I have to explicate a poem and I would like some help?

Question

Okay the poem is "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Lord Tennyson Alfred. I have to explicate it and I just need some help. I don't want you guys to think that I don't know how to do it because I do know how I just would like a little bit of help. I don't really understand the poem. So anybody know how to explain it to me (not all of it just parts)?

Answer 1

Heres a link to the story behind the poem if that helps.
