carried breech-loading artillery carried large naval guns They were Heavily armored They could fire over 100,000 meters Had faster speed then any other ship of that time.

Every country had multiple battleships that had names Set the pace for naval development in the 20th century. Battleships run on oil main battery consisting of the largest caliber of guns Battleships were larger, better armed and armored than cruisers or destroyers

God protect them in heaven as I could not protect them in hell. Give me the strength to believe -- not in peace, for that word has now lost all its meaning -- but that a more human race will spring from the loins of other girls by some miracle salvaged from such ruinous assaults, such soul-consuming hatreds. My lovely girls are gone. Can I revive my will to trust once more? If I were the Palestinian gynecologist whose two daughters and niece were slaughtered by an Israeli bomb in Gaza recently, this would be my way of telling you of suffering outraged. What did these beautiful girls do to harm Israel? All innocent. All on the thin edge of the moment, opening their future, meeting life more than halfway, in love with hope, dreaming of becoming a doctor, a teacher, a musician. Here On this very splash of blood Lie torn notebooks, a comb, A towel and a kerchief to cover An all-too-fragile brain-case.

1. Speaker At the beginning the speaker seems to be an observer of the Palestinian gynecologist and at the end the poem talks as if it were the gynecologist himself 2. Deviation from normal syntax I looked but could not find anything. It stayed pretty standard 3. Apply your own Experiences When I saw the bombs in England on the television 4. Connotation/Denotation Slaughtered- Connotation: Painful, causing death to innocent people Denotation: The excessive killing of many people Suffering- Connotation: Hurting or dying slowly and painfully. Denotation: feelings of mental or physical pain Strength- Connotation: Being strong and powerful Denotation: The state, property, or quality of being strong. 5. Metaphors, similes, images, symbols Images – It gives me the image of a horrific death of many innocent people who don’t deserve the pain. 6. Sound and RhythmIt does not have a particular rhythm or sound. 7. StructureBlank verse because it has ordinary speech with no rhythm 8. Social, cultural, moral Values This poet has strong moral values when he talks about god, heaven, and hell and also he is very against the war. He has cultural values by having a strong job of being a gynecologist 9. How your values affect your interpretation My values are not the same as his because while he sees only bad in war I think there are some benefits that can come out of it even though it is a sad thing at the same time. I have the same religious values as this poem and I see what he is talking about when he speaks about heaven and hell.
