1] The poem "Kubla Khan" is definately celebrating imagination. The way Coleridge describes the images in the poem helped me as the reader to envision this place he was talking about. He describes the river, gardens and all of the naturistic things he mentions in full detail which enables the reader to really imagine it. I feel as though Coleridge is trying to reach out to the reader's imagination in general due to all of the description and imagery he is using.
2] After reading Shelley's poem, Ozymandias, I was able to depict three voices. All three are describing the scene of the poem in different ways, but all relating to one another. They describe the statue of Ozymandias after it has been destroyed, and the depressing sense that people are being filled with. I was left with a sense that Ozymandias was some sort of leader, considering the statue was made of him. However, the destruction of the statue lead me to believe that he did not have victory of whatever he had been leading. The tone of all three voices expresses who Ozymandias was and what he was looked upon as.
