Entry 3: Worth a thousand words, you say?

In response to Tennyson's poem, "Charge of the Light Brigade," I drew a portrait of a cavalry soldier charging, his sabre in the air.

I drew this scene because It represents to me the honour and courage that those 627 soldiers must have upheld to charge straight into firing cannons. I drew it such because the portrait of the Cossack was inspiring of the very same courage and honour, and the border I drew to look like something out of a tapestry or poster, which is also a way to honour a person or story. The cannons on the side also represent Tennyson's third stanza, "Cannon to the right of them, Cannon to the left of them, Cannon in front of them." Finally, the banner at the bottom quotes the last line of the poem, "Noble Six Hundred."
