is dying in the yellow trenches. C. Yellow symbolism to represent sickness and dirtiness in which the soldiers are in at the

    Henry Reed and Stephen Crane both have very different writing styles. Reed's style in "Naming of Parts" is built upon juxtaposition. Guns and gardens, soldiers and bees: the poem relates the unrelated in order to draw a clear line between the horrors of war and the fruits of nature. However, the poem goes further than just contrasting opposites. The structure and language of the poem combine to show how one should become the other in hopes that the harmonious image of this Eden transforms the unnatural feat of war. His overall structure also serves to make nature better. Each stanza is split between the dry, unimaginative language of the first speaker, probably the drill sergeant, and the poetic language used by the second speaker to describe nature. In every stanza, the gentle and peaceful language of the second speaker is quite dominant over the monotone voice of the drill instructor. This shows that war disturbs the balance of nature. Stephen Crane, in "War is Kind," develops his style by using vivid imagery and irony. Through doing this, he leads the reader directly to his perspective of war. He feels war is a horrible way to solve problems and uses irony to tell us that war is blatantly stupid. Nothing good has ever come from it and nothing ever will. The American flag, "The unexplained glory, flies above them" to symbolize that the glory they were fighting for was not earned righteously, it was stolen by "these little men...born to drill and die."…
