can you make an outline for my research paper?

Question

please make an outline for the topics ode, elegy and ballad

Answer 1

Ode [all quotations are from Holman, 1972; the following are on p.363]:
1. Definition: "elaborate lyric"; "dignified theme and language", "imaginative and "intellectual in tone"; "originally (= a Greek form), the ode was choral";
2. form: division into strophes (= stanzas); "more complicated than most of the lyric types";
3. "in English poetry, there are three types of ode: the Pindaric (regular), the Horatian or homostrophic, and the irregular type" [check Holman´s book for the definitions of each one; or, maybe, Google];

Elegy (Holman, idem: 183)
1. " a sustained and formal poem setting forth the poet's meditations upon death or another solemn theme"; "the meditation often is occasioned by the death of a particular person, but it may be a generalized observation or the expression of a solemn mood";
2. "a classical form, common to both Latin and Greek literatures"; "originally signified almost any type of serious, subjective meditation on the part of the poet";
3. "the Elizabethans used the term for love poems, particularly complaints";
4. notable English elegies: Chaucer's "The Book of the Duchess", Donne's "Elegies", Tennyson's "in Memoriam" and also Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" (American);
5. "these poems indicate a variety of method, mood, and subject which is included under the term elegy".

Ballad (Holman, idem: 52)
1. "a form of verse to be sung or recited and characterized by its presentation of a dramatic or exciting episode in simple narrative form";
2. "F. B. Gummere describes the ballad as 'a poem meant for singing, quite impersonal in material, probably connected in its origin with the communal dance, but submitted to a process of oral tradition among people who are free from literary influences and fairly homogeneous in character'";
3. "though the ballad is a form still much written, the so-called 'popular ballad' in most literatures belongs to the early periods before written literature was highly developed";
4. ballads "still appear [...] in isolated sections and among illiterate and semi-literate peoples":
(A) in America: "the folk of the southern Appalachian mountains have maintained a ballad tradition" as have the cowboys of the western plains";
(B) in Australia: "the 'bush' ballad is still vigorous and popular";
(C) in the West Indies: "the 'Calipso' singers produce something close to the ballad with their impromptu songs";

Origin of the ballad: "Debate still rages as to whether the ballad originates with an individual composer or as a group or communal activity. Whatever the origin, the folk is, almost in every country, one of the earliest forms of literature".

Answer 2

That really is asking alot don't you think? Now if this is a research paper you will actually need some research and sources for your answers. Odds are without those you won't get a verry good grade anyway. Plus you could probably do this on your own before anyone else does it for you.

Ballad
Tells a developed story
4 line stanzas which rhyme
Often put to music for lyrics

eukei was a slacker
she didn't write a paper
went to yahoo answers
and now no one will save her

Answer 3

The first sentence of your paper should be used as your guideline or outline for your research paper. Your sentence should be longer than the example and can give more reasons for more parts of the paper. For example (please note this is not factual just an example) The Catholic Church takes a harsh view on capital punishment because man does not have the right to take life. Your first part of the paper would be support as to why they take a harsh view. i.e. church doctrine etc. and your references. Part two would be why man does not have this right and cite references. Your conclusion would support your theory or sentence and cite references. Now I would use more than one reference and cite examples from not just church "papwerwork" but examples from the news and hearings etc.
