Hi there :)

So the song ‘Wreck Me’ would be considered a ballad because a ballad is a poem or song narrating a story in short stanzas. Hope this helps!!!

Answer: Charles Dickens's "The Song of the Wreck" might be considered a ballad because it is a narrative poem spoken in the third-person, and it features ballad stanzas of four lines—rhymed <em>abab—</em> as well as dialogues, a simple language, and a tragic story.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little further on the answer, it can also be added that the poem, or "song," relates the tragic story of a shipwreck. A seaman rescued a child who had been onboard, and he took care of him until he died, not before asking a "trusty friend" to continue looking after him. The friend took care of him, but the "helpless child" eventually died too. Note that the second and fourth lines of every stanza rhyme (<em>raved</em>, <em>saved</em>, <em>thrown</em>, <em>alone</em>, and so on) and that throughout the poem there are several dialogues, which make it more vivid and engaging.

Answer:

Explanation:

Atticus: His biggest fear is letting Jem and Scout know about the hatred in the world because it will get rid of their innocence. His strength is that he is a man who is full of courage. He does what is right even if it is unpopular and even if he loses in the end. His only weakness is that he is keen on keeping the letter of the law and forgets that the spirit of the law is more important.

///

Scout: One could argue that her biggest fear is that she will have to grow up, she acts as defiant as she can when people try to push her towards adulthood. Her greatest strength is her honesty. She is not shy about asking questions and she speaks directly. At the beginning, Scout's greatest weakness is her lack of self control. She lets her emotions take over and stays defiant no matter what. She eventually learns how to control some of these emotions by the end of the book.

///

Jem: His biggest fear is that Atticus will never see him as an adult. Atticus is the  role model that he strives to be. His impulsive nature is his weakness. He acts on his emotions throughout the book. Once at Miss Dubose's house and again at Tom's trial. His mortality grows to be one of his biggest strengths as he can see the awful racism and discrimination in the town while Scout can not as her eyes are clouded by a rose glass.

///

Boo: His greatest fear is being seen, he has many issues that are spoken about him and many people believe them. His greatest strength is his perception. He has a wise mind and he knows exactly when to do something and when not to. his greatest weakness is his shyness. He yearns for a friend and people to connect to, but he cannot speak out no matter how much he tries. Instead he hides in the shadows and tries to use his actions to represent his emotions without owning up to them.
