2. Both poems have a rhyming pattern. Spring in War-Time uses alternate rhyming consistently throughout the poem but The Deserter has a less obvious rhyming structure, though there is still evidence of a pattern within.
3. One of the most obvious techniques used in The Deserter is repitition, used very regularly, though Spring in War-Time doe not use this approach, Nesbit uses ellipsis, which The Deserter lacks.

4. The Deserter uses a large vocabulary e.g yearns, heed, foremost... etc. Whereas Spring in War-Time doesn't display as much of a sophisticated vocabulary e.g new, warmed... etc.
ReplyDelete5. Both poems use a contrast inside their stanza(s), in Spring in War-Time the last line is a contrast to the first three. And in The Deserter there are negative words which are more powerful compared to the pleasentness of Spring in War-Time.

6. The Deserter gives off a feeling of fear, guilt and anxiety. The effect of this on the reader is a negative mood, making you empathize with the consequences of war. Whereas Spring in War Time gives the feeling of happiness with the exception of the last line of each stanza. It makes you imagine your free but your contradicted by the last line with a feeing of entrapment.
ReplyDelete7. There are two view points in The Deserter which makes you see two sides of the story so it makes you understand the poem and you feel more empathy for the characters. Spring in War Time only uses one view point but the poem shows more of a personal insight.
