These three poems are all describing the ups and downs of war. The one author saying how war is such a great thing and how brave the soldiers were. The other author saying how terrible war is, illustrating the death and injuries. In Tennyson's poem, because it was written earlier than the two poems by Owen, he describes more the glory and heroism of war, rather than the death and stupidity.

All three poems make you feel pity, even if it may be accidental, which I feel it is in Tennyson's 'The Charge of the Light Brigade'

Let us look at Tennyson's poem, he starts by using repetition. This is a good start as you feel the beat of the hooves of the soldiers' horses and this continues through the whole poem.

Not only do you instantly feel the beat, but from the next line you feel you know a lot about the story line.

This is repeated at the end of the verse, which I feel is very effec

All of them touch him like some queer disease'

The second verse tells how the soldiers were so loyal to their country, that even though they knew they were in mortal danger, they didn't question their superiors. The first line in this verse, is an order by the commander that suggests confidence in the troops.

In this section of the poem he compares the gas to the ocean, which I feel, gives you the idea of dense waves splashing over the victim and drowning him.
