Both poems 'Remains' and 'War Photographer' show personal experience to reflect the message of taking photographs of war and actually shooting people in the war which will have the stronger affect as you have just ended someone's life. However, In 'War Photographer', taking photographs of the war and in 'Remains', actually taking part of the war. Both poems reflect on the horrors and flashbacks of the war. Armitage uses  third-person in the poem to show that the soldiers has guilt in that he has shot somebody so he tries to blame the others into it and says 'well myself and somebody else and somebody else'. However in the fourth stanza the view of the poem flips to first person 'I walk over it week after week'. Armitage does this to show the horrors and flashbacks of returning home from the war. To backup this point, in the poem, Armitage uses the phrase 'drink and drugs wont flush him out'. This shows that the horror of  war will stay with you forever as a memory and no matter what you try and do to get rid of it, the flashback will stain your memory. 
In 'War Photographer', even though the photographer did not take part by shooting in the war but he still receives pain from taking the photos. In the poem, it says 'his hands, which did not tremble but seem to now'. This shows that the horror and flashbacks are now hitting him as he has safely got arrived home. It is ironic that his hands tremble as they didn't when he was actually took the photo but now he remembers the flashbacks his hands 'tremble' because of the horrors of war.]]> 2016-09-21 08:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hackneyl1/co2ikkoymwe6/wish/125314394 https://padlet.com/hackneyl1/co2ikkoymwe6/wish/125314737
Both the poems 'Remains' and 'War Photographer' present personal experiences of war and are about the effects of conflict. The poem Remains is a personal experience that someone is remembering and having flashbacks to where as War Photographer is someone taking photos of the experiences that people have. Duffy wrote the poem to question whether or not it was right to take pictures of people suffering. Armitage wrote the poem to show the effects that going to war has on the soldiers mental health after having to deal with the guilt of killing someone.

Both poets use enjambment to convey the chaos of the war. Armitage uses enjambment to show that the soldier has mixed feelings about the war. for example the word "blink" shows that it links going home to going back to the war, even when the experience is over, the horror is still there. The structure of the poem Remains starts off very casual, but as it gets to the 5th Stanza there is a Volta "End of story, except not really." This shows the change in the mood, it shows guilt and realisation of what he's done. The poem has no regular structure or rhyme scheme so it sounds like a story, which suggests he's all over the place. Where as in the poem War Photographer there is also a Volta when it says "Something is happening" it changes to a specific event]]> 2016-09-21 08:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hackneyl1/co2ikkoymwe6/wish/125314737 https://padlet.com/hackneyl1/co2ikkoymwe6/wish/125315168 Savannah
Both poems 'Remains' and 'Bayonet charge' show the personal experience of war.'Remains' is about a specific occasion when he has to decide to shoot or not and the suffering after war, Armitage wanted to highlight the fact that the distress and panic doesn't just stay at war it continues and haunts the soldier in the poet. Whereas 'Bayonet charge' is about the emotions of a soldier while at war and all the horrific scenes he witnesses'.
Armitage uses casual, conversation like stanzas this gives us the impression that its calm.Armitage uses a volta to change the mood in stanza 5 to show us the real feel of war.
