    Outcasts The Ballade of the Outcasts is a poem that shows the real life roles of ordinary people. The author starts off with the men. He suggests that men lie with the wolves.

In the poem ‘On The Grasshopper and The Cricket’ by John Keats‚ the poet seems at a first glance to just to be describing a grasshopper and a cricket and how they inhabit a garden and the kitchen of a home respectively.
