Roger McGough's strange comparison with Gareth Owen Roger McGough's poet "Nooligan" and Gareth Owen's "Street Boy" both paint Hooligans. They use very different words in poetry to express a specific malformed image. There are similarities between the two poems, the most obvious of which is their theme, but there are subtle differences between verses. First of all, the two poems consist of four sections. In "Nooligan", all four quarters are five elements, "Street Boy", four quarters are all four.
The two poems studied are Dulce et Decorum est written by Wilfred Owen, a verse for the First World War. Icarus Allsorts by Roger McGough focuses on nuclear war written about 50 years later from Dulce et Decorum est. At the peak of the Cold War predicted the World War III. A serious view of the devastating situation of the western front is drawn by a former soldier in a very representative way and he experienced death everywhere. Icarus Allsort is an attack on Western countries, the spread of the world's population, and the existence of nuclear warfare. Ironically, this poem explains the devastating effects that can be caused by small but important mistakes. Dulce et Decorum obviously protests the fear against the words of World War I, not explicitly to prewar poets
