The outcome of a battle is determined to some degree by the spirit that a general can instill in his soldiers.
Both “Lonely Particular” and the “St. Crispian’s Day Speech” focus on war leaders. Choose one of the two poems. In an essay, evaluate the effectiveness of the leader (either the General or Henry V).
How much do you admire that person as a war leader and why? Use examples from the poem to support your views.
