By using metaphors, Tennyson emphasizes the odds of winning, the Light Brigades are going to face.
His poems, although they expressed the same views as Sassoon’s did, they did so in a quite different
way. The tone is very positive toward men joining up for the war. Congrats to Jack from 9M2 and
Holly from 9Y - outstanding work. He also wants friends and family to think that they should be
proud to know someone who died in the war. He shows the stupidity by repeating “Valley of death”,
because the soldiers are riding to death and Tennyson is commenting on the lack of questioning to an
irrational command. Using the word “lame” associates them to animals, as that is a word usually
used to describe them, not people. Tennyson rhymes again in the third stanza only a different style.
The rhythm of the poem increases at this stage because the action has started. Tennyson’s repetition o
the attack again emphasizes the loss of men and their pride. He was killed November 4 th 1918, one
week before the armistice was signed. Two of the most famous of these poets are Wilfred Owen and

lines starting “ Cannon to the right of them” which has a beating, galloping rhythm imitating the
galloping motions of the British soldiers on their horses charging toward the Russian guns. They are
all effective in many different ways many emotive as there was great feeling of high emotions
running for or against the war. Walt Whitman was a war enthusiast when the American civil war
broke out in 1861, his first war poems reflect the general excitement about the conflict in the North
American cities. Shelley knows of the beauty of the bird this is a cheerful, optimistic attitude towards
the theme of the poem. When the soldiers attack, Tennyson uses the word “Sabring”, this word is
also onomatopoeic and it has a powerful effect. Tennyson’s poem tries to display the heroes of war
and their undying effort and bravery in the face of danger. The title in this poem is meant to be
sarcastic showing that not every man involved in the war was a hero and died a hero’s death. There is
also use of reference to well-known sights like 'bells' and 'prayers' to show explicitly that this is not
happening that far from home. Additional materials, such as the best quotations, synonyms and word
definitions to make your writing easier are also offered here. The next line tells the reader that the
Light Brigade are the ones who are going to be defeated. In verses 1-3 the charge itself is being
described and there are striking images of the outward curve of the attack and the movement of the
horses. He was an English language teacher at Berlitz School of languages Bordeaux France. His
poem is very biographical, telling his whole life of sorrow and wishes and sharing his pain in the first
person. Pete has died while the letter was making its way to the family. There is an actual reference
to the soldiers being slain like 'cattle' in the first stanza.
Owen also uses many metaphors in his poems such as “His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin”
this description describes to the audience how a victim of a gas attack looks when he is close to
death, terrible, like the devil, but more ugly and distraught. The bird is happiness and with that there
is associated summer and song. Karl Swindlehurst English Coursework Letter Home From Trenches.

Not the right resource. At the age of 12 young Tennyson wrote a 6,000-line epic. Also the idea that
death may be painful but a soldiers death will be courageous and lead straight to heaven like a saint,
'.the worst friend and enemy is but Death.' There is also a great feeling that a soldier's life has been
building up to death and death would be the climax of his life and that dieing for your country

father, the Reverend George Clayton Tennyson, was the rector of a Somersby parish. I have chosen
these poems to show that there were two different viewpoints on the war and that different people
had different opinions about it. Bravery because no soldier turned back and rode away and no one
questioned the command, “Charge for the guns”. They are both talking about injuries you can get
from the war and using this to convince people not to join up. Sassoon calls the officer “Brother
officer” to show comradeship between soldiers. Poems were also written for differing reasons such
as to convince and in some cases bully young men into joining the army, these were often called
recruitment or propaganda poems. It also depicts war as a good and exciting event where as normal
life is show as being mundane and repetitive. Again the word “Flashed” is onomatopoeic so you can

resembles a funeral. Walt Whitman was a war enthusiast when the American civil war broke out in
1861, his first war poems reflect the general excitement about the conflict in the North American
cities. Fall In as the title suggests is a recruitment poem and is written using a lot of colloquial
language to relate to the working class young men it was aimed at. His exit via wine, not to get
drunk but he sees it as his entrance to the mental state he desires so that he can write and imagine as
he wishes to and using it as an inspiration. Over 400 men died or were wounded because of a
blunder in the ranks.
Binyon has personified England as a mother to create an image of affection. They both persuade
someone to fight and that it is the best thing, and that England with think them of a hero by fighting
in the war. The poem prompts the audience to think about how they would feel in the future if they
did not join the war “and when your neighbours talk of the fight will you slink away.” The poem
portrays a life where the people who know you are embarrassed to be around you and even your

for the soldiers. They are tired and exhausted with inferior clothing which is ragged and worn. The
second verse is about the death and respect for soldiers. Again the word “Flashed” is onomatopoeic
so you can hear the soldiers unsheathing. He is trying to portray how brave the soldiers were because
even though they knew that they were riding to their own death they did it anyway without
hesitation. Tennyson’s poem tries to display the heroes of war and their undying effort and bravery in
the face of danger. This would have persuaded men to join up as it showed the battle and bloodshed
in a glorious light, and that if the men joined they would be worthy of a place in history. The poem
describes the charge that the light brigade made at Balaclava against Russian forces. The poet also
uses a succession of ghastly adjectives when describing the conditions in the trenches as 'muddy
brown monotony'. Who's For the Game? By Jessie Pope is a recruitment poem, aimed at young men,
glamorising war to a degree that it classifies it as a big game. However Tennyson chooses to show
the glamour, honour, the obvious stupidity of war along with showing us how one mans blunder can
cause so much suffering and also the inevitable chaos and bloodshed of war. The soldiers were
willing to sacrifice themselves for their country. Also the two mothers was written by a woman and
