Answer 1

You create the conclusion ..

Today I will be comparing both the poet's views on the war that are, and how they convey this through their writing,with use of language, structure, devices and/or imagery. The Battle of Blenheim and The Charge of the Light Brigade both question the point of war and show the horror of battle. One does it through the eyes of child helping us to question war and the other uses the energy and heroism of the cavalry in a tragic and futile battle.Both poems are ballads. This form is used to tell the story of war. It tells the story of the six hundred men who charged to their inevitable death in a battle in the Crimean War. The men were acting on wrong orders and their tragic story shows us that war is futile. They could not nor would not have wanted to question the orders, 'theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.' Although Tennyson shows disbelief that the men had to charge into the 'mouth of hell' he does not blame the brave soldiers, the 'noble six hundred.' Instead he thinks we should 'honor the charge they made'. This poem both celebrates and questions the men of war. The way both poems are structured is very similar, they are both tightly structured into small paragraphs consisting of short lines, (this is a typical characteristic of ballads/poems). The Battle Of Blenheim is made up of paragraphs containing 6 short sentences. This is consistent throughout the poem.
