These two poems are autobiographical. Duffy has an oddly written structure written in the second person, so the reader identifies with 'you'. She has her poem set in her classroom in Easter term. The tone and mood is light hearted and happy. She has 4 stanzas with 8 lines in each. Heaney use 'I' which makes the reader identify with Heaney. He has set his poem in many places his college sick bay, home, his bedroom and in the morning and the morning after. The tone and mood is sad and tragic. He uses 7 stanzas with 3 lines in each but the last stanza has only one line which is powerful and grabbing to the reader.
