The woman freaked me out. she had red lips, blond hair and very white skin. she looked like a dreadful vampire, trying to hunt for me.She had an armada with here and she was ready to attack. Then I saw a ship in the ho risen. It was coming for me. Then the woman jumped of the ship. She came on a surge to gamble with a man for “life-or-death.” Amazingly, the man won but no souls were given. Instead, the woman lift without a trace.How quiet peculiar.

I believe that the most important event is when they discribed how the woman looks because if we didn’t know how she looked looked like, we can’t think of an image of her. It will also makes know us how the other sailors feel like when the see her. This will make me feel like I’ve just seen a vampire. I, personaly, believe this is a negative discription because it is showing us how ugly and evil she is.

“Her lips were red, her locks were yellow as gold, her skin was as white as leprosy.”

“Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down,

‘Twas sad as sad can be ;

And we did speak only to break

The silence of the sea!”

The reason I choose this stanza is because it shows how they want to speak while there is silence around. It also shows that they are sad but don’t want to show it. The reason they feel sad is because they are trapped at sea with no way out and the mariner believed that he couldn’t get to land alive and safe.

“water, water, everywhere. ”

This makes the mariner feel unsafe around the scene he is in. The reason the mariner feels irrational is because he is in the middle of the ocean and is not feeling well. He may be sea sick at times. The good thing is that he can go fishing with out the stress of going to give it to someone.

1a) slimy

“Upon the slimy sea.”

1b) bloody

“The bloody sun, at noon.”

Fathom: don’t know.

Twas: it was.

Woe: deep distress.

“The ice was here, the ice was there, the ice was everywhere.”

The repertion is when they say “hERE”, “thERE” and “everywhERE.”

I have choose this line:

“It cracked and growled and roared and howled.”

The reason I choose this line was because it shows the way the ice is separating. It also shows how it sounded in ways animals would sound like. The mariner may feel scared for the fact that he may be the reason the why the ice started cracking.
