The Death of a Ball Turret Gunner

After reading "The Death of the Ball Turrett Gunner," (page 1195) answer the following two questions:

1. Cite any instances of assonance or alliteration. Describe each instance of the particular sound technique on the overall sound as well as meaning.

2. I know that this is a short poem, but what other techniques has Jarrell used? If you were to explicate this poem in front of the class, what other techniques would you focus on?
