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.

timurjin [86]
Reyna and her older sister Hylla were born to the war goddess Bellona and Julian Ramírez-Arellano in San Juan, Puerto Rico.Millenia before Reyna and Hylla were born, Bellona declared that the Ramírez-Arellano family would play pivotal roles in many battles. Hylla described their father, saying that he used to be gentle before Reyna was born. When he came back from the war in Iraq, where he was a soldier, he was never the same. He never got over the thinking about the war, and as Reyna grew up, he changed. He saw enemies everywhere and made their house a fortress. When he had become so paranoid that he had been reduced to a ghost, or a mania, he tossed a chair at Hylla. Reyna was so angry that she attacked him with an Imperial Gold saber, and not knowing it was Imperial Gold, she vaporized him.
