__Rationale__ This ballad is a narration similar to Romeo and Juliet. A boy and a girl fall in love, even though they are forbidden to be with each other because of the families they come from. This ballad contains incremental repetition. Taylor Swift repeats "Romeo save me" and "it's a love story, baby just say yes." Courage is shown when the couple decides to be together even though they know it is forbidden. Love is definitely a theme in this ballad. The song itself is called "Love Story" and it says, "This love is difficult, but it's real." Dialogue is also a part of this ballad. The dad talks to his daughter, and Romeo and Juliet talk to each other. The ballad is closed with the line, "Cause we were both young when I first saw you" which is also the first line of the song.
