analysis of form
first person what is generally felt by a soldier creating a interaction between reader ans poet creating a friendly tone
past tense reflective feel killing another human is something that can not be forgotton
lyric form creating a lighter tone in some ways seems to trivialise the view of the speaker suggests that the world has forgotten that the soldiers are people
analysis of structure
the confusion is indicated on the enjambment on line 12 which creates a sense of breaking away from the traditional thought of me
using exclamation marks supports a sense of strong feeling regarding a curious nature of war
use of iambic testament quickens the meter supporting the lighter tone suggesting a sense of confusion
repetition of because supports confusion speaker hesitates to support the mind set that hes been trained to kill
regular rhyme scheme reforms a lighter and friendlier tone creating harmony between the two side
analyse of language
'curious 'suggests war is somewhat confusing creating a poem which is not quite anti-war
using fellow to describe the other soldiers creates a friendlier tone
'he though he'd list' referce enlisting for the war soldiers are payed to fight 'just as i' creates a sense of similarity
using had but and the model verb should hardy creates a sense of regret at the lost of a possible friendship
