Can you give an example of a well - known poem in ballad form that tells a story?

A characteristic is that it probably has a strong rhythm. Since it's in ballad form, it likely has a pattern of beats that gives it a musical quality. Also, it might use repetition, which is common in ballads. This can help to emphasize certain parts of the story and make it more memorable. For example, it could repeat a key phrase each time a new event in the story occurs.

One example is 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It tells the story of a mariner who shoots an albatross and then endures a series of supernatural and psychological punishments at sea. The poem is filled with vivid descriptions of the sea, the ice, and the strange events that befall the mariner and his crew.

One example is 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. It tells the story of a man who is visited by a raven while he is mourning the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven's repeated response of 'Nevermore' drives the man to a state of madness as he questions and agonizes over his situation.

An example is 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. It tells the story of a man who is visited by a raven while he is mourning the loss of his love. The poem is full of mystery and the verses gradually reveal more about the man's state of mind and the strange presence of the raven. The use of repetition and rhyme adds to the overall atmosphere of the story.

One example is 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. This poem tells a rather gloomy and sad story. The narrator is mourning the loss of his beloved Lenore and is haunted by a raven which constantly repeats the word 'Nevermore'. It creates an atmosphere of despair and melancholy.

The story of Johnny Appleseed is also considered a tall tale to some extent. While he was a real person who planted apple trees across America, the stories about him have been embellished over time. For instance, it's said that he walked across the country barefoot in the snow, with a sack of apple seeds on his back, and that animals would follow him everywhere, which are rather exaggerated details.

One well - known example is 'The Silence of the Lambs'. In it, the character Hannibal Lecter is a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a cannibal. His character is both fascinating and terrifying, and the story delves into his mind while also following the investigation into his crimes.

In the story of 'The Count of Monte Cristo', Mercedes can be seen as a kind of 'captive mother' in a sense. After her husband is wrongly imprisoned, she is left in a difficult situation, sort of held captive by the circumstances of society and the actions of the antagonists. She has to fend for herself and her son while dealing with the stigma and challenges that come her way.

Another example is the origin story of the band Nirvana. Kurt Cobain grew up in a small town with a troubled family life. He faced poverty, his parents' divorce, and a general sense of alienation. When he started Nirvana, they were part of the underground music scene, facing a lot of resistance from the mainstream. They had to play in small, often unappreciated venues. Cobain's own struggles with depression and addiction were also part of the band's origin story, which was filled with a lot of the rawness and intensity that can be considered hardcore.

The 'Atuk' movie had a troubled production. The lead actor John Candy passed away during pre - production, which was a huge setback. However, they tried to recast but faced many difficulties. There were also issues with the script and the overall vision for the film. As time went on, more problems piled up, and eventually, the film was abandoned. It shows how the death of a key actor can start a chain of events that leads to a film not being made.
