Page 2: Imagery and Lasting Effects

The second page continues the analysis of how both poems use vivid imagery to convey war's lasting impact. The focus shifts to the specific techniques used to portray psychological damage and trauma.

Highlight: The semantic field of violence in 'War Photographer' shows how war's impact persists even in peaceful settings.

Quote: "the drink and drugs won't flush him out" demonstrates the soldier's desperate attempts to escape trauma.

Example: The use of visceral imagery in both poems emphasizes the physical and psychological scars of war.

The analysis explores how both poets make broader statements about society's treatment of war's victims, particularly focusing on the lack of support for traumatized soldiers and the way war's horrors are processed by society.

Definition: Semantic field - a set of words related to a specific subject or theme, here focusing on violence and trauma.

The comparison demonstrates how both poems, despite their different perspectives, effectively convey the devastating and lasting effects of war on human psychology.

Page 1: The Impact of War Through Different Perspectives

This page explores how Carol Ann Duffy and Simon Armitage present the effects of war in their poems 'War Photographer' and 'Remains'. The analysis focuses on how different individuals are affected by conflict, whether directly or indirectly involved.

Highlight: The poems show contrasting perspectives - the war photographer's professional detachment versus the soldier's direct trauma.

Quote: "spools of suffering" demonstrates the photographer's desensitization through alliteration and sibilance.

Example: The comparison to a priest in 'War Photographer' suggests a sense of duty and ritual in documenting war's horrors.

Vocabulary: Sibilance - the repetition of 's' sounds in words, creating a hissing effect.

The page delves into how both poems explore guilt and trauma differently. In 'Remains', the soldier's guilt is shown through repetition and uncertainty, while in 'War Photographer', the protagonist maintains professional distance while still being affected by what he witnesses.

Definition: Present progressive verb - a verb form showing ongoing action, as in "preparing," emphasizing continuous duty.

The analysis examines how both poems use structure to reflect their themes - 'Remains' with its chaotic structure reflecting mental disturbance, while 'War Photographer' maintains ordered stanzas showing controlled processing of trauma.
