You
repation

fordowding their deaths
creates a sense of fear for "the noble six hundred"
fordowing imgergy
ghoffic imgery
The six hundred :curly_loop:
Repation (7 times)
saying that
600
people died
shows how their just seen as a number and not the individual
a story is told in a thrid person persective
thrid person narrtive
Change was the command of their commander
The light brigade
People who ride on horseback.
Don’t carry heavy equipment
They’re able to move with speed
Chage shows that they can travel with fast movement
This contrasts exposure where they died to the their exposure to the elements
“Cannon to the left Cannon to the right Cannon to the fount” “Cannon to the left Cannon to the right Cannon to the back”
Repation
They are surrounded by the soldiers on all sides
Chance of survival, very, very, very low
Not six hundred
Shows how every died
Like lambs to the slaughter
They had no chance, no mention of vivotry
All dead
The disastrous battle between britain & the rushens
Known as the crimeun war
This was a misunderstanding form the captain
Which mean the light brigade advanced into a valley surrounded by their many many emerys
Despite knowing there boom was soon they still fount for their country
This was a protracted saofise
The captain was Lord Raglan
Alfred lord tennyson
The charge of the light brigade was a true story
He wrote about the events after he caught wind of the story
He was drinking a cup of tea, reading the newspaper & reading about what happened.
He found the story interesting
He wanted to celebrate the bravery of the six hudren
Was the greatest poet of the victorian era
“Half a league” “Half a league” “Half a league onward”
Repation
All staves start with reparation
Sounds like the change of the houses “into the valley of death”
Valley of death
This shows how there going to die
dark
melconic
Rode the six hundred
The soldiers are just a number
name of the group
Was there a man Dismay’d?
This is a rhetorical questions
Saying is there anyone here with was sad about this
Theirs not to make a reply their not a reason why theirs but to do & die
This is anaphora
Definition- like repation, but when the first letters of a few sentences are the same
This shows their duty to fight
What this is saying is- they didn’t aggie against the command, they didn’t question why they were going to fight the wrong enemy, they did their command, tho they knew they would not make it out of the fight
“Cannon to the left Cannon to the right Cannon to the fount” “Cannon to the left Cannon to the right Cannon to the back”
shows the hopeless nature of the battle
Reaptions
Staze 2/5
They are completely surrounded
Thye feel overweld do to this fealt
anafora
All the world wonder
This could be how the world wonder of their bravery
This was written about the battle he wanted this to be read by the armchair patriots.
When can their glory fade?
Shows how they are, yes, dead
Rhetorical question
O can wild charge they made!
Explanatory sentence
This makes it sound more dramatic
Honour the charge they made! Honour the light brigade, noble six hundred!
They honor their bravery
Explaty sentence
Six hundred has been repeated a lot
This is why the poet write this poem
There celebrating their bravery
their are 6 stazas
1 and 2 the men are changing
3 and 4 are the retreat
5 and 6 where they fall
6 stazas for the 600 who died
the poem dosen't rythme
shows the seroius of the choas
their is choas around you
thieir are six stazas
a staza for every hundredn
no regular rythm or line leagth
to show how war is unpickdictable
they feel overwelmed
prelube
William wordsworth was a romantic poet like the poet of ozymandia
Focuses on the importance of emotional experiences
a desire everything division between gender race or class
Wordsworth was especially interested in the idea of growth & maturity
There a contention between nature & human emotion
Human identity & character is shaped by sensor expatence
The storm highlights human emotion
Nature is more powerful than man
The storm humbles him
His a romantic poet
He had a troubled relationship with his family
He had a bad childhood
This poem is thought as a autobiography
“Led by her” his personifying the boat naming the boat with the pronoun her
He did not intend to steal but the boats buttie prostate him to steal her
trying to shift the blame to the boat
“I unlosed her chain” personification
His very confident
“It was an act stealth” shows that his stealing her (the boat) stealth means hidden, he understands that this is wrong, however his doing it anyway
Highlights his willingness to steal
“Troubled pleasure”
he knows this is wrong, but goes on, his showing regret
“Leaving behind her” personification
“Idly in the moon” imagery
Fear as he appears the huge mountain he is in awe of its size.
A sense of fear takes over him
starts to get scared
this is a tramasising event
Her
personication
No no no reparations
relations so much that he doesn't know
Forced to reflect every he went threw
Not just a pretty image
Their is tons of beautiful langue
Glittering
Melted
Sparkling
Went having the water like a swanwhen,
Within the quote “I unloose her chian” he personifies the boat he is stealing. This poem is commonly considered an autobiographical poem, the poet of prelude had a tough childhood, commonly when someone has a tough childhood for them to personify objects as a coping mechanism.
In the quote “the horizon’s utmost bounty” the noun bounty is commonly used as a reward, a criminal has a bounty for their arrest, this links to how he steals his “little boat”; with this idea, his has no fear, much like the child he is, his still considering this as a grand adventure getting rewarded for his crime.
In the quote “a trouble to my dream” this creates empty for this character, nature, yes have humbled him, however his change comes as a trauma, that he at his highest moments was put back into place by nature’s wrath.
Within the quotation “the silent water stole me away” this is the water waves pulling him away, it’s stealing him much in the same way he stole the boat, a person (the protagonist) stole an object (the boat), now an object (the ocean) is stealing him. Slicent water also links to having needed stealth to steal the boat.
“An act of stealth” in this quote, if he didn’t know that taking the boat was a crime, he would have no need to stealth, stealth shows how even though he knows it’s wrong continues his wrongful deed.
"led by her"
as if his trying to pass the blame
peronfing the boat
trying to make a escusrse beacuse he knowns what his doing is wrong.
first person narration
as a child his likey to make things seem lager
seem scary
might not be a reliable narrator

The weather can be in war nature therefore is the energy by the winter of 1917the shoulder suffered extreme cold weather which made the misery of war eyes winter. Willon by willow own he wrote the poem during the war by realities of war because of his first hand spire what the armchair partitions. His fighting against the armchair parents they suffered both phicla & metal thorma, including ptsd. The last line of every stanza was repeated, to mincic the slicne this is also an anticlimax.
bayonet change
a bayonet is the knife at the end of a gun, which sounds like a childs idea but whatever
Focus on a single soldier's experience of a change toward enemy lines.
It describes the thought & actions as he tries to stay alive.
The soldiers emotions & motivation is fear which has replaced patriotic ideals
The poet
His father fought in ww1, also known as the great war back then before ww2
The poem is set during the great war when his father served & survived
The themes of the countryside & human history are key ideas within his writing
