Answers
Answer:
"In Flanders Fields" is a rondeau written by the Canadian poet, soldier, and physician John McCrae. McCrae wrote the poem in 1915 as a memorial to those who died in a World War I battle fought in a region of Belgium known as the Ypres Salient. McCrae himself treated many of the soldiers injured in that battle and was particularly moved by the death of a close friend, Alexis Helmer. The poem describes the tragedy of the soldiers' deaths, as well as the ongoing natural beauty that surrounds their graves. It also addresses the question of the next generation's responsibility to carry on the soldiers' battle.
Answer:
In his poem “In Flanders Field”, John McCrae clearly portrays his feelings about the death of his fellow soldier friend and how the death transited the struggle in his life with the peace of mind he attained. Written from the point of view of a dead person, “In Flanders field” was the most popular poem of the era. The poem if read properly is the exact description of the scene that a soldier faces while fighting for his own country, the poem also truly and beautifully describes the growth of red poppies on the graves of the soldiers.
