Hi, I’m going to tell you what I liked and disliked about The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. A few things I liked from this ‘book’ were the ghost ship and how the Mariner paid the price for killing the poor, innocent albatross. Things I didn’t like about this book were the way it was written, sometimes it was so hard to understand that I honestly just skipped over completely and proceeded to throw the paper across the room; the fact that the poor wedding guest had to stand and listen to this old man yap for the whole wedding was honestly the saddest part, like let the wedding guest go enjoy himself.
Now, for the recitation… I swear I practiced it, it’s just hard to speak out loud in front of a crowd sometimes. Out of everything we’ve done this term, this was it. This is my #1 opp. I hope we never have to memorize and recite anything again (I know we will have to but I pray we don’t).
