![]() If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope & Struggle is divided into sections dealing with “unions and labor,” “peace,” “civil rights,” and “hope.” Highlights include the original 1956 versions of “If I Had a Hammer” and “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” as well as a previously unreleased take of “Turn! Turn! Turn!” Besides his own compositions, Seeger applies his ringing tenor and trademark banjo and guitar strums to everything from timeless organizing ballads like “Which Side Are You On” and “Solidarity Forever” to brooding antiwar tunes like “Crow on the Cradle” and inspiring anthems like “Study War No More.” Of special note are “We’ll All Be A-Doubling” and “Arrange and Rearrange,” a pair of tracks recorded by Seeger with family and friends in 1998. ![]() Distilled from hundreds of recordings made for Folkway Records in the late '50s and early ‘60s, this 24-track album emphasizes Pete Seeger’s role as an agent for social change. ![]() ![]() Metaphors as a Tool for Conveying TruthĪnother way in which Owen uses metaphors in his poetry is to convey uncomfortable truths about war that may be difficult for readers to confront. These metaphors paint a vivid picture of the devastating impact that war has on young soldiers and their loved ones. Similarly, in “Anthem for Doomed Youth”, Owen uses metaphors to evoke a sense of sadness and loss, describing soldiers as “cattle” and “pallor of girls’ brows shall be their pall”. This powerful image not only conveys the physical brutality of war, but also the emotional impact that such violence can have on those who witness it. For example, in his poem “Dulce et Decorum Est”, Owen describes the death of a fellow soldier as “a blood smear down his leg”. One of the key ways in which Owen uses metaphors in his poetry is to convey the intense emotions experienced by soldiers and those affected by war.
