Overwhelmingly, the song's tone is critical of the Vietnam War and the actions committed by those within it, and it takes great care in repeating each of the horrors to reaffirm this critical position in the mind of listeners.]]> 2022-09-09 02:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289064984 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289067985 The purpose of the song is to emphasise the numbers of the current casualties in the war with the title "three-five-zero-zero". The graphic images are created through the lyrics like "ribbed open by metal explosion".

 ]]> 2022-09-09 02:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289071687 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289072516 The structure of the song consists of montaged words to create graphic images of experiences soldiers went through, such as "ripped open by metal explosions", "caught in barbed wire", etc.

The Verse's continue this dark horrific imagery by use of sentences such as "Two hundred and fifty-six Viet Cong captured" and "Mail order rifles shoot the muscles"

The, what I'm assuming is, chorus is repeated several times throughout the entirety of the song as if to emphasise on the  line of "Prisoners in Niggertown" and "Three-Five-Zero-Zero".]]> 2022-09-09 02:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289072516 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289073602 The song also focused on very blunt language which would have a deeper meaning and impact on the audience ]]> 2022-09-09 02:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289073602 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289078122 the song highlight the scale of injury and casualties during the Vietnam war through eh use of strong imagery such as "ripped open by metal explosion" and "shrapnel, throbbing meat"]]> 2022-09-09 02:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289078122 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289078975 highlights the the brutality that is experienced at wars and the extent of its impacts]]> 2022-09-09 02:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289078975 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289079359 The central themes of the song include violence as it has the idea of 'ripped open' by metal explosion from guns, bombs ect.
It also includes the Viet Cong and how many of their people were captured at the time, and how vicious the American troops were to the Vietnamese. ]]> 2022-09-09 02:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289079359 taysprouty https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289080074 the bluntness of the song really connects to the poem as the use of "Ripped open by a metal explosion" connects to the way Wilfred Owen expresses his concerns

A prime example of this comes in Dulce et Decorum est where, in the final stanza alone, Owen uses descriptions of "froth-corrupted lungs" that are "obscene" and "bitter", as well as "vile, incurable sores". 
Against lyrics detailing "bullet shocks", "throbbing meat", and being "ripped open", both authors are clearly comfortable with revealing the horrors of war.]]> 2022-09-09 02:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289081268 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289082160 It is more of a factual kind of perspective, because of the use of the numbers as evidence to show the harm being committed from bomb warfare]]> 2022-09-09 02:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289082160 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289083109 The song creates a protest scene against the Vietnam War and creates a satire against the soldiers and the media who is trying to control what is being seen by those at home (Seen especially in the lines "Two hundred and fifty six, Viet Cong Captured", which represents the satire and is presented as if they are trying to mimic soldiers who have captured the enemy, and the line "It's a dirty little war", which can be interpreted as a criticism and a form of protest).]]> 2022-09-09 02:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289083109 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289083336 dehumanising humans as they are dying emphasises how violent war and deaths were in the Vietnam War]]> 2022-09-09 02:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289083336 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289085255 this song explains the horrors experienced by soldiers during wartime]]> 2022-09-09 02:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289085255 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289093742 While there are connections to Wilfred Owen's poetry throughout this song, there are few similarities in who they are addressing, as Wilfred Owen's poetry doesn't address a protest scene surrounding the war. Instead he often targets individuals or higher ranked army officials with similar criticisms, especially in stanza six of 'Insensibility' when Owen calls those in the army who aren't on the front line "dullards whom no cannon stuns" and "Wretched and mean", which is similar to how the protestors in 3500 criticise the American army at war and those who are forcing them to be there.]]> 2022-09-09 02:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289093742 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289097119 The use of this Dark imagery in the structure reflects on the use of language in Wilfred Owens poem's. ]]> 2022-09-09 02:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289097119 https://padlet.com/craigfrost1/mejvowtf7e9549fh/wish/2289099827 It displays how the victims suffer or die in different ways, how the pain is endure while being captured.
