Comma splices are also another form of common grammatical errors. Comma splices are also called run-on sentences; two main clauses are joined together and attempt to create one single sentence.

This element of respectability is integral to Southern culture, especially after the Civil War as the South was struggling to retain its honor. It is no wonder, then, why William

called the “War to End All Wars.” Second Lieutenant Owen wrote a powerful French ballade, entitled “Dulce et Decorum Est,” which explains war truly experienced. His poem is filled with dread, death, and despair. This is obvious by Wilfred Owen’s use of verbs to depict the horrible encounters a soldier would face daily which resulted in being unfazed by death and, ultimately, the hopelessness caused by the war. Owen used a variety of dark descriptors to stress how awful of a place war truly is. Words such

Nature has always played an important role in literature, especially in poetry. Writers and poets have often used nature to describe their emotions and their thoughts about life, death, love and war. This is how numerous great poets dealt with the terror of the First World War, including Robert Graves, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. In Owen’s poems “the sympathetic connection between man and Nature is broken by the war, and the natural world is seen as complicit in the killing”. (Featherstone

That is what I think “lost”, which makes the reader construe what the character is saying (Abercrombie, 2015, p. 7).
