SCREAM.

• The play, Journeys end, was written by Sheriff to celerbrate the endurance of the men who fought in WW1, who would suffer extreme conditions and expirience almost certain death. Sheriff writes "the men were simple and unquestioning, they fought at it was the right and proper thing to do." The men were accepting of the pains they suffered and fought without complaint.
• Supporting the war effort, many poets and writers, such as Jesse Pope, published propoganda, in hopes of convincing young men to enlist. However, the way they presented the war was far from the reality: similarly to the title of Pope's poem, the war was presented as a game, rather than the grotesque suffering endured daily by the men.
• Public schools also pushed this reteric, saying "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori"- it is sweet and right to die for your country. We can see in Sheriff's characters the effects of this, such as the naive and boyish character of Raleigh, who is used to contrast with the more expirienced characters, Osborne and Stanhope.
