In what ways does the battle of the kegs fulfill the definition of a ballad and a satire

1. It fulfills the definition of a ballad in that it tells a short story in stanzas

2. It fulfills the definition of a satire in that it uses humor to describe the reaction of the British people on seeing the kegs.

Explanation:

A ballad is a short story written in stanzas in a poem or song. Satire is the use of humor or exaggerations to expose the deeds of a person or group of people. The battle of the kegs is a short story in that it tells the story of how the Americans deployed kegs which were meant to explode on the ships of the British Army at Philadelphia on the 6th of January, 1776.

The poem is a satire in that it uses comical scenes to describe the British army and others at the harbor running helter-skelter. Some (like Sir Erskine) had one of their boots in their hands and the other on their foot. It would have been a funny sight for the Americans to behold.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
