War Poetry Reflections: The Charge of the Light Brigade and Exposure
In this reflective analysis, the heroic portrayal of soldiers in Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and the haunting realities of war depicted in Wilfred Owen's "Exposure" are explored. Through vivid imagery and metaphorical language, these poems capture the courage, sacrifice, and suffering experienced by soldiers during wartime. The context of the poets' lives adds depth to the understanding of their works, shedding light on the stark contrast between the noble ideals of war and the harsh realities faced by those on the front lines.

The Charge of The Light Brigade fill the gaps mission to other as horse die option Cannons Valley die following told back into must they death have orders are prepared no do Tennyson in his Crimean War poem The Charge of the Light Brigade presents the death of the men as heroic, brave and noble. The men are charging on horse back towards The Valley of Death which has biblical allusions as if they are on a holy mission, prepared to die and have no other option. The metaphor creates the effect that they will die because they are going into a valley, which is an area that is surrounded by Cannons . They are following orders as the pronoun he said implies that they must do as they are told. Tennyson, who was poet laureate, wrote the poem after seeing a newspaper report to honour the bravery of the men who fought so bravely, with little chance of survival.
The Charge of the Light Brigade In your own words, explain what you think the poem is about.
Context: Exposure Born in 1893. Enlisted in the army in 1915. He was inspired to enlist after visiting the wounded in hospital. Owen was injured and sent home in 1917. November 4th, 1918: Owen was killed by machine gun fire. In 1918 he returned to the front line. Wilfred Owen His parents received news of his death the same day that the bells rung out to celebrate the end of the war: November 11th. Owen was 25 when he died.

Introductions - Comparison Structure The Charge of the Light Brigade compared to Exposure Compare how the soldiers are presented? Introduction: Author name 1 and poem 1 name and key idea, connective, author name 2 and poem 2 name and key difference or similarity. Three similarities or differences that you will explore (1), (2), (3). Tennyson s The Charge of the Light Brigade applauds and celebrates the soldiers experience, while Owen s Exposure depicts a different more realistic experience of what war was like. Both poems discuss what the soldiers did in the war; Tennyson omits what the soldiers felt, while Owen includes this; finally, both discuss death.

The Charge of the Light Brigade compared to Exposure Compare how the soldiers are presented? We will work through what the comparison writing process is: Both Tennyson and Owen discuss what the soldiers did in the war. Tennyson explores the heroic charge made in the Crimean War by the British cavalry Forward the Light Brigade and Honour the Light Brigade with the verb and noun before the repetition of their battalion name indicating that they did exactly what they were told, should be remembered and they didn t flinch or back down from their duty; in spite of the terrible trap they were entering. Meanwhile, Owen also discusses what the men did as a dreadful feat of endurance where men Wearied we keep awake because the night is silent with the ellipsis and connective offering an indication that the men are tense, worried and sleepless, as they might be waiting for the fighting to commence again. Owen was in a soldier in the war so knew the reality, while Tennyson was removed from the war and read about it in the papers which might explain their very different perspectives on what the soldiers did.
The Charge of the Light Brigade compared to Exposure Compare how the soldiers are presented? My thinking explained: Focus on the comparison element exploring both poems. Use the author s name and write about them systematically in the same order as your introduction as this keeps it tightly structured. Embed context as you are analysing as much as possible. Say what the poet did and how the poet did this. This means explaining what you think the first poet is telling you in the evidence that you have selected. Then, include the language or structural terminology. Focus on explaining why your chosen evidence means this and what effect it might have on the reader if you can. Always try to give a reason using a connective (because/due to or to show/to tell us etc). Then, use a comparison connective or a sentence start that explains whether you are going to say what is similar or what is different in both poems. Repeat the poet s name for poem 2 to signpost to the reader which poem you are writing about and then say what that poem did and how using evidence and embedding the language or structure terminology in the evidence you have selected. Now explain what the evidence from poem 2 means and why and what effect it has and why. Support what you have said at the end with a context point or a writer s intentions point to summarise what you have said and why you have said it. As you get used to the comparison structure you will be able to start exploring more examples from both poems. This structure is a concurrent one where you do: Both poems Poem 1 Use comparison connectives Poem 2 Summarise with context or writer s intentions As you get more confident with comparing you can embed multi-quotations.
What does this look like in a framework that you can practice with? Both (Poet 1) and (Poet 2) present (KEY IDEA ABOUT BOTH POEMS). In (POET NAME) (POEM NAME) we see (EVIDENCE) with the (terminology) indicating (MEANING) to suggest (TRIPLET OF ANALYSIS). This is shown similarly/differently in (POET 2) (POEM 2) with (KEY SIMILARITY OR DIFFERENCE) The (EVIDENCE) presented through (terminology) suggests (MEANING) because (triplet of analysis). Perhaps, this shows (POET 1) felt (CONTEXT/INTENT), while (POET 2) felt similarly/differently because (REASON FOR THE DIFFERENCE LINKING TO CONTEXT/INTENT).

Bayonet Charge compared to Exposure: How are the soldiers experiences compared? Did you have similar answers? Both Hughes and Owen present harrowing experiences soldiers live through. In Hughes Bayonet Charge we see Suddenly Stumbling and Sweating with the adverb and verbs indicating how the soldier feels to suggest he is shocked, hesitant and scared about finding himself in the nightmarish experience of running towards the enemy with just a bayonet for protection. This is shown differently in Owen s Exposure with fear being shown but in a way that is reinforced through inaction rather than Hughes use of action. The Worried by silence, sentries whisper, curious, nervous presented through the triplet of quiet behaviour and the use of verbs suggests the fear that these soldiers feel is a nagging one because nothing is happening and the anticipation is getting to them. Perhaps, this shows Hughes felt it was important to use the first person perspective of a soldier during action to enforce the horrific reality of trench warfare, while Owen, a soldier himself felt differently because the silence and inaction and terrible weather conditions seem to be what he feels are the horror of war, unlike Hughes very vivid action snapshot.

Bayonet Charge compared to Remains: Compare what you think the soldiers feelings are? Using the framework to develop the paragraph: fill in the blanks with what you think works (I will mark this) In Hughes Bayonet Charge and Armitage s Remains there are definite hints of a stress reaction from the soldiers towards what they are experiencing. This is shown in Hughes poem by the repetition of sweat and Sweating to show the soldier is having a physical reaction to being in the middle of the action. While in Armitage s poem, the soldier experiences PTSD with the metaphor And the drink and the drugs won t flush him out- showing that no matter what he tries to do to forget the experience of killing a man, he can t. Both poets show feelings of stress as a result of war and neither poet has been a soldier themselves, therefore their poems could be showing empathy for the situation many soldiers experience. Hughes was inspired by stories told in his family, while Armitage is drawing on his experiences of interviewing soldiers for the Not Dead series and what happened to them in the Gulf war conflicts.
Experiences of Soldiers TCOTLB Exposure Bayonet Charge Remains Live through the war - fighting, fear and experiencing other people s death. Mid action charge Inaction - nothing is happening just silence Mid action charge Not currently a war - peace- keeping - question the relevance of the killing Bravery/heroism - certain death Numb Fear Guilt Death - Suicide Mission Rather be shot at than experience the weather Realisation that it is too easy to die - life ends quickly Physical death is shown in a colloquial way Dehumanised by the weather - clean up the dead like they are irrelevant Dead man is cleaned up like rubbish - dehumanised Have no survival instinct - they follow orders blindly Lose survival instinct and just want the waiting to be over Fight/flight/freeze instinct takes control PTSD experienced - horror does not go away Traumatic events experienced by all soldiers

Is this presented as a positive or negative (connotations) experience? Why? 9. Explain what the mother (speaker) might mean when she says in the past tense, first person using a metaphor After you d gone I went into your bedroom, released a songbird from its cage ? 10. The mother (speaker) is has been led by a symbolic dove to the noun churchyard walls , listing without a winter coat or reinforcements of scarf, gloves . What does this suggest about her emotional state at this moment and why? 11. Is there any sense of hope by the speaker in the final stanza? Why/ why not? 12. What imagery do you have of the mother (speaker) from the line, with the verb I listened, hoping to hear your playground voice catching on the wind creating a ___________ (you decide) tone? 13.

Example - High Level Colour Coded Feedback Both Weir and Tennyson reflect on different perspectives of conflict and how this affects the people involved, whether that is mothers or soldiers. In Weir s Poppies we are shown tactile imagery continuously throughout the poem to reinforce how this makes her feel close to her son I pinned one onto your lapel and I rounded up as many both use verbs and the first person pronoun I to remind us that the mother is desperate to touch her son in a loving, caring and comforting manner, as if this might be the last time that she sees him. At this point in the poem, stanza 1 and 2 the mother is lost in a memory of before her son went away, perhaps to school or to the war. The ambiguity in the language makes it seem as if she values these memories and wants to cling onto them and reinforces the idea that the mother in the poem could be any mother over time who has lost a child, either in conflict as the time setting of the poem around Armistice Sunday suggests or at any other time. Meanwhile, this maternal perspective is not shown in The Charge of the Light Brigade, instead the soldiers are depicted as brave and honourable and almost as if they should die for their country with us remembering their sacrifice but from an impersonal and removed viewpoint. The rhyme scheme mimicking the repetitive sound of the horse hooves beating as they charged into certain death reinforces this impersonal idea. As well as this, the imperative verb in Forward the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns he said makes it sound like the soldiers were very used to following orders, doing what they were told and expected to do this without questioning or reasoning why they were there. This makes the poems perspective seem much more distant as the pronoun he said is an unknown commander or officer in charge making it seem very matter of fact and commonplace that the six hundred should ride into battle and possibly not make it out again. Weir was imagining herself in the situation of the famous war poet, Wilfred Owen's mother and other mothers who have lost their children in conflict and this makes her viewpoint personal, nostalgic and poignant, while Tennyson read a newspaper report and as poet laureate wrote a poem from the perspective of honouring the soldiers who had fought and died so bravely, therefore the impersonal perspective seems reasonable given that he was trying to remind the country to remember their sacrifices. This is unlike Weir who is empathising with mothers in conflict and how they also suffer from loss.

The story of the poem The Charge of the Light Brigade tells the story of the 600 men who charged into the enemy and their untimely deaths. Bayonet Charge is about a soldier s experience of charging towards the enemy and the fear he experiences. Exposure demonstrates how men felt during the war as a result of the interminable waiting. Remains tells the reader about the PTSD experienced after shooting a looter in the Iraq war. Poppies discusses a mother s feelings over the loss of a son, in an ambiguous way. War Photographer explores the disconnect between what the photographer experiences and what people at home see.

How do you approach a comparison essay? Things that you could explain: Explain how to plan How to write an introduction How many ideas do you want to cover What should your main paragraphs include? What kind of conjunctions/comparison connectives can you use to ensure you are comparing What is context and why is it important? How long should you be writing for? What does your conclusion need to cover?
How do you approach a comparison essay? My explanation: To plan - I would look at the question first and decide which poem I want to compare from memory, thinking about the key focus e.g conflict etc. Then, I would annotate the poem quickly selecting key quotations that i could use (just underlining and writing next to them the language). Then, from memory I would thought splurge the ideas about the comparison poem and the context for both onto the paper. I d only spend 5 minutes doing this. Next, I would write my introduction - poems/poets and how the key focus is explored and a sentence with three ideas to compare and contrast the poems. Using the first idea in my introduction I would explain what - how - why the first poem shows the key focus and then use a comparison to link it similarly or differently to the 2nd poem. I d include evidence/language and structure focus, meaning, effect, connotations of words and the writers intentions as I am writing about both poems. I d also try to cover the context in both poems and how the writer uses this to give a message to the reader. Then, I would repeat this for idea 2 and idea 3 in the poems. Overall, I d want to cover as many pieces of evidence as possible and every time I use a piece of evidence I would state what the language is doing (terminology evidence ) as this shows my understanding of how the writer is expressing their ideas. Connectives can be: However, also, as well as this, conversely, similarly, differently, contrastingly, moreover, likewise, in the same way Context is my understanding of what was happening in the world at the time or the importance of why the poet wrote the poem or the way that the poet wanted to present a message about the topic of the poem. I should be writing for 55 minutes in total with 5 minutes for planning. My conclusion is a summary of the three ideas and my opinion about the poem and the message. It can be short and simple - 1 - 2 sentences and I don t need evidence from the poem. I also don t need to add anything new as I have already analysed my understanding of both the poems. Explain how to plan How to write an introduction How many ideas do you want to cover What should your main paragraphs include? What kind of conjunctions/ comparison connectives can you use to ensure you are comparing What is context and why is it important? How long should you be writing for? What does your conclusion need to cover?
