In the works "Cranes" and "Thoughts of Hanoi," the effects of war are explored, but they convey contrasting perspectives and experiences. In "Cranes," the story highlights the personal impact of war on the characters - Tokchae and Songsam. Here, war leads to a division between them, as Tokchae is a Communist soldier and Songsam is a South Korean soldier. The war causes a moral dilemma for Songsam, as he is torn between his duty as a soldier and his friendship with Tokchae. The story emphasizes the loss of innocence and the destruction of relationships that war brings. On the other hand, "Thoughts of Hanoi" portrays war from a collective perspective. It reflects on the resilience and spirit of the Vietnamese people in the face of war, particularly in Hanoi. Despite the destruction and suffering caused by war, the people of Hanoi continue to live with hope and determination. The poem captures the spirit of resistance and the desire for peace. Overall, while "Cranes" focuses on the personal toll of war on individuals and relationships, "Thoughts of Hanoi" highlights the resilience and spirit of the larger community in times of conflict.
