Answer:

The albatross is a member of the biological family Diomedeidae. Albatrosses are commonly found in the southern oceans in areas with consistent wind, generally between Antarctica and the southern parts of South America, Africa, and Australia and its surrounding islands. There are seventeen species of albatross, and these birds are known for their unusually large wingspan. The wingspan of some albatrosses can reach up to eleven feet, giving the albatross the largest wingspan of any known bird. While most birds flap their wings in order to fly, albatrosses use a gliding technique. This allows them to cover great distances with little physical exertion. Albatrosses fly over huge areas of ocean and regularly circle the globe. According to statistics from the National Geographic website, “a 50-year-old albatross has flown, at least, 3.7 million miles (6 million kilometers)”. They fly low, close to the ocean, so it is easier for them to reach their food. They eat squid, fish, and crustaceans. In the poem, the mariner states that "the sun came up upon the left," suggesting that the ship is traveling south. This makes sense due to the fact that the albatross is commonly found in the southern oceans.

why is the wedding guest in the Rime of the Ancient Mariner a sadder and wiser man after hearing the mariners story?
Answer:
(
8/25/2009
)
Sadder because it's definitely quite frightening and scary tale of the ancient mariner; his punishment, perennial penance for the sin he committed from which it looked as though he got redemption; but it wasn't in totality. Wiser because the wedding guest after hearing the tale learnt about God's way of delivering justice to the sinful mankind, who like the ancient mariner couldn't understand the equality with which God adored all his creation, and impulsively killed the albatross.
Answer:
(

Answer:

he now feels sorry for the mariner, however it leads him to a better life.
