STRUCTURE
-
immediately not aware of the situation of before, Give the feel of the lack of ease that the soldiers would've felt
Nothing is neatly organised, and more chaotic. don't know the full story like the soldiers wouldn't have known but just sent there.
-
Title
The parts left over when other parts have been used, removed or destroyed. shows how the soldier has been used in the machine of war and all that is left is no good to anybody. he is broken mentally now
or like a persons body after death. As a war poem is a key meaning, death, however he doesn't die physically but metaphorically something inside of him does die.
-
"another occasion"
-
Colloquial language - shows how it was an everyday event, conversational. doesn't stay as when he shoots him changes to violent imagery.
"probably armed, possibly not"
undermimes the severity of the statement, if he was not armed, should he have been shot?
Repeated, gives the poem a cyclical structure as we are taken to the near beginning. Shows the trauma the soldier has experienced is inescapable.

Based on the true story of Guardsman Tromans, who was a machine gunner in Iraq war in 2003

"HIS BLOODY LIFE, IN MY BLOODY HANDS"
"my" marks a shift as the poem ends with the acknowledgement that they are taking responsibility, that on leave not in the war zone, he deals with the consequences alone. The effect on him.
