Its about My captain O' my captain and.Take a moment to consider the fictional accounts you read about two historical events—the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and the Crimean War. Choose one event, then reread its fictional account:
Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain" about President Abraham Lincoln's assassination
Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "The Charge of Light Brigade" about the Crimean War The charge of the light brigade Write a short paragraph to explain how the author uses fiction to explain this historical event. Consider these questions: What event is the author describing? What does the author’s approach to the subject say about how they view the world? What is the historical or cultural setting the author is referring to? How does this setting influence the overall meaning of the text? Consider how it impacts the poetic elements in the account. Be sure to use specific examples or textual evidence from research, the readings in this class, or your own experiences and knowledge.
