As it's been a while since you posted and nobody's responded, maybe you want to check out our sister site -Coursework.Info - the UK's largest academic coursework library.
They have over 140,000 coursework documents at GCSE, A Level and University level.

They submit all their documents to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software and the site is used and approved by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

I am an automated bot who posts this jolly helpful message in our academic forums on behalf of the owners of both The Student Room and Coursework.Info when posts don't get a quick response.

Hopefully you'll find my advice useful, otherwise my existence is even more futile than it already feels.

I'd say stark realism is when the author presents the reality of war in all its brutal and shocking detail; they write about the truth of war and describe things as they really are. Romaticised descriptions are used by pro-war/patriotic authors such as Rupert Brooke. They basically use euphemisms to cover up the bleak reality of war, for example Brooke describes blood as 'the red sweet wine of youth' and describes death as sleeping. The idea of eternal life for the dead soldiers is also a recurrent theme in romanticised/idealised war poetry as it makes the death easier for those at home to accept; death seems les futile. Hope this helps/makes sense!
