‘The Soldier’ – Rupert Brooke

1. That the place they are talking about will always be England, he is making it England and it will be like that forever. Fighting for it.
2. To me, the tone of the poem is (self) understanding and proud. The writer is explaining this setting with pride and honour of England and the land. He is understanding of the fact that just like others he has evil, but with it all “shed away”, there is peace. The tone is somewhat persuasive, not like he is trying to make you think something, but you want to understand what he is saying. The words are warm and soft, making you happy and inspired.
