Comparison of The Hero and Reported Missing

  • Reported missing's rhyming scheme is abbaaccadeedaa where as the Hero's rhyming scheme is aabbccdedeffgghhii which makes the hero sound more lyrical like a song unlike reported missing which sounds less like a song so each line has more impact as there's more description to absorb.
  • Both poems show a character trying to look at the brighter side of their situation although in reported missing the character is in denial and doesn't want to accept the harsh realities of war.
  • The hero contains speech which makes the poem more personal and emotional for the reader as its more real and portrays a empathic story.
