War photographer
- Form and
structure
- regular rhyme scheme
- I think Duffy
writes the poem
like this to show
her respect and
that she does
care and she does
this by taking the
time to get things
right.
- Also it is a bit of a contrast
because it is a poem about
the destruction of war and
the photos he takes but she
wrights the poem neat and
with no errors even though
war is messy and
unpredictable.

- Duffy tries to
represent the
true horror of
conflict to make
the reader think
about the
subject.
- "A hundred agonies in black
and white"

- Religious Imagery
- The reference to
religion almost

funeral when he
develops the
photos.

church, and he a priest
preparing ... mass"

- The poem ends with a
sens of anger at the
people who "do not
care" about the
suffering of others.
