Spender v/s Auden

Both authors wrote poems concerning political and historical topics. In the poem called September 1, 1939 written by W.H.Auden, there are many important themes as world war II, patriotism and politicism. It shows a strong feeling of patriotism which is reflected on a flag always clean and up no matter what. However, it also mention different issues as corruption and also some things and persons that makes a country get dirty. On the other hand, the poem called In no man´s land, written by Stephen Spender, shows a land that it is able to change, able to go beyond and let behind past problems and issues. Also I think that the tittle is very important because it implies that people are fighting against something unknown, something that its not even their business because it belongs to no one.

I think that both authors want to show us the importance of knowing and reflect about the historical events that have happened in our coutry and what join us as citizens. Also not forgetting about important events that happened in the past in order to not commit the same mistakes. The authors want to make us conscious of what is our position as citizens, trying to change the bad things and letting the evil far away fromour dreams as a person, members of a society.
