Both poems also use lists; in ‘Belfast Confetti’‚ the use of the list ‘Balaklava‚ Raglan...’ show how the conflict has affected everywhere. The list

Percy Jackson/ADHD Does Percy Jackson have ADHD? I think Percy Jackson has ADHD because he is always doing something‚ or blurting something out. When he is doing something‚ he is doing something else the next minute. First‚ Percy Jackson is always doing something and not ever just sitting down.
