Document Summary
Anthem1 for doomed youth (anthem national anthem or religious song/celebratory) (personi cation an enemy in their own right) Only the stuttering ri es" rapid rattle (assonance and alliteration and consonance tt", onamateopoeia) No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; religion has no e ect for them. Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, no mourning for them. The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; - not the choirs of lovely voices at funerals, another mockery. Signal movements, also used in military funerals (could have been their last post, the only time you would hear this now is during his funeral) Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes not so much religion, nothing for them (alter boys) ( closing eyes of the dead? ) (went through the worst possible experience, the glimmer of goodbye suggests life and hope)
