They both mention some type of law enforcement, and they both are based on a setting and how there are certain rights which should be followed and in the poems the setting is described as barbaric.The way war and conflict is described is sad because its because a little girl with an imagination put her feet on between two country and the girl got told off and the mother got upset and said that in the other country people are much kinder as in Belfast confetti there is a man who is caught in the middle of a riot and he cannot leave and the riot was about land for the Protestant and Catholics and they want independence and land.

The conflict in Iraq is no longer occurring and the writer was writing about how she felt so happy to be home she said that the roads are much cleaner, the people are much nicer and the landscape is much more beautiful, that states that she is not happy with the way her and her family has been treated and she wants to go back home where everything is much nicer and she can compare to Belfast confetti by the conflict going on in her location and she is in the middle of a argument about a little girl and a border guard.In Iraq the conflict was about oil and fighting for the most oil and I think the conflict is still going on today but the most dangerous and shocking conflict is occurring in Syria where little girl and women are sexually abused and innocent people are killed day after day and it still goes on as I am writing, if a child is shouted at for playing on the border then what would happen if she did something worse? she might have been killed.

It was the same in Ireland but not as bad as killing innocent people and the other but the war lasted 30 years it was between the Catholics and protestants and the IRA used car bombs and nail bombs which killed or seriously injured because the nails would be travelling at a high speed.In Belfast confetti the character is stuck in the middle of a riot between the Catholics and the protestants

1.the first stanza sets the death by saying that Vandevue sits on the flat stone all by herself and the word alone is repeated more than twice and that gives me an idea that no-one will witness her death and when it says she taps the ground, why would she tap the ground by herself sitting on the rock.
2.The the way the landscape is described it gives me a idea that it is set in the future because the word ominous is used and ominous means something bad is going to happen and it gives me an impression that this is a future poem and it gives the reader an insight of what is expected.
3.RHYMES OF SADNESS:
1:Sitting alone at midnight on a round flat stone.Is sad because she is a girl soldier sitting alone and a flat stone without knowing she might die.
2.M.L.5 has left her just alive suggests that
