What do these two poems and the article say about the impact of the war on the native Vietnamese? Can you think of any other ways in which the war will impact the native Vietnamese?

These two poems talk about the hardship of the north Vietnamese people had to go through. From having their husbands, wife's and children being killed right in front of them. Also the munks who set themselves on fire in the middle of the street says a lot about how the war had an effect on these people.
Some other ways the war might effect these people is having the decision to go into the war or not and making up the mind to which side you are going to choose.
