Compare and contrast The Charge of the Light Brigade withThe Defence of Lucknow by Alfred Lord Tennyson - What contrasting attitudes do they convey? How does he do this?

"I think that Tennyson has included points in the poems, which weren't necessary to gain the readers support. One point is the racist remarks that Tennyson had included in "The Defence Of Lucknow", which I believe are absolutely inappropriate, as it isn't the sort of strategy someone would use if they were wanting to gain readers sympathy and respect for the British, in my opinion. BY SAMIUR RAHMAN BY10 I"

Compare and Contrast the Poem ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ (1854) by Tennyson and the Film Version (1968) of the same events by the Director Tony Harrison

"In conclusion, I think that that both the poem and the film portray the gallantry of the soldiers and the mistake of the officers. I think that through the media of film, it is easier for the director to show the emotion of the individuals, although there is a certain amount of emotion that can be instilled in the reader of the poem. By Alex Chambers"

Compare and contrast how the poets convey their attitudes to war

"In conclusion the poets convey their attitudes towards war in different ways. Tennyson's main approach was to use many devices such as clusters of three and personification to give the reader an idea of how bad war was. Kipling, however, uses imagery to shame the reader, how they can fight and kill against their own species. They both successfully use these devices and their poems have become famous and well-known throughout the years. Both poets have an impact on the reader. This is the main objective of an anti-war poem, which are designed to make the reader turn against war."
