Part the third summary

October 17, 2016 / / 1 Comment

 

The first point I am going to write about is that the Mariner is stuck in the middle of an unknown area and now that they are stuck, the Mariner is forced to suck his own blood to stay alive. Secondly, when all hope is lost, they see a boat in the distance but it has women and another figure that looks like death. Thirdly, she says I have won and then it suddenly goes dark while the boat vanishes. Then finally, something weird goes around the sheep that crew on the ship are dropping dead on the ship but it hasn’t yet happened to the Mariner. The metaphor I am going to talk about is ‘Fear at my heart, as at a cup, My life blood seemed to slip. I think this is saying like he is not actually drinking but it is like he is drinking his own despair.

Wonder

I have a few minutes to spare so I thought why not post something to make sure I completely understand what I am doing. I am reading a new book called Wonder. So far- even though I have only read 21 pages-  it is very good. The book is about a boy named August who hates his face and has had many surgeries on it. He is 10 and is going to school for the first time. He is unsure but likes the teachers and decides to go. This is a book by R.J Palacio and I strongly recommend it even though I have hardly read it.

The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Summary

October 8, 2016 / / 1 Comment

I think the first thing that happened was that the mariner came to land and a wedding guest is forced to listen to what he has to say. Next a came a huge storm and an albatross appeared. It seems that it was giving them good luck. The third big point was that the Mariner shit the albatross with a crossbow.The fourth thing is that all the good things that happened began to stop. Fifth, the wind stopped completely and the boat wasn’t stuck in an ocean on man knew existed. They had a small food and water supply and started to hilusinate. Finally they were at the point that they couldn’t even talk but the Mariner carried the dead bird on a necklace.

Homework part the second

Day after day, day after day,

We suck, nor breath, nor motion,

As idle as a painted ship,

Upon a painted Ocean.

I think this is a metaphor that is trying to say the sea and the ship are still. In a painting there are still waves, but the author who wrote this stanza -Taylor Coleridge- is trying to say that the water of which they were sailing on was still like a painting but still had a few waves.
