The poem with a happy tone. The speaker describes the life of a boy who is experiencing the horrors of the war:
"I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark As the poem progresses,"
The author then moves to a melancholy tone to describe the depression of this boy. His life during the war breaks him and he ends up c0mmitting su|cide in order to be free:
"In winter trenches,
cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain."
The author ends the poem mocking the British people, who he believes will never understand the horrible realities of war as they cheer the returning soldiers:
"You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go."

Sassoon begins the poem with a happy tone. The speaker describes the life of a good-natured, innocent boy who is far from the horrors of the war:
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark
As the poem progresses, Sassoon shifts to a melancholy tone to describe the increasing depression of this once-joyful and lively boy. His miserable life in wartime breaks his spirit and pushes him to commit suicide in order to free himself from the suffering and hardship:
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
Sassoon ends the poem with a bitter and sarcastic tone that mocks British civilians, who he believes will never understand the horrible realities of war as they cheer the returning soldiers:
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Congratulations to Bob Dylan, the surprise winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature. This is easily the most controversial award since they gave it to the guy who wrote Lord of the Flies, which was controversial only because it came next after the immensely popular 1982 prize for Gabriel García Márquez. Nobody can read the minds of the Nobel committee – it’s not that kind of award. You can’t argue that Dylan jumped the line in front of more deserving candidates because there’s no internal logic to the process. Like most literary Nobels, except much more so, it comes out of the blue, giving Dylan fans a whole new glorious enigma to battle over. So settle in. This argument will take us years. If you’re looking to get silly, you better go back t0 where you came from.
