Come on come back language:1) rhyming couplet Ml5 to alive, shocking in its brevity 2) short vowel sounds- swiftly severing quickens the pace of the poem

3) alliteration- at midnight in the moonlight- mysterious feeling of time passing

4) metaphors- ribbon of moonlight path of peace

5) repetition omnious something unpleasant is going to happen (soldier could be a danger to herself du tot her plight)

6) oxymoron icy-amorous embrace she is finding peace in her death, highlights how much struggle she had gone through Structure:1) enjambment- no real pattern 2) varying lengths of the stanzas 3) lack of rhythm

*Austerlitz- was where napoleon beat Russia and the soldiers fell into the lake to survive

*just alive the soldier has been reduced to nothing- she has no feeling or emotions she is just matter, equivalent to a corpse (shows audience how much conflict has changed u, it has made is turn against ourselves)

*fragility of human life- how soldiers are perceived to be stronger, both mentally and physically howver in this poem she is mentally tortured into suicide because of the ML5

memel which is a town in Lithuania, where the Nazis had kiiled all of the jewish population, the poet imagines this place to be where the ways of assessing human extermination would be discussed

Belfast Confettilanguage:1) personification- it was raining exclamation marks literary illusion

2) the reason why the peom is all about language could be due to the fact that the poet cannot answer the questions that the british soldiers are asking him, (irony) the poet is using all there language stuff whereas the persona cant even form a sentence

3)Irony in the title- confetti is thrown in parties, an euphemism for everyday things being thrown, nuts, bolts things that hold the stuff, used for construction, building something is now being thrown to metaphorically and literally break down the world of the Irishmen.

4) the change of tense from the first to the second stanza shows that war is a continuos process that it has no end, structure:1) ellipsis visual representation2) hyphen- visual representation of the fire3) lists of thing- which quicken the pace4) enjambment- creates spaces in the peom and metaphorically oppurtunities for the persona to escape by the cant because none of them lead to freedom

I know this battle.the poet is telling us that the persona survived those famous battle but he cannot excape from this because this war has no meaning, there is no purpose behind the war, the pople are just fightihg for the sake of killing people The whole peom is an extended metaphor for the way conflict has destroyed our language- he couldnt communicate with the british soldiers
