The devastation and loss caused by war are evident as the friends reminisce about their past and try to find a way to reconcile their differences. On the other hand, in "Thoughts of Hanoi," war is depicted more as a lingering memory that haunts the city of Hanoi, with the effects of war felt in the everyday lives of its inhabitants.
