The Light brigade poem

 LI: to know the story behind the poem.

This week we learnt about the poem called the Light Brigade. We had to unpack the poem bit by bit to understand the meaning behind the poem. The author of this poem is Alfred Lord Testiness. The story behind this poem is about the light brigade riding the valley of death and then trying to retrieve the guns that were stolen.They came back failing the mission, and coming out with nothing. 600 men went in less than one third came back ( less that 200). Something I enjoyed doing doing was learning about the Light Brigade, because I didn't know about it in the first place.
