The similarity is that they both have 14 lines. The differences are mostly regarding form and rhyme. Namely, Petrarchan sonnet has 14 lines, where the first 8 lines (or an "octave) has the rhyme scheme ABBA ABBA, and the last 6 lines (or a sestet) has a varying rhyme scheme, but usually CDECDE or CDC CDC. On the other hand, a Shakespearean sonnet also has 14 lines, which are divided into three quatrains (4 lines) and one couplet (2 lines). The rhyme scheme in the quatrains is ABAB CDCD EFEF, and the final couplet GG. <span />
By not using any punctuation. I hope this helps:)
<span>Ballads and epics are forms of verse which are often narrative.
Ballads are dancing songs. Traditional ballads emphasize central dramatic
event, and recount comic or heroic stories. Epics on the other hand are lengthy narrative poems
concerning serious subjects like details of heroic stories or deeds and events
important to a nation or culture.</span>
Both contains the elements of a narrative.
There are many similarities and differences between the book version
of War of the Worlds and the movie version. One main difference between
the two stories was the place in which the Martians landed first. In the book
the Martians landed in England first, but in the movie the Martians landed in
California. Another difference was the time period in which the stories took
<span>place. In the novel it was a few years from the end of the 19th century. </span>
While in the movie World Wars I and II had already passed. Last, the
weapons used to try to stop the Martians were different because of the
different time periods. In the movie an atomic bomb was dropped on the
<span>invaders but in the book all mankind used was cannons and rifles. </span>
<span>Despite the differences in the stories there were also many similarities. </span>
When a streak of light ran across the sky and crashed into the earth the
people in both stories had thought is was a meteor. Many people were
curious about the meteors and soon found out that the meteors were the
invading Martians. When the Martians came out of their cylinders in both
stories they attacked the first humans they saw with their deadly heat rays. In
the movie and the novel our most powerful weapons had no effect on the
foreign creatures. Finally, when the fate of mankind seemed doomed forever
the Martians in both stories died from a bacteria in the atmosphere that they
were not immune to. As you can see there are many similarities and
differences between the movie version of War of the Worlds and the book
<span>version. </span>
