Charge of the Light Bridgade
The Charge of the Light Brigade was a disastrous cavalry charge during the Crimean War in 1854. Lord Cardigan led 600 British cavalrymen in a frontal assault against Russian forces, obeying a misunderstood order. Two thirds of the Light Brigade were killed or wounded in the attack, which rode straight into the enemy guns. Tennyson's poem praises the courage and loyalty of the soldiers, who knowingly followed what was likely a flawed command, riding to their deaths. It highlights their bravery and sense of duty above all else, cementing the charge as a symbol of military sacrifice.

Presentation war poetry
War poetry emerged during World War 1 and was written by poets like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. These poets sought to depict the horrors of war and show its destructive nature. They portrayed the experiences of soldiers and themes of death, injury, and how war affected troops. Famous poems from this era include Owen's "Dulce Et Decorum Est" and Sassoon's "The Redeemer." Sassoon's poems satirized those responsible for prolonging the war and described the horrors faced by soldiers in the trenches. Poetry provides a valuable first-hand account of the soldier's experience of war, though primary sources are generally considered the most reliable for historians studying a specific war period.

In the second stanza, the soldiers scramble to put on their gas masks after being ordered to do so, but one soldier fails and flails as he is overcome by the gas. In the final stanza, Owen addresses those who propagate the notion that it is noble to die for one's country, asserting that the true horrors of war should be known to discourage such glorified views of conflict.

Realism, heroism, bravery, boldness or cowardice
'Heroism' and 'realism', 'bravery' or 'cowardice' are powerful words pregnant with multiple meanings and thus often misunderstood in common discussion. This is not exactly an article but a cursory examination of how certain individuals in various stages of world history made remarkable achievements by being 'Heroic' 'Realistic' etc.
The 'Hero' is a man who does not surrender in face of overwhelming odds and thus emerges 'victorious' or is perceived by posterity to have been morally victorious despite having been physically destroyed.
Khalid Bin Waleed, Napoleon, Alexander, Churchill etc may be grouped in the first cate-gory and Joan of Arc, Syed Ahmad Shaheed may be grouped in the latter category. All these men did well and are even today well known figures in history.
We will first examine the issue in relation with the fact 'Whether the hero had an exact knowledge and sufficient time' to assess decisions that he made and which ultimately elevated him to the pedestal of a hero in history! This is important but very often forgotten or not understood at all by many. We will take the 'Rebels' or the 'Freedom Fighters' of 1857 as an example. All existing facts as we know them today prove that these 'Rebels' never really understood the real power and potential of the English East India Company.

it takes courage to stand up for what we believe in

Richard confronted the troublemakers who were scaring others and managed to scare them away. He continued his friendship with Hannah even when others disapproved.

group 2 5S A poison tree
The poem describes how the narrator deals with anger towards a friend and a foe. When angry with a friend, telling them about the anger causes it to end and the friendship to last. However, anger towards a foe grows in silence, watered by tears at night. The foe notices the bright apple representing the anger and eats it, dying under the tree. The narrator is then glad to see his foe dead. The poem suggests communication is important and harboring anger can have deadly consequences.
5S GROUP 1 What has happened to lulu
The poem describes a child questioning his mother about the disappearance of his sister Lulu. Lulu's room is empty except for an old rag doll and an open window. The mother is crying and burns a note, likely from Lulu. Though the mother claims the child was dreaming, he thinks he heard voices and a car during the night. The child wants to know what happened to Lulu as the mother paces distraught.
GROUP 2 a poison tree
The poem describes a persona who kept his anger hidden instead of resolving it with his foe. This caused his wrath to grow like a poisonous tree over time. In an attempt to trick his foe, the persona acted kindly but was secretly plotting revenge. His tree of anger steadily grew until it bore a shiny poisonous apple. One night, the foe stole the apple, ate it, and died - falling into the persona's trap. The moral of the poem seems to be that suppressing anger and using deception instead of honest communication will only breed more negativity.
GROUP 1 what has happened to Lulu
The persona notices changes in their home that suggest something has happened to their older sister Lulu. Lulu's bed is empty except for an old rag doll, her window is open, and her money box is missing. When the persona asks their mother what happened, the mother acts strangely - turning away crying, crumpling a note and throwing it in the fire. The persona then hears noises in the night that the mother dismisses as dreams. The mother now wanders around anxiously. The persona wants to know what has happened to Lulu.
