Three messages to from Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
To begin, coldride Has write many poems but all of them are basedon dreams. Dreams can teach you a lot about life. In his purseptive. The rime of the ancient mariner was based on o dream. Walking corpse rolled the ship towards shore. Wait that can’t happen. Let’s start from the beginning of the story.
First of all, this old man stopped this guys who was as psyched about this party. He told him a story how he would he got get forgiveness. This guys went on vacation with his women to the Pacific Ocean. As they rolled out towards the ocean they saw the beauty of the ocean. Until one day he sees albertrous he sock him dead. The times were all gone and there was no wind. They sailed to far south and got stuck I the ice. There was no ice so they were stuck. The crew didn’t have any food or water. They thought the reason why the tides were low was because mariner shot this bird. For punishment he had to hang a rotten bird from his neck. One by one they started to all die.one day this man started to pray for help and direction right then and there the bird that was …show more content…

We all have a purpose here on earth. In this poem it teaches us that we need to treat nature with respect. “For all averred, I had killed the bird”. This is saying the man had killed the bird. It was a very innocent bird. We should leave nature alone. It hasn’t done any harm to you. We all need to realize this.” He who prayeth best, who lovest best both man and bird and beast”. This means that we need to turn to God for help. This will help us out a lot in life. This old man had told this story to the man went home after the story. When he woke up the next day he felt wiser and more sad. Why is this? The reason why I think that the man woke up wiser beasuse he knew something he didn’t know before. His story can be an inspiration to us because we can learn from his mistakes and not make the same

  • Summary Of Cautionary Tale Of Girls And Birds Of Prey By Sandy Longhorn

    207 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the narrative poem “Cautionary Tale of Girls and Birds of Prey” the author, Sandy Longhorn, tells the story of a young girl who is afraid of a hawk, and her inconsiderate father who doesn’t take her concerns seriously. The story shows how her father is determined to get rid of her fear of the hawk, because he thinks it is both foolish and childish. The daughter very well knows the capability of the hawk, however her father doesn’t acknowledge it until it is too late. In the poem, Longhorn uses alliteration and rhyme to help explore the theme of how being inconsiderate towards others can in the end hurt you as much as it hurts them. The poem takes place on a little farm where the girl and her father live with all of their livestock.

  • report on letters from a father

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    To briefly summarize this poem, I believe that the poem could be separated into three parts: The first part is composed in the first and second letters, which stress on the negative emotions towards the miserable pains, illnesses that the parents are baring, and also their hatred of the birds. The second part, I believe will be the third and fourth letters, which talks about the birds’ fights and the visiting lady from the church. And the last part, starts from the fifth letters to the rest of them, which mainly describe the harmonious life between the parents and those birds.

    In the 1798 and the 1817 text of the, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, There are certain changes. Changes that effect the poem and the way that the reader sees the poem. Some of these changes include reading devices called glosses. There are many reasons for the glosses to be put into the poem. One of the reasons is to help the reader interpret lines in the poem that can be confusing. These glosses are a brief interpretation of the stanza, so that the reader will understand it the way that Coleridge intended them to. An example of this is:

    During the 18th century, two great companion; William Wordsworth collaborated together to create Lyrical Ballad; one of the greatest works of the Romantic period.  The two major poems of Lyrical Ballad are Wordsworth’s “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey” and Coleridge’s “Frost at Midnight.” Even though these two poems contain different experiences of the two speakers, upon close reading of these poems, the similarities are found in their use of language, the tone, the use of illustrative imagery to fascinate the reader’s visual sense and the message to their loved ones.

  • Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

    1496 Words  | 3 Pages

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge's “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” seems like a simple story of a man lost at sea and defeating the odds, but if you hone in on the visual and aural details you see that it’s much more. The whole story revolves around the theme of religious transformation and Coleridge uses these visual and aural symbols to convey and drive home this theme.

  • Analysis Of Pablo Neruda

    1196 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although this poem is reverent to the yellow bird, it is undoubtedly about its death and burial; it is a poem about beauty that has been “extinguished”. The “electric, excited, murmurous”(36-38) bird whose beauty pertained to its “defiance”(54) was entrapped, restricted, forced to go against its natural ways. Even when Neruda mentions the beauty of the bird, he does not forget to attach the reminder that it no longer exists or that it was taken away from the bird. The characteristics, the “yellow flashes, the black lightning”(lines 10-11), that once made the bird one with nature were covered in dirt when it was buried. Readers can imagine not only the bird encaged and dead, but also the way Neruda associated its color and way of being to one of nature 's occurrences. So when the reader imagines the bird buried, they also see yellow and black lightning. And the inevitable noise and the feeling of fearful amazement that comes with it. The burial of a bird is also a reminder of the mood at people’s funerals. Moreover, many people keep birds as pets trapped in a small cage rather than let it be free where it 's supposed to be. Many times, the captors are aware of the cruelty but still wish to selfishly and without benefits hold on to their beauty and not let it go. Intertwined in

  • Eagle Poem

    In the poem by Joy Harjo called “Eagle Poem,” Harjo talks about prayer and life and how they revolve around mother-nature. She suggests that while being one with nature, we feel we are in a place in which we haven’t imagined and the things in which we would love to do in that magnificent and calming place. After one reads the poem, he/she enjoys the lyrical type of it. This is because “Eagle Poem” sticks to one idea and extends it throughout the entire poem. For instance, it talks about prayer, nature, and animals from start to finish.

    Rime of the Ancient Mariner: Wrong Actions The idea of people making wrong actions and having to pay for them afterwards is not new.   The Christian religion centers itself around the confession of sins done by men or women.   Luckily, they have the power to repent and do penance to receive God’s forgiveness.    God sends people this power and people around the world mimic this cycle of crime, punishment, repentance, and reconciliation in court systems and other penal codes.

  • Imagery In Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven

    979 Words  | 2 Pages

    He is almost sleeping while doing this. This creates a very powerful visual image. It epitomizes how the people left to grieve act. Many people stricken by death want to be left alone and bottle themselves up. The first few lines of the poem illustrate how deeply in sorrow the man is. This image should affect everyone. It should make the reader sympathize or even empathize with the man. Another main way he uses imagery is through the black bird or the raven. The presence of the bird is a bad omen. It is supposed to be followed by maleficent things. The bird is used to symbolize death figuratively and literally. The bird only says one word the entire poem. It repeats “nevermore.” This word can be interpreted multiple ways each time it is said. It is also possible that the bird is not talking. It is possible that the bird is an image created by

  • An Analysis Of Sympathy, By Paul Laurence Dunbar

    732 Words  | 2 Pages

    The poem uses alliteration in lines 3 and 5 to create a sense of serenity in the landscape is being described. The end rhyme seems to add stress to the feelings presented. The main rhyme scheme is a-b-a-a-b-c-c. The rhyme scheme in this poem helps with the meter. The meter of the poem is an iambic pentameter, which, when in beat with the words the speaker so cleverly chose, adds to the urgency of the bird that is trying to escape his cage. The use of punctuation on the last sentence of each stanza gives the feeling that the speaker is screaming this to emphasize how he feels with the bird. The grammar of the poem is present tense, making it as if the reader could see the bird, in his struggle, right before the reader’s eyes. This pulls strings in the reader and makes them feel guilty for watching the bird and not doing anything to help

  • A Bird Came down the Walk by Emily Dickinson

    1783 Words  | 4 Pages

    “A Bird came down the Walk,” was written in c. 1862 by Emily Dickinson, who was born in 1830 and died in 1886. This easy to understand and timeless poem provides readers with an understanding of the author’s appreciation for nature. Although the poem continues to be read over one hundred years after it was written, there is little sense of the time period within which it was composed. The title and first line, “A Bird came down the Walk,” describes a common familiar observation, but even more so, it demonstrates how its author’s creative ability and artistic use of words are able to transform this everyday event into a picture that results in an awareness of how the beauty in nature can be found in simple observations. In a step like narrative, the poet illustrates the direct relationship between nature and humans. The verse consists of five stanzas that can be broken up into two sections. In the first section, the bird is eating a worm, takes notice of a human in close proximity and essentially becomes frightened. These three stanzas can easily be swapped around because they, for all intents and purposes, describe three events that are able to occur in any order. Dickinson uses these first three stanzas to establish the tone; the tone is established from the poet’s literal description and her interpretive expression of the bird’s actions. The second section describes the narrator feeding the bird some crumbs, the bird’s response and its departure, which Dickinson uses to elaborately illustrate the bird’s immediate escape. The last two stanzas demonstrate the effect of human interaction on nature and more specifically, this little bird, so these stanzas must remain in the specific order they are presented. Whereas most ...
