time who wrote love poetry. The thing that sets him apart from the others is that he manages to successfully subvert the traditional conventions to his own ends.

I am comparing the poems ‘Flag’ and ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ (CLB) which are both from the conflict cluster.

Starting off in the very first stanza‚ William writes a very bland line‚ “Some of what we do‚ we do to make things happen‚” making this line seem lifeless and distasteful. It’s later accompanied by the lines “the alarm to wake us up‚ the coffee to perc‚ the car to start.” This helps support the very first line in showing the reader that their lives are very routine-based
