The two poems “Search for my tongue” and “Not my business” are both written by poets from very different backgrounds and cultures, looking to get their point across. Bhatt emphasises in his poem the on-going concerns of dying traditional languages and the fact that if you learn a new language, your old language could fade…

The use of onomatopoeia by both poets makes it clearer for us to envision the scene of the war. Tennyson uses “volleyed”, “thundered”, “stormed” to refer to the brave soldier’s rapid movement and recreate the echo in the battlefield.
