Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" reflects the belief in the supernatural as a romantic ideal.

It tells the fantastic adventure of a sailor during a long trip in the sea. This begins with the sailor approaching a man who goes to a marriage, asking him to listen to his story.

The story begins with a ship in a quiet trip, but then followed by strong storms. The ship is taken to the south, arriving near the coasts of Antarctica. That's when the crew sees an albatross, good luck omen. However, for no reason, the sailor shoots the bird with his crossbow. The crew is disturbed, blaming the sailor for a future disaster. However, after the weather improves and the fog disappears, the crew changes their mind, congratulating the sailor for his action.

Sailing adrift and suffering from a shortage of water, the crew returns to deposit their anger on the sailor, punishing him to hang the bird as a sign of guilt on his neck. With the passage of time, the ship has a ghostly encounter with death and death-in-life. They play with the dice the life of the crew, being the death-in-life who wins the sailor's soul.

The punishment of seeing the crew perish, causes the sailor to change his attitude and bless the creatures of the sea he meets. It is there where the bird that hung from its neck falls, freeing it from the curse. After this release, the sailor is rescued from the stranded boat where he was and then be forgiven by a hermit, telling him as a penance to tell his story wherever he goes.

“Modern readers will benefit from reading novels such as Rudyard Kipling’s Kim.” Write a short argument either for or against th

Aliun [14]

If you agree with the claim, you might include some of the following points in your answer:

One major purpose of reading literature and literary fiction is to expand one's horizons. A novel such as Kim encourages readers to construct a mental picture or an understanding of a different culture.
While many details may be challenging to understand, readers can always refine their reading of the novel with research about the setting. In the process, they are likely to come away with useful facts or insights.
The novel has a timeless appeal as a coming-of-age story and as a tale of adventure and intrigue.
The novel explores issues of identity in a setting where people of different races mix together. These issues are relevant in today's world.
Novels such as Kim allow readers an opportunity to examine alternative viewpoints on topics of social and historic importance (such as life in a colonized country and the relationship between the rulers and the natives) and compare their viewpoints and attitudes to those of a writer from a different period.

If you disagree with the claim, you might include some of the following points in your answer:

For readers who seek literature that offers insight into their life experience, a novel set in India at the turn of the century lacks relevance.
The enjoyment of reading a novel such as Kim may be significantly diminished because most readers cannot relate to a protagonist with a social identity very different from their own.
Contextual details and topical references in such a novel are likely to be lost on modern readers. They are unlikely to follow plot details that rely on the context. They may also miss important nuances in the writing because of the unfamiliar setting.
Kim is written from the viewpoint of an author who accepted colonization. To modern readers, the writing seems to lack sensitivity to the concerns of people living in a colonized country.
