Fiction Adaptation Unit- Investigating Terms

Today I decided to investigate the meaning of some of the terms that appear in "Anthem for a Doomed Youth" that I am still quite unfamiliar with and confused about. At a previous date, I went through the poem and underlined some of the terms I was having trouble with so that I could investigate them at a later date. Here are the things I underlined:

As you can see, since then I have actually found out the meaning to the terms I was having trouble with. I found out the meaning by doing simple google searches, inputting such searches as "What is a pall" and "What is a pallor".
Once I was comfortable with the results I found, and I was sure that the results returned were the correct descriptions for the terms I was searching for, I wrote them down next to the terms on the poem sheet so that I have them handy at all times.

I noticed that the terms I was having trouble with understanding are all terms which aren't often used these days anymore. I believe this is simply a sign of the times, and had I been alive in or around 1917 (the time the poem was written) I probably would have understood what most of these words meant. However, since I live in a post-modern society where our language has changed considerably, it is understandable that not many people would know what these words mean.

Nonetheless, I am now aware of the meaning and can continue to draft my story for "Anthem for a Doomed Youth" with relative ease.
