TASK ONE:They want to put the solider into the sun to wake him up because a solider asleep is a useless as that is what the tital FURTILITY means .
TASK TWO:They use personification to try and bring the thing that are not alive seem that they are alive EG:when it says to break the earth’s sleep at all, this says to me that the world was asleep like a human would be, I think that they use personification to bring the story to life.

Corey,
I think you have understood some of the ‘surface meanings’ of this poem. Now it is our job to try and discover some of the ‘hidden’ or implicit meanings.
Start with the phrase ‘wake him up’ does this mean the soldier is sleeping? Might it mean something else? How?
Where is the personification in this poem? Why has it been used?
