Cannons to the left of them. Cannons to the right of them. Cannons in front of them. A hero has to stand up and be a hero. In Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem “The Change of the Light Brigade” shows courage and heroism and also shows how they do their duties without questioning their orders.

Alfred Tennyson wrote the “Charge of the Light Brigade” in 1854 and it is about the battle of Balaclava in the Crimean war.
