We discussed Ballads in class today, as well as looked at a couple of examples. Can anyone name any well known ballads, whether they be songs, children's literature, etc.
What do you think is so appealing about ballads in general?

Your participation in postings, pictures, links and your responses to other student's posts will determine your final grade. The goal of this blog is to supplement what has been discussed, read or written in class. Occasionally I will post a query or task with the expectation that you will eagerly respond. The same respect and diplomacy that is expected of you in the classroom extends to blogging space.

I think ballads are appealing due to the fact that they are fairly easy to read, and they tell a story of some sort. Obviously it depends on the subject, and they quality of writing of the ballad, but generally they are good to read an enjoy.
ballads are fun to read because they are more than just metaphors. but i think they would be more difficult to write. but i enjoy the stories they tell.
I think the story telling aspect, tied with the sing song of a rhyme scheme makes it fun to read/listen to. Harder to write, but people still like them.
