Answer 2

Which statement is not true of epic poems?

A. An epic poem is best characterized as a poem that expresses the thoughts, observations, and feelings of the speaker.

Epic poetry focuses on a hero in a life-changing journey, accomplishing grand acts and combating menacing forces, presented in a narrative structure.

Epic poetry is also objective and it does not present the internal conflict of the protagonist as it focuses on the external conflicts, experiences, events, and deeds he or she encounters on the quest.
