language devices :

1. “As gallant as a full in flight ”              2. “All too dread for words “.              3. “So ghastly in the cold sunlight ”

I think that the poet has used these language devices to give them a feeling and affects of what each of the three men are experiencing. I think that these devices will affect the audience as they understand the shock and awe. It put the audience through an emotional ride.

  1. Seydou,

    The quotations you have chosen are sound – they show that you have taken on the gothic theme if the poem and you have begun to explore how the audience might interpret them.

    To Develop:
    You refer to ‘language devices’ in your piece – but you do not name the specific devices or how their effect has been created.

    Focus on one device and explore how it might impact upon the poem as a whole – how does this device help to create an effect and how does this change the poem? Why?
