The Charge Of The Light Brigade

The Charge Of The Light Brigade Alfred Lord Tennyson LI: to understand the story behind this narrative poem Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!' he said: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade!' Was there a man dismay'd ? Not tho' the soldier knew Some one had blunder'd: Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd as they turn'd in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd: Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro' the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reel'd from the sabre-stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred.

Reflection

I thought this story was positive and telling the truth because it is very sad and it happened to Japan too and the story was interesting.

The labour herald said “This book deserve a very wide audience and should be compulsory reading.” I think people should read this book to show how the people were very hurt, that the people that they love have died and what nuclear war is like.

The guardian said” it is meant to break your heart to some purpose.” I think it’s very sad that Ducks and James have to die in the end and it’s very sad that the other people had died to.

Left Behind At The Park

Left Behind At The Park

Left behind at the park:

Two tiny holes  for   

two ants to quietly  climb in

Two medium deep holes

for two earthworms to slide down slowly.   

Left behind at the park:

Giant and small trees swishing with the wind,

flowers moving side to side

quietly and silently with the breeze.

Left behind at the park:

Giggling kids laughing loudly carrying

a basket full of easter eggs

for the easter egg hunt

quickly grabbing bunny ears

to wear on their heads.

Left behind at the park:

pitter patter as the rain is quickly coming down

and splashing loudly into the ground.
