Times of Change - Farmer Nguyen, Massacre at My Lai, A Nun at Ninh Hoa

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?

Many innocent villagers were accused of supplying or informing the Vietcong. They were captured and beaten. Other civilians were simply murdered for no reason, such as the Massacre at My Lai. The war also drove some nuns to burn themselves alive in prayer.
