Answer: Pessimistic and hopeful
Step-by-step explanation:
"The Lost Generation" both a pessimistic and hopeful poem about a generation that has lost sight of what is really important in life as it progresses technologically. When read from top to bottom, the poem is read from the viewpoint of a young man who has a selfish and defeated outlook on life, emphasizing work above family and openly asserting that destroying nature would become the norm, further stating that he, like his classmates, does not care about the Earth. The poem as a whole is rather negative and written in a more narrative style.
