listen to the story. The old man than starts to say we sailed south to the south pole. We then started to leave from shore getter further from the light mouse and the big white cross the poem is using images to show that the ship is sealing away from shore and started to heading to the south pole. The old man then said that they saw some big pieces of ice the size of a island. He said that they were green and very huge. The started to feel no wind pushing the ship for a day. The people in the ship was also thirsty it was like a week that they had the last drop of water. From a distance they saw a big ship it had three wind mill and the guys from the ship was so thirsty that they needed to bit his lif for the blood would wet his mouth and then he was able to scream there's a ship right ahead. The people from the ship was excited because they could now get water. Death was the one in the other ship. He got closer and then said I'll let you all free if you win me a game of cards. There was one person on the ship that knew how to play cards and he played the game and death one and every fell down and dead in a second except the Mariner, he was the one that killed the albatross. So he stayed alive he described how they all fell down at the same time and they all started to stare at him.
To Continue, the mariner was the only one that was alive after the game of cards and when they all fell they also staerded at him he was all scared and he had to stay on the ship with all his crew staring at him. He was frightened and he also didn't sleep for two days because everyone was staring at him. He stayed awake for 2 days. When he was sleeping he was dreaming that it was raining and when he woke up it started to rain and he put out buckets for the rain could come out and save it for later. The bird was a curse because the Mariner killed a non harmless creature just to show off with his friends hi shooting skills. He then started to steer on the water and he sw some snake fishes that was green. He said they are so beautiful. This shows that he is regretting the things he had done in killing the albatross and that bird brought him bad luck. That's why he weared it around his neck because he is regretting in killing the bird. The the bird fell in the ocean when he was steering in the water for hours. They bird then fell down into the water. The meaning of the bird falling in the water is to show that the bird finally is going to rest in peace.
In addition, In the story everything happened because of a curse of the albatross that made the people from the ship die except the Mariner he was the only one alive and he was the one that was alive. The theme of the story was to prove that killing a harmless animal a bad thing to do especially just to show off. The story has many conflicts that the mariner faces because of the dead albatross that curse him and his crew mates that were in the ship. The albatross is the symbol of not killing a harmless animal that was just flying in the sea. This shows to not be cruel with any animal that comes up in your way because it's not the right thing to do. The old man that stopped the wedding guest had to tell the young man the story because I believe it was him the Mariner in the story, who survived from death. The only way he survived because when he saw the snakes in the ocean he felt that what he did was the bad thing to do and the next day he fell asleep and it started to rain hard. That shows that now he has a chance in surviving and not dieing like the rest of his ship. The people that die will now not come alive and be able to repeat what the Mariner did to the Albatross.
In conclusion, The story the Rime of the Ancient mariner is mostly about not killing any harmful animal that god has created.
It proves that if you do kill a harmless animal something is going to happen to. Like in this story everyone from the ship died because of a curse that the Albatross death and cause the curse to happen. At the end of the story the wedding guest finally decided to vote go to his family member wedding because he went home and started to think of all the things he have done in the past. He also became more knowledgeable in not killing any harmful animal. He then will pass the story and try to not make people do the same mistake the Mariner
did.
