Task 2

Point of View: Ignorant young children are being harmed and used by the war
Evidence: There are children in the darkness Who someone will teach to fight
Elaboration: By saying “someone will teach them fight”, the writer implies that the war will use others as tools ot even sparing the children.

Situation and Setting: During war time
Evidence: Or will a war consume them
Elaboration: By saying “or will a war consume them”, it implies that war was one of the reason for the killing of the children

Language/ Diction: Solemn
Evidence: Could we simply light a candle. Could we give them half a chance. Could we teach.
Elaboration: It uses repetition to emphasize on the seriousness of this situation.


Personal Response: The poem explains the harmful effect of war and presents it in such a way that innocent children becomes victims.
