Epic

EPIC
Definition: Long narrative poems that tell stories of heroes

Example: By the shore of Gitchie Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam,
In the pleasant Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited. 


Significance:  Writing a story about a hero in a essay way is kind of boring, so if we write in a poem, it will be more interesting and easier to understand.
