War Photographer

• ”fields which don’t explode beneath the feet of running children in a nightmare heat” - Rhyme, Allusion to well-known photograph by Nick Ut capturing children running from napalm attack in Vietnam. -Again, emphasises the contrast between the lives of those living in UK and those who have experienced war.
• “The reader’s eyeballs prick with tears between the bath and pre-lunch beers.” - Rhyme, Word choice - Emphasises the fleeting moment of compassion felt by readers - easily move on with their own lives. Ignore true message of photographs.
• “he stares impassively at where he earns his living and they do not care.” - Word Choice, Rhyming Couplet - Photographer cares more about warzones than ‘rural England’. Horrified by the indifference of people in UK.
