    Wouldn't it be good to read them first, and then answer the questions? The answers are obvious if one has read the poems.

    One has read the poems, many many times.. me and english do not get along.. I'm asking because I really do need help, not just because I'm lazy.. so if someone has some sort of insight that would be great.. if not please keep your comments to yourself.

    "not just because im lazy" lol

    Has one also Googled for help? Has one gone to the library for help?

    McCrae was a war poet. John McCrae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I did my own homework all through school. You still have avenues to explore. The poems are short and easy to read. Best wishes at the library.
