Answer:

Your answer should identify the poem as a lyric poem and include details similar to the following points:

The lyric poem follows a clear rhyme pattern. McCrae uses a regular rhyming style in "In Flanders Fields" to give the poem a musical tone: "Take up our quarrel with the foe! / To you from failing hands we throw"

The lyric poem expresses personal emotions in a very descriptive manner. In "In Flanders Fields," the narrator discusses his personal emotions about sacrificing his life in a war:

We are the dead; short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

"In Flanders Fields" and "Dulce et Decorum Est!" both use the same event but they reveal completely different views of World War 1. In the first mentioned story author shows his respect to those who was fighting for their country and future generations, persuading the reader to feel the same and to be ready to protect their motherland. Author of the second story describes all the frightening moments of war and convinces the readers that it if they had to stand on the front line it would be the worst experience in their life. So, In Flanders Fields" eulogize war while "Dulce et Decorum Est!" warrns against it.
