Comparing  

       The similarities between “The Charge Of The Light Brigade” and “The Battle of Blenheim” are striking. Here are some of the similarities that I found in the poem. The first similarity that I found was that the two poems both use meter and tone to convey the main idea in the poems. Another one I found was two poems also explain the horrors of the two battles. In stanza nine-line three and four Kasper explains the “shocking sight” of the battlefield with thousands of bodies rotting in the sun. “For many thousand bodies here/Lay rotting in the sun;” In “The Charge Of The Light Brigade” stanza five-line one to six explains that the cannons were firing everywhere and everyone firing loud blasts. Many gunshots were made, and many heroes died. “Cannon to right of them, /Cannon to the left of them, /Cannon behind them/Volleyed and thundered;/Stormed at with shot and shell, /While horse and hero fell. /They that had fought so well/Came through the jaws of Death, /Back from the mouth of hell,”.

 

Contrasting  

          The two poems “The Charge Of The Light Brigade” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson and “The Battle of Blenheim” by Robert Southey although they have some similarities they also have some things that make them different. One of the differences that I found in the two poems is that the reader has two very different views of the two poems. In “The Charge Of The Light Brigade” the reader see everything like they are in a battle with the soldiers. But in “The Battle of Blenheim” the reader views part the poem as Kasper is telling them a story. Another difference between the two poems is the settings at the beginning of the poems. In stanza one line one to four, it is a summer evening Kasper just finished his work and is sitting in the sun. “It was a summer evening, /Old Kaspar’s work was done, /And he before/his cottage door/Was sitting in the sun,” But in “The Charge Of The Light Brigade” stanza one lines one to six the six hundred are riding to “the valley of Death”’ “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.”
