The Last of the Light Brigade Pgs. 838-839


The general point made by Rudyard Kipling in his work The Last of the Light Brigade, is that people should appreciate what soldiers have sacrificed for them. More specifically, Kipling suggests that these men sacrificed everything that they had to defend their country. He writes, “Our children’s children are lisping to honour the charge they made. And we leave to the streets and the workhouse the charge of the Light Brigade! (pg.839)” This passage suggests that soldiers sacrifice for us and we should honor them for what they do for us. In conclusion we should remember our soldiers, and all they do for us.

In my view Kipling is right because we do need to appreciate our soldiers more. For example I think that many people often overlook the soldiers and what they do for us. I am glad that they do so much for us and I think that we need to take more time to thank them for what they do for us.
