My April Fool's Day Prank

My next April Fool's Day prank is going to be a prank that I play on my family! I am going to ask the police to come at my house just before 12 and make a serious statement saying they have seen me damage another vehicle and will have a big fine and I will ask them to say it in a serious way so that my family believe it...then I will tell them that they've been April fooled! After believing in it.

My April Fool's Day Prank

My next years April Fool's Day prank will be made on my mum. I will get a police officer "special constable" to collaborate and help me scare my mum. I am going to tell him to tell him to grab me from the collar and with an angry expression on his face take me home and tell my Mum I have been involved in a serious crime but he can't tell her what it is! Then I will tell the police that he should tell my Mum that he is going to take me to prison for 5 years minimum! Then he will put me in hand cuffs and put me in the car. Then after 5 minutes I will come back in and tell her it's all a joke!

Disabled vs Wherever You Are

'Disabled' is a World War 1 poem. It is giving us a negative perspective of war; the graphics were horrible.It was going against "who's for the game" which is a properganda poem.
It used dull and dark colours. 
It was telling us all the bad things about war. Nobody will return but this was the truth and you can not change that .
Another poem is called "Wherever you are." It gives us hope in our country and it's positive. It was written by women who's husband has gone to war. They knew they where going to return.

Disabled

In the poem 'Disabled' it is a poem written about World War 1, even though it is old it is known to this day for its impressive vocabulary. When this poem was written at the time, another poem at that time was written and it was called 'Who's for the Game.' Wilfred Owen wrote his poem called 'Disabled' to argue against the propaganda poem and show people the truth about the war.

Disabled vs The Blitz

'Disabled' and 'The Blitz' are very similar but 'Disabled is about World War 1 and 'The Blitz' is about World War 2. They didn't  have Blitz in World War 1 and we use the poems written at those times to get a good idea about the time period. 'Disabled' is a World War 1 poem about a man who goes to fight in the war but comes back with no arms or legs. At the end of the poem we find out that the man was under age. The World War 2 poem is about a street in Scotland and is gets bombed. It talks about the pets lying in the street bleeding to death and all of the homes flattened by the bombing.

Disabled vs Who's For The Game

One of these World War One poems called 'Who's for the Game' and was written to persuade people to go to war by lying and saying that you will go to war and come back perfectly fine with out being damaged at all. Whereas another World War One poem called 'Disabled' which was all about the truth and how hard it was to be living in the real trenches. It is a very graphic poem and paints a picture in your mind about how badly they lived and were treated.

Disabled vs Who's For The Game

The poem 'Disabled' is about soldiers who took part in the war. It was also about when the war ended the soldiers either come back with no arms or no legs. Young teenagers wanted to take part in the war so badly but they were too young,the average age to join the war was 19 years old. They thought that they were going to a holiday but when they got there it was like hell to them.

The poem 'Who's for the Game' was just persuading you to take part in the war and to fight for your country; the mood of the poem was very exciting as if these young men were going on a holiday from one country to another. But Jessie Pope mentions that you will come back just before Christmas and the minor injuries were just broken arm or broken leg.
