The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Part The Seventh
Ancient mariner new it was god who was talking to him, and made all of this happiness happen recently. He kneels down and prays. The Hermit said the planks looked warped, and he could see those sails, Ancient mariners boat was all old and dusty. The hermit was almost as if shocked on how disgusting the ship was. Brown skeletons of leaves that lag the forest brook along. The pilot was scared on how the ship looked, and still they dragged ancient mariner to safety. The boat came closer to the ship and he didn’t stir or drive the boat, then the boat came close underneath the ship, and then straight in a swift movement a sound was heard. Under the water it kept rumbling repetitively, it was louder than thunder. Then suddenly it reached the ship, and split the bay, the ship then went down like lead. he was stunned by the loud thunder and dreadful sound, his body lay afloat, But swift as dreams, he found himself in the pilots boat. Upon the whirl were sank the ship, the boat spun round and round.
The boat had reached some land, and ancient mariner fell down in a fit, the holy hermit then raised him from the ground up, and prayed where he dreamt. And now all in his own country, he stood firmly on the ground like a king. The hermit stepped forth from the boat, and scarcely he could stand as well. Forthwith this frame of his that was wrenched, with a woeful agony, which forced him to begin his tale and then it left him to freedom. Since then, at an uncertain hour the agony returns to him, and until his ghostly tale is told, his heart within him burns. He passes like night, land to land, and with a strange power of speech he knows the man that hears him, and to him he will teach his tale.
What loud uproar that bursts through the door, the wedding guests are there, but in the garden bower the bride and bride mains singing and hark the little vesper bell, which biddeth ancient mariner to the prayer. The wedding guest with a soul that has been alone in a long wide sea. So lonely god himself scarce seemed there to be. To walk together to the kirk with a goodly company and all together to pray. The Mariner, who’s eye is bright, who’s beard with age is hoar, and now the wedding guest turned from the bridegrooms door. He went like one that hath been stunned, and in sense of forlorn, a sadder and wiser man, he rose the morrow morn.
summary of the ancient mariner part the fifth
Ancient mariner suddenly dreamt about the buckets on the deck filled with dew, and then he woke up, and when he woke up it had rained. His throat was almost as if frozen, and his body was drank. In the distance he heard a roaring wind but it didn’t come any near.The sound shook the sea and ship. He saw in the distance one lonely black cloud in the corner pouring rain. Loud lightning strucking the lonely cloud. The loud roaring wind covered the ocean but still never reached the ship.
The dead men on the ship did groan, a noise which spread everything across the ocean. They groaned for longer, and suddenly they stirred, and they all up rose. None of them moved an eye, it had been strange for the ancient mariner even for a dream. he was confused to see dead men rise again as if they hadn’t been dead before. in front of his eyes his brother rose up, knee to knee, and helped him to hold the rope. All the dead men began to try and stir the ship like they usually all did.
Suddenly ancient mariner began to feel something moving the ship softly and smoothly forward coming from the beneath, he thought he it was a spirit. the sun caught his attention when he looked away the ship was moving in a consistent smooth pace. However he felt the ship moving forward and backwards aggressively. Suddenly it made a sudden pound ancient mariner banged his head on the ship wreck and blood flooded his head. The spirit was actually the albatross that the ancient mariner shot with the crossbow.
The 10 lines for poetry by heart:
Day after day , day after day,
we stuck, nor breath nor motion,
as idle as a painted ship,
upon a painted ocean.
the very deep did not, o Christ, that ever should be,
yea, slimy things did crawl with legs,
upon the slimy sea,
about, about in real and rout,
the death fires danced at knight
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]
homework- Blog entry
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.
Homework
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.
Homework
The verse I chose:
Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship,
Yet she sailed softly too,
Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze,
On me alone it blew
My edited verse:
Rapidly, the ship flew,
but still she sailed smoothly too,
pleasantly the breeze came,
finding its way in short fame
The Jungle Book
This book that I’m reading is very interesting and is called The Jungle Book by the author Rudyard Kipling. I think this book brings the nature life with humans and animals. This book is about showing us [the reader],that humans can interact with dangerous animals for example: wolves, bears, panthers and tigers!
One important scene that I’ve read so far is when a man cub[a small baby] walked in front of a pack of wolves, and the wolves just did nothing. The Baby stayed calm and surprisingly started laughing. This shows us that wolves or dangerous animals will not harm or try attack you if you stay calm. The reason why I chose this book is because when you read the blurb, the blurb drags you into the wildlife filled with amazing nature.
