Comparisons between 'The Hero' and 'In flander Fields'

Here are some comparisons between 'The Hero' and 'In flander
Fields':

• They are both written in the same time period.
• Both Poems are writen in 3 stanzas.
• The Hero is written in couplets and In Flander's Fields is written in the
  scheme 'AABBA, AABC, AABBAC.
• Both poems use enjamberment to great effect.
• The Hero doesn't have a distinct rhythm. In Flanders Fields has a sort of rhythm.
• Both poems are about death. The Hero is about the death of someone whilst In Flander's Fields is written as if by one of the many dead.
• In Flanders Fields uses repation and this coupled with the last stanza makes the poem sound rather erie.
• The Hero starts as if 'Jack' was a hero and had died fighting the enemy. We find out later that he actually died trying to escape. This gives the poem a rather dark ending.
• In Flanders Fields there is a slight use of archaic language (Ye).
• In Flanders Fields uses semicolons to move the peom on whilst The Hero uses comas only.
