    Poets use various poetic devices in their pieces to express more meaning than the words do alone. Each poem is different in the way it uses these poetic devices and illustrates an idea. Alfred Lord Tennyson and Edgar Allen Poe are two great poets with very different styles of poetry. Despite using some of the same literary techniques, they each incorporate poetic devices to express meaning in their poems. Both Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade” and Poe’s “The Raven” use narrative, repetition, sound, and symbols to bring the readers into their stories. “Charge of the Light Brigade” is a narrative poem that tells the story of the Light Brigade of the British forces as they attack the Russian forces. One of the British leaders miscommunicates a message and, as a result, the Light Brigade charges into the mass of Russian forces without any backup or support.

The Soulless Man The Soulless Man left the city and sat on the far side of the hill. His mind was as sad as night. No light could dispel the gloom. And he cried, "Lead me to salvation." The earth opened her mouth and swallowed him. The earth was void and darkness was upon the deep. How great the darkness! A long thin hand…

    "Why?" he asked at the supper table that night. It wasn't a common question in the Garner house. There were plenty of "how's"—How much rain'd the backfield get? How's the planting going? Even "what's"—What'd Matthew do with the five-sixteenth wrench? What's Dad going to do about that busted tire? But "why" wasn't considered much worth asking. Luke asked again. "Why'd you have to sell the woods?" Luke's dad harrumphed, and paused in the midst of shoveling forkfuls of boiled potatoes into his…

    most of our concern lies in one question depicting a schematic diagram of a circuit, along with a few general answers, labelled A, B, C, D, and E, and multiple questions afterwards asking which letter (answer) corresponds the best (refer to the "Thinking" page on the test if possible).

    interpreted as a means of launching the dialogue on its path, on which Socrates and other characters delve upon it. Lysimachus is concerned with the outcome; he regularly gets involved throughout Laches and as they (Laches and Nicias) failed to answer to Lysimachus and Melesias' question, concludes with a desire to meet Socrates. Lysimachus' naive assumption actually marks the transition in the argument of the dialogue, that a solution will be found if they acquire an umpire to adjudicate…
