Answer: This story's central idea is that Paul revere saved the towns. The structure of the poem is comprised of figurative language that helped get the author's point across, for example in paragraph 3 the text stated: "The Somerset, British man-of-war : A phantom ship, with each mast and spar Across the moon, like a prison-bar, And a huge black hulk, that was magnified, By its own reflection in the tide.", That figurative language emphasized the author's point of view.
