ibelieve the poem expresses a constrained sorrow at the loss of friend .
he show us the permanence of the world aroud and how it remains unaffected by the poets personal grief.

This poem has three themes. first, the grief, the poet grieves about lossing his young friend. Second,Showing how the youth is pericless in this world. He gives images of youghful joy in the middle of the poem. Third, he laments cold this world and how it goes on indifferent way regardless of what happen is good or bad, that is in the last part of the poem.

The poem is a lament with the diction being simple. It has four quatrains that have a slow and regular rhythm. It can also be described as a lyric poem as the words seem to have a musical quality bout them, it also expresses the poet’s thoughts and feelings .
‘Break, Break, Break’ opens with an apostrophe (this means that it is an address to a subject ending with an exclamation mark. There are three heavy beats per line, this shows that the poet can barely articulate his grief.
The grief appears to be affecting his work and because of this he feels ‘cut-off’ from others. there is a bitterness there when the poet notices the small boy ha no troubles at this time in his life. Basically saying ‘God help them when they are older”.

Tennyson seems to recall his childhood days in this poem,he remembers the way he enjoyed with his sister n his close friend Arthur,he shows all this lively to us in this poem through fisherman's boy character,it shows his presence of mind at the same time he shows deep grief forthe loss of his Friend Arthur,he shows the deep love that he had on Arthur.

I thought that the poem was very sad and the source of the sadness was because his friend got killed out at sea. Tennyson expressed his feelings in this poems creation. Words he used to indicate death were “vanished”, “never come back” and he uses imagery with “cold grey stones” because people think associate death with coldness and grey.
The feelings of the loss of a friend shown in this poem go very deep and by reading the poem you can tell he wrote it when he was emotional about the subject and was reflecting on their childhood happiness and memories in the second stanza shown by the words saying that he was playing with his sister and singing in the bay which is in contrast to the rest of the poems bleak mood. In the third stanza he expresses his longing the touch of his friends vanished hand, and the sound of his friend’s voice.
Break, Break, Break shows alliteration, repetition, onomatopoeia and assonance. It uses alliteration with the three B’s (Break, Break, Break). It also uses repetition in the form of saying Break, three times. It uses onomatopoeia because the word Break, sounds a bit like something breaking. Assonance is also used because it uses 3 of the same vowel sounds (Break, Break, Break). Break, Break, Break sets the bleak mood for the poems because it is dull words and sounds angry when you say it. Also a technique Tennyson has used it by rhyming every second and 4th line in the Stanzas. This helps the poem to flow.
