The Rime Of Ancient Mariner Summary Part The Third

Then the sun rose up out of the sea after the tragic that happened. Sailing along the ocean no bird, no albatross did follow, nor  food or play. The ancient mariner new had done a demonic thing. He stated in front of the crew that he had killed the bird that struck the breeze to pound on their ship. He claimed if a bird ever does a bad thing to us it has to be eliminated. The breeze did blow time by time, and then they got into a section into the silent sea.

Days and days were passed, the ocean was still, each wave gently hit the ship. It was like a calm painting shipped into a gallery. something was making the waves to punch upon the ship. A dark large figure swerving closer , the monster had made a large area of slime upon the ocean. The water like witches oils, suddenly  turned into a burnt green, dark blue and black ocean. Luckily the monster disappeared. In some dreams assured that the spirit of the plague was what had caused that wild creature to come to our ship. In respect the ancient mariner hung the dead albatross around his neck so he knows what he had done.

Time had passed each persons throat had been choked with soot. Everyone was dying of thirst, About 10 minutes later ancient mariner spotted something high above in the sky. it moved and moved, until it had turned into a large shape, the weird shape had followed the ship wherever it would go. with throats cramped with dry lips, ancient mariner bit his arm and sucked his blood. He yelled “a sail, a sail”. Ancient mariner felt ecstatic that that means help. However that ships reflection came on the bright sun, just on sea level, it looked as if the sun was flecked with bars as if  through a dungeons gate was waiting. He saw in the distance two woman on the ship, he questioned is that death of the woman’s mate. He could see her skin was pail white, the nightmare of life and death which shows they had died of slavery or of thirst. They had gambled (both ships) and who ever had won, they would have a better future. They shouted “We have won!, we have won!”. Then they saw something about to happen. In the distance, over the sea, off shot instantly the spectre bark.

he looked side ways he’s blood seemed to sip, he had fear in his heart, he couldn’t believe was he had seen. One after one each person stared at him, he felt he was being cursed. Four times fifty men, dropped down one by one. He just stood their, he said every soul, it passed him by, like the whizz of my crossbow.

 

 

Strong metaphor that I chose:

As if through a dungeon gate he peered: I think this is a strong metaphor. this is because using the phrase “dungeon gate” it describes the boat as being haunted. Another point for the boat being haunted is that a couple stanzas ahead it sais “off shot instantly the spectre bark which tells us it disappeared  in a sudden movement.[this wouldn’t happen to a normal ship]

At one time there was an ancient mariner and the wedding guest, they had a ship for a very important wedding.  As the ship was sailing, everyone cheered along, and had loads of fun. in the middle of nowhere where no one in the world had explored that area, the crew realised that they were stranded, but also surrounded by tons and tons of ice bergs. The ice bergs starting to crack and splitting in half,and everyone was panicking.

The Ancient Mariner saw something flying in the sky round and round their ship. He claimed that the bird was an Albatross. Minutes passed, the bird came on the ship and the crew fed the Albatross. However the bird ate the food as if it never had eaten before. The crew did not know how to escape from the ice bergs, a little time later the Albatross magically made the ice berg split away from the ship allowing the crew and the ship to carry on with their wedding and journey. As the crew were sailing in the middle of nowhere, then came both mist and hard pulling wind which struck the ship. It was a very heavy storm. Strangely the Albatross followed the ship wherever the ship would go. The Ancient Mainer then thought to himself that the Albatross was what caused the storm to struck on the ship.

The next day Ancient Mariner knew he had a crossbow hidden somewhere. Once he found it he aimed and shot it with one arrow. Ancient Mariner knew he had done a hellish thing, He said to the whole crew,’ I had killed the bird because it had caused the breeze to blow and to struck our ship’. Everyone was devastated at what he had done. One week later they had started to feel hungry and very thirsty , but they could do nothing about it.

 As they were sailing along the ocean they saw the water turning blue to dark black. It was then they realised something strange was happening. The water was like witches oil, black and dark green, it was as if something evil was happening to them. And some dreams assured were of the spirit of the dead Albatross. The black and dark green creature followed and followed the ship. The crew were so thirty their mouths felt as if they were dripping from the sun. instead of wearing a cross the Ancient Mariner hung the Albatross around his neck. it had looked and felt so evil for him but still he didn’t care.

The verse I chose:

And I had done a hellish thing,

And it would work them woe:

For all averred, I had killed the bird,

that made the breeze to blow.

AH! Wretch! said they, the bird to slay,

that made the breeze to blow.

 

New verse:

And I hade done a demonic thing,

And it would work them suffering,

For all that maintain, I had eliminate the bird,

That made the breeze to pound,

AH! Wretch!, said they, the bird to execute,

that made the breeze to pound.

I chose this stanza because it is very effective and describes why he shot the bird. He shot the bird because he thought that the albatross would be against them. We can also say that he shot the albatross because that bird caused the breeze to pound towards their ship.
