Attack:
"Oh Jesus make it stop!"
Attack, by Siegfried Sassoon is a powerful poem about "going over the top", and it uses imagery and metaphors to serve the big idea. The main idea of the poem is that the situation is hopeless and the men are desperate. An example of auditory (sound) imagery is "the barrage roars and lifts", this quote is very powerful because it also includes a really strong metaphor which is "roars" because a barrage doesn't actually roar but since it is so loud it sounds as if it does roar. The sight imagery is best exemplified by "lines of grey, masked with fear". This quote of imagery of sight uses a really great metaphor which is "masked" as if they are all wearing a mask of fear. "Hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists" in this quote the metaphor is "hope" since they are hopeless meaning there is no hope left.
