They thus would hatch this piece of news and would go around spreading it. Ballads moreover include the main detail so tribe listen to them. They were normally nearly murders, mysteries and disasters. In this essay I will include the lyric poem features of Ballads and the storyline. I will similarly write about which lays I go through read and whether I have enjoyed them or not.Ballads share many opposite talking to features. One of the language features used is repetition. Repetition occurs in what has happened to Lu-Lu?What has happened to Lu-Lu pay off? this is almost like a chorus. It helps us remember the ballad. An opposite language feature is regular poetry dodging. There is a regular rhyme scheme in Frankie and Johnny.Love. above This makes the poem more interesting and it also gives the poem a rhythm. Another ballad that uses regular rhyme scheme is the Greshford disaster.Paid.Brigade This makes the poem have a regular beat also it makes the poem easier to remember. Alliteration is a language feature. Alliteration occurs in Frankie and Johnny. seetheRollRoll. The R sound being repeated helps you picture psyche being rolled over. In the ballad of Char smokestackte Dymond there is a lot of Alliteration.She.She.She This almost makes me feel like someone is whispering because of the sadness of Charlottes disappearance. In the Greshford Disaster all the stanzas have the akin amount of lines this makes the poem more pleasing. In what has happened to Lu-Lu? All the stanzas have the same amount of lines. This made it easier to remember for Ballad Singers .In What has happened to Lu Lu? There are similes this is one I heard an engine roar. This helps you imagine what the sound of the engine is like. In the Greshford Disaster there are also similes What packed like degree Celsi us in a drift This helps you imagine what the gas in the Dennis looked like, there would be lots of gas in the coal mine and you wouldnt be able to see anything like in a snow drift. galore(postnominal) Ballads are about get laid but some of them are about other things like mysteries and disasters. Two ballads which are similar are The Ballad of Hillsborough and The Greshford Disaster because they are both about disastrous events and people dieing. even so What has happened to Lu -Lu is different because it us about a girl disappearing. From my flavor I conceptualize The Greshford Disaster and The Ballad of Hillsborough are more tragic, because in what has happened to Lu -Lu no one actually dies but in the other two ballads there are people dieing.But different people will have a different opinion .Two other ballads which are similar are Frankie and Johnny and The ballad of Charlotte Dymond but in The ballad of Charlotte Dymond her husband Matthew kills here and in Frankie and J ohnny Frankie kills her husband Johnny. I think people would politic like ballads like this because there are still people going missing, people dieing, and disasters. Also people like comprehend and reading about other people and things that are happening in the rest of the world.I have read a number of Ballads opposite example The ballad of Hillsborough The Greshford Disaster, What has happened to Lu-Lu and The ballad of Charlotte Dymond. Although my personal favorite is Frankie and Johnny. The storyline of the ballad is about two people who are madly in love and in the end they betray each other .My favourite fortune is when Frankie takes the trigger out of her kimona. The poet says Frankie threw back her kimona took out a big 44 Root a toot toot three times she shoot. I thought this was effective because it puts you in suspense of what Frankie is going to do. I would remember ballads to people who are fond of reading and writing poems because ballads contain the same langua ge features that poems include.
