ballad of john burns of gettysburg
by bret harte
have you heard the story that gossip’s tell
of forms of gettysburg?—no?
ah, well,
one is the glory that hero earns,
another the story of poor john burns
he was the fellow who won renown,—
the only man who didn’t back down
when the rebels rode through his native town;
but held his own in the fight next day,
when all his townsfolk ran away
so raged the battle. you know the rest
how the rebels, beaten and backward pressed,
broke at the final charge, and ran.

Explanation:

Answer:

(First drop - down) more emotional
(Second drop - down) use of figurative language and poetic devices (or other relevant literary element like narrative voice, depending on the context of the poem and historical account; if we assume a common analysis, for example, if the poem uses vivid imagery and emotional language while the historical account is more factual, then the element could be "use of poetic devices and emotional language")

(Note: Since the full context of the historical account and the poem's specific elements aren't fully provided, the second answer is a general example. If there were specific options in the drop - down, the answer would be adjusted accordingly. But based on typical literary analysis of poem vs historical account, the first blank is likely "more emotional" as poems tend to have more emotional tone than factual historical accounts, and the second blank relates to literary elements like figurative language, emotional diction, etc. that create the emotional tone.)
