The Man He Killed Poem Analysis

Emotions of War

War effects everyone differently, creating a different emotion among us all. In each of the poems that we read, the tone is different as the writer wants us to understand the emotion behind it and what they were truly feeling. Some people took war as it was no big deal, as other sat and suffered through the horrendous events and emotions. Even though each poem was about war, they all have their own story.

They start out having hope, even if it is barely any and then changes as reality hits them. They are sad, scared and worried of what is going to happen next in the world.

The fourth poem differs slightly from the other three poems but does not differ much. The other three poems expressed emotion that were full of grief and exhaustion as "Patterns" is more emotion of rage. The writer is furious about what is going on with war and especially at the fact that war took her loved one away from her.
