Coledrige and Shelley Post

1) In the poen Kubla Khan imigination is exaulted, an well a many other poems written by the Romantics. The poem contains great imagrey which allows the readerto paint a picture in their mind of everything that is written. There is great imagrey as far as scene discription is concerned. Coledrige goes from expaling a beautiful place, to a dark and gloomy place. I believe that Coledrige is trying to say that your imagination can take you anywhere that you want to go. This can either be a good thing or a bad thing. Coledrige is writting to people to let them know to not let their imaginations take over them.

2) There are three main speakers in the poem of Ozymandias. These speakers are : the main narrator of the poem, the traveler, and Ozymandias himself. The first speaker i would consider to be a historian because he talks about the historical aspects. I believe that the traveler is more of an observer of some kind, and he takes in everything around him. He also works close with the main narrator of the poem. Last, I believe Ozymandias is a leader, due to his personality and words. He wants to rule the correct way, unlike how the other rulers are ruling their kingdoms.
