Question

Write a 2-3 paragraph response that analyzes the differences between the structure and form of the short story The Drummer Boy of Shiloh by Ray Bradbury and the poem The Drummer Boy of Shiloh that is based on the ballad by William Hays.

Answer 1

The short story "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh" features a prose format and a sequential structure, while the poem features a verse form and a descriptive structure.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• The short story has a prose format because it presents paragraphs, with a narrator and characters that are intrinsic characteristics of prose.
• The poem, in turn, has a format in verses, which are organized into stanzas to get its message across to the reader.
• The short story presents a sequential structure, where it presents a sequence of events that involve how Drummer Boy acted in the middle of the war and how he was important to the soldiers.
• The poem has a descriptive structure, where it describes how the Drummer Boy acted.

Thus, we can say that even if the texts have the same theme and plot, they can be completely different due to their structure and format.
