Question

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash’d all their sabres bare,
Flash’d as they turn’d in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder’d.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro’ the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel’d from the sabre-stroke
Shatter’d and sunder’d.
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.

—"The Charge of the Light Brigade,"
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Which ideas did you use in your response?
a. meter helps create a rhythm that is quick, like the men riding on their horses.
b. repetition helps create the feeling of repeated cannon volleys.
c. rhyme helps stress the connection between parts of the battle scene.

Answer 1

The use of meter, repetition, and rhyme in 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' helps create a sense of pace, repeated cannon volleys, and stress the connection between different parts of the battle scene (option c).

Step-by-step explanation:

In Tennyson's poem 'The Charge of the Light Brigade,' the use of meter helps create a rhythm that is quick, like the men riding on their horses.

The repetition of phrases such as 'Cannon to right of them, Canon to left of them' helps create the feeling of repeated cannon volleys.

Additionally, the rhyme scheme in the poem helps stress the connection between different parts of the battle scene.
