Question

If you've read Paul Revere's Ride please help with these questions. I've read it but I found it difficult to understand so that's why I need help.

1. What are the differences between the historical account and the story that Longfellow tells? Explain at least two differences.

2. How do Longfellow's factual inaccuracies establish Revere as the hero of an American mythology or legend?

3. In this poem, Longfellow establishes a tone of deep reverence. How does he accomplish this tone and why is it important?
