Throughout "War photographer" & "Remains" both effectively use trauma to display the affect of war on people. However in "War photographer" Duffy presents the effects of war through the perspective of a journalist while for "Remains" , Armitage displays the the trauma from the narrative of a soldier. Initially both poets use of setting imagery to present the scene of guilt and fear. However in "War Photographer" this is revealed in 3rd person where it says "in his dark room, he is finally alone." with the use of of darkness to describe the monumental fear inside of him presenting a psychological conflict. Moreover the use of "alone" could suggest that he's perhaps safe from trouble. Duffy does this to show the copious amount of hard work journalists go through to record and deliver the truth. Meanwhile in "Remains" this is revealed in 1st person where it states "On another occasion we got sent out" with the use of the determiner "Another" to imply that the event that is about to occur has happened before. Furthermore the use of the plural pronoun "We" reveals how he was with other soldiers but also to highlight how identity is destroyed in the army along with how guilt is later to be displayed by the other soldiers as seen when soldiers got back from the iraq war in 2003.
