Task 2: Five examples of emotive language:
1) But tell me, tell me speak again!… How does this set the tone of the poem? Answer: It tells us that he is maybe asking a question and wants to know more.
2) See, brother, see! How graciously she looketh down on him.
Answer: I think as all his crew but him are dead, that maybe he is talking to his dead brother saying how god or someone is looking down on his body.
3) Fly, brother, fly! More high, more high Or we shall be belated.
Answer: I think that he may be telling his brother to fly his soul to heaven or he will be late for some thing.
4) I woke, and we were sailing on ‘Twas night, calm night, the moon was high.
Answer: It says ‘I woke’ so that means he was sleeping. It also says ‘Twas night, Calm night’ means that the night was calm, quiet and probably means that the sea wasn’t choppy or rough and that it was gentle and calm.
5) All fixed on me their stony eyes
Answer: It means that all the dead crew seem as though they are staring with empty eyes at the mariner.
