In Dylan Thomas’s poem,
“Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night”, He is telling his father to try to
fight death. “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” When Dylan Thomas
wrote, “dying of the light”, he was referring to death. He also writes, “Do not
go gentle into that good night,” This means that he is telling readers to deny
death, and don’t go without a without a fight. He uses imagery to paint a
picture in the reader’s head. <span>
In Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem, “The Charge of The Light
Brigade”, He is telling a story to the readers. He is telling how the Light
Brigade went into war. In the poem, he says, “Shattered and sundered. They rode
back, but not, not the six hundred.” He is saying that men died in the war, and
because of that, there are less than six hundred. The readers have a sense of
anxiousness as Alfred, Lord Tennyson puts the battle into war. While Dylan
Thomas’s poem, it is all about fighting death. In Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem,
it is somewhat accepting death. </span>
