Did anyone read this article "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" tell me review about that ..I want to do case study on it??

You need to go to school, the word is 'rhyme'

[Rodney Mills]

Sorry, but Hariandro is correct. Samuel Taylor Coleridge did spell it "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." It was better known for its line numbers 119-124 "Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink."

Hareandro:

I have a copy and have read it many times, there are 615 lines in the poem. I suggest you at least borrow a good copy from a good library and make sure it has notes in the back to explain some of the archaic words S.T.C. used. My copy has also in the back: Questions from recent college entrance exams example "What images or pictures, in "the Ancient Mariner" do you remember most vividly." Where as it does not give one the answer to the questions, the questions asked give a good direction in writing a paper, of course you must first read the rather long poem a few time as well. If your object is to find a short cut in writing your paper [cheat], in the US there are books available called "Cliff Notes," which are detailed towards writing papers on about every piece of fine literature and poetry available. I hope this is of help. Happy writing.

Ivan, I think you are correct, just read his other posts.

[Bill Morrison]

One of the best poems of a nautical theme and there are many.

In that case I apologise

[Rodney Mills]

No worries Ivan, I should apologize, it appears he suckered me in. I thought I was helping a future seaman.

I felt he wasn't genuine from his first post but it was JA who nailed him. cheers JC
