Task
In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the Mariner is a dynamic character. This means that he changes throughout the poem/story because of events that have happened to him. Such changes to dynamic characters can be for the good or for the bad. Think of a circumstance in your life that caused a change in you. You do not have to tell about the actual event, but discuss your change. Was it for the good? Or for the bad? What about you changed—attitude, personality, way of thinking about life, friends, etc.? Write a well-written 5-7 sentence paragraph. You may also compare or contrast yourself to the Mariner to make a better point. Post your response to the 7.04 Change of Character Discussion. Be sure to comment on at least two other classmates’ posts. Fill in the Comparison Chart for Wordsworth and Coleridge after you have read The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. You should be able to find the answers in the Learn sections of lessons on Wordsworth and Coleridge. If you cannot find an answer there, you are welcome to Google it. When you are finished, submit your completed chart to the 7.04 Wordsworth and Coleridge Dropbox. Read through Coleridge’s poem again—The Rime of the Ancient Mariner— and answer the 7.04 Study Questions. Submit your completed work to the 7.04 Coleridge Dropbox. |
