Henry V Synopsis

from 

The Archbishop of Canterbury, worried over impending legislation that would effectively rob the Church in England of its power and wealth, convinces Henry V to forego this pursuit in favor of laying claim to France. Armed with a legal technicality, Henry means to take the throne of France by whatever means necessary. The Dauphin's insulting response—sending an ambassador with a gift of tennis balls—convinces Henry that the French will only respond to war; thus, he arranges for an army to invade France. However, rebellion has always seemed to follow when the king's away, and Henry makes certain that he leaves behind enough troops in England to quell any potential uprising. That leaves him with a relatively small invasion force.

In fact, Henry must deal with one plot before even crossing the Channel. Lords Cambridge, Scroop, and Grey are discovered to be conspiring to assassinate Henry (paid for by the French). Henry makes a very public example of all three, arresting them in person and seeing to their execution. The army then lays siege to Harfleur, capturing it after heavy losses in battle with the city's defenders. Henry attempts to take his army out of France before the onset of winter; however, now the French are certain that they can teach the young king a humiliating lesson on the field of battle. Henry is resolute, nonetheless. If the French want a decisive battle, they will have it.

While in camp, Henry disguises himself as a common soldier in order to mingle with his troops before the battle. There he talks candidly with his men, and they with him. The men may be leery of their king, but their willingness to battle the French army is undaunted. The next day at Agincourt, Henry makes the stirring St. Crispin's Day speech, knowing his army is outnumbered five to one. Aided mightily by the longbows of his archers, Henry makes the day a rout for the French. The French must now sue for peace, which Henry will grant—completely on his own terms, of course. According to the terms of the Treaty of Troyes, Henry will marry Princess Katherine of France and will be named as heir to the French throne. England and France will thus be united in peace.

Conclusion Paragraph part deux

Explanation examples 1st!!!!!!!

the transformation of men from being happy and kind to being grey with dying eyes
how the bullets are like the teeth biting through flesh and ripping and tearing it apart
 she can't belive that his dead
describe precisely, the gases and how hopeless were the soldiers
 She can only remember him in his khaki tunic and not his face or how he used to be
the girl can't see his face but only his khaki uniform.
how the soldiers are dragged down through the horrors of war
we should never forget
the death and tragedy of war.


 "Have you forgotten yet is repeated at the beginning and at the end of the poem.It tells us we should never forget the death and tragedy of war. Some of  Sassoon's friends was killed in the war, and even he was injured.
Sassoon uses a lot of ways to express how horrible the war was.

The Soldier

BY RUPERT BROOKE

If I should die, think only this of me: 

      That there’s some corner of a foreign field 

That is for ever England. There shall be 

      In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; 

A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, 

      Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam; 

A body of England’s, breathing English air, 

      Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. 

And think, this heart, all evil shed away, 

      A pulse in the eternal mind, no less 

            Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; 

Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; 

      And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, 

            In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Peace out dude

Peace

BY RUPERT BROOKE

Now, God be thanked who has matched us with his hour,

      And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping!

With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power,

      To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping,

Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary;

      Leave the sick hearts that honor could not move,

And half-men, and their dirty songs and dreary,

      And all the little emptiness of love!

Oh! we, who have known shame, we have found release there,

      Where there’s no ill, no grief, but sleep has mending,

            Naught broken save this body, lost but breath;

Nothing to shake the laughing heart’s long peace there,

      But only agony, and that has ending;

            And the worst friend and enemy is but Death.
