Paragraph about The Sentry

"O sir, my eyes- I'm blind - I'm blind, I'm blind!"
This poem is about that how brutal nightmare was the war and to show this the writer uses imagery, metaphor, alliteration and also onomatopoelia.

In the first stanza the poem tells us where is it set. This qoute from the poem "Shrinks of death" shows that it was as horrible as death.

The second stanza is using stronger words which makes your mind think first about never ending nightmare.

The third stanza is is about people having hope that they are going to survive but at the and sadly as the poem says "light dies out".

Paragraph about The Wind of the Downs

The writer in this poem uses imagery and repetation to say whats in the poem.

The big idea of this poem is that the girl can't see his face but only his khaki uniform. The first stanza is about that the girl thinks that the boy is dead and she can't remember him. The poem has these metaphors for describeing him "brown abd tall, strong and living". The second stanza's idea is that she can't belive that his dead and she do things what they did together.
