Hughes has incorporated plosive sentences into his poem and this one shows passion for his country as well as the plosive letters making it powerful as well as blunt

Hughes has uses a fricative sentence including soft letters such as the 'f' in 'flame' to mimic the quiet sounds of the fire and the flames in the background of the soldiers mind. These sounds contrast the violent action pact scene that is created throughout the poem.

The triple is exposing the idea that they aren't the reasons for going into war, the were taught to believe that. In the face of a real battle. it seemed trivial. 'Dropped like luxuries' is the soldier giving up all sense of loyalty and that they aren't essential, only a luxury.

This is personification because alarms can't yell. This creates a chaotic sense and could symbolise the loud noise of all the guns being fired.

this sibilance mimics the sound of bullets hissing and whistling through the air. It makes the imagery created in the readers mind more detailed and brings the sounds of war to life.

This plosive sentance sounds quite harsh, and highlights the fact that even in war, when his comrades are dying all aorund him, he is still focused on the love for his country, that probably sent himto die in this war.

This simile shows that the scene was emotional

# data[].attributes.body
this triple powerfully shows how such patriotic ideas such as dignity and loyalty to the monarch can be tossed aside due to the brutal harsh reality of war

The enjambment here echoes the action in the poem. He is running in the same way that the line runs over into the next. This helps to lengthen the sentence and create a quicker pace.

Suddenly he awoke and was running – raw

In raw-seamed hot khaki, his sweat heavy,

Stumbling across a field of clods towards a green hedge

That dazzled with rifle fire, hearing

Bullets smacking the belly out of the air –

He lugged a rifle numb as a smashed arm;

The patriotic tear that had brimmed in his eye

Sweating like molten iron from the centre of his chest, –

In bewilderment then he almost stopped –

In what cold clockwork of the stars and the nations

Was he the hand pointing that second? He was running

Like a man who has jumped up in the dark and runs

Listening between his footfalls for the reason

Of his still running, and his foot hung like

Statuary in mid-stride. Then the shot-slashed furrows

Threw up a yellow hare that rolled like a flame

And crawled in a threshing circle, its mouth wide

Open silent, its eyes standing out.

He plunged past with his bayonet toward the green hedge,

King, honour, human dignity, etcetera

Dropped like luxuries in a yelling alarm

To get out of that blue crackling air

His terror’s touchy dynamite.
