Albatross

(PGA para 6). An albatross is a very rare score to receive and an albatross is actually the name of a really large bird. Although it looks like golf is getting repetitive with their terms being named after winged animals, that is not the case. Albatross was first made public as an official golf term when the word was used for the introduction of the steel shafted clubs by John G Ridland…

Plastic marine debris has become increasingly problematic. Angela Sun, a journalist from California, made a movie called, “Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” The movie is about plastic marine debris and how it affects wildlife. Sun heard from a friend about this giant island in the Pacific Ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Most people believe that the garbage patch is a very large, solid patch of garbage sitting in the Pacific Ocean. They do not know that the patch…

life. In Frankenstein, Shelley writes her very first novel about a man by the name of Victor who tampers with the forces of life by attempting to create a life form. In “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” Coleridge writes about a man who killed an albatross and faced severe consequences. Both stories have a common theme warning against unnatural involvement of humans in the act of giving or taking life. In Frankenstein Mary Shelley writes about an act that foolishly gave life to a being. Victor…

Trouble in Trash People have always used plastic as a number one way to carry most of the people objects or foods. worldwide annually use for grocery bags is about 1 trillion every year.In an article published by the journal science in 2015 conducted an experiment saying that 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in ocean every year. Obviously, that's a great amount of plastic ending up in the ocean and people already have discovered places in the ocean full of plastics just floating in the…

used to personify human beings. Another comparison with both poems is mankind. Mankind is explored in both Kubla Khan and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by placing nature in were instinct might act before reason i.e. when the mariner shoots the albatross. Now the mariner has placed a burden on himself unknowingly. In Kubla Khan the same issue happens when the speaker is forced to conform and belong to a group. Both poems share much similarity such as mood and tone. Both poems tone is heavy &…

This is expressed when the mariner says “Since then, at an uncertain hour/That agony returns/And till my ghastly tale is told/ This heart within me burns” (lines 582-85). As for the mariner, his punishment is to endure immense pain for killing the albatross, a creature part of nature. Only when the Mariner is able to reflect and see the beauty in nature no matter how ugly, he is absolved of his sins. But even after being absolved of his sins, guilt still remains, and because of that the…

In 1798 a well-known poet named Samuel Taylor Coleridge published his poem The Rime of The Ancient Mariner. The poem was contained in a poem collage by Coleridge and William Wordsworth called the Lyrical Ballads. Coleridge is known for the Romantic influence in his writings: “Coleridge achieved wonder by the frank violation of natural laws, impressing upon readers a sense of occult powers and unknown modes of being” (“The Romantic Period: Topics.” The Norton Anthology of English Literature).…

his voyage, he comes across an albatross bird and impulsively kills it with his crossbow. By killing this bird, a symbol of purity, the mariner has offended god and nature. His punishment is to be haunted indefinitely, causing him to spend the rest of his life questioning his actions toward nature, by the spirit who loved the bird, "God save thee, ancient mariner! From the fiends, that plague thee thus! – Why look'st thou so?" "With my crossbow I shot the albatross.” (I.18-20). Coleridge is…

This bibliography was constructed with the aim to provide the appropriate information on the different types of way that humans affect wildlife in New Zealand. Most of the research papers are case studies of the ways that humans influence ecotourism and affect the wildlife in a negative way. Another idea that a lot of the papers hit on is the increasing amount of ecotourism and how it is causing an increased effect to the ecosystem over time. A similarity and reason I chose all these papers…

hundreds of plastic products were washed off to shore which were made a couple of decades ago. Further, it really disturbed me by the effect of plastic on the life of animals and its marine environment. In one scene, it showed how the dead bodies of albatross decomposed but the small pieces of plastic will…
