here is the first poem
The Man He Killed
By Thomas Hardy
"Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have sat us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
"But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
"I shot him dead because —
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
"He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like — just as I —
Was out of work — had sold his traps —
No other reason why.
"Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat if met where any bar is,
Or help to half-a-crown."

Second poem
In Flanders Fields
By John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
the points will go to each person who answers I need it by saturday morning, Thanks

The Man He Killed Analysis
Stanza 1
“Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have sat us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
This poem begins with the hypothetical that the speaker and a man meet up in “some old ancient inn”. Because the title is, “the man he killed” the readers can assume that the speaker is referring to the man he killed. He is giving a hypothetical to help the readers to understand the humanity of each of them. Immediately, the readers can picture two men meeting up by chance and sitting down for a drink together. A “nipperkin” refers to a type of container that held a certain amount of liquid. This stanza makes it clear that the speaker wishes that he had met this man under different circumstances. The reader does not yet know what the circumstances were that led to the speaker shooting the man. It does not sound like the speaker had any hateful feelings toward the man, and it certainly does not seem like the speaker had any reason to kill the man. In fact, it rather sounds like he wishes he hadn’t.
Stanza 2
“But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
The word “but” jolts the reader out of the hypothetical and back to reality. In real life, as a part of the infantry, the speaker stared a man in the face and shot him. The man also shot at the speaker. The speaker “killed him in his place”. This stanza also reveals to the reader that the speaker had a near death experience. The speaker, being so focused on the man he shot, does not give any insight into what he felt at having been the man to walk away. The fact that the two men were face to face shows that either one could have died. It was only by chance that the speaker walked away and the other man fell. Perhaps this near death experience was what caused the speaker to think about the other man rather than himself. Whatever the reason, the speaker seems to grow very contemplative after this experience.
