CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE AND BAYONET CHARGE Flashcards
what does the beginning of the charge of the light brigade show
repition of half a league shows the movement of the men on horseback riding along bravely and confidently into battle
beginning of bayonet charge
SUDDENLY - instant sense of urgency suggesting the panicked state of soldiers
how does charge of the light brigade show heroism
charge for the guns - they are moving towards an area where they are most likely going to get killed by describing it using the metaphor ‘valley of death’
how does bayoney charge show heroism and effort
stumbling across a field and lugged a rifle numb as a shattered arm - these two quotes create the impression of effort and struggle showing their heroism and that they are willing to do anything in order to beat their opponent
how is mental fear presented in bayonet charge
the patriotic tear that brimmed his eye - shows the change of perspective of the soldiers as they no longer now care about honour and patriotism when their lives are on the line
mental fear in charge of light brigade
ride the six hundred - reminder to show how many people died in the war with honour and bravery
why is ride the six hundred repeated
to show anger and it keeps emphasises the amount of killings. it can also express tennysons anger of what happened during the war in this poem
