Jeb Brumley Assignment 3

1) Kubla Khan poem

The poem "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge maintains and easy-going tone throughout most of the poem. The narrator describes the palace with an easy-going and somewhat graceful rhythm. The author is able to create this tone through his use of imagery. He paints pictures of "walls and towers" and of "gardens bright with sinuous rills." His consistent tone and his use of imagery help the reader imagine the "stately pleasure-dome."

2) Jackson Pollock quote

I agree with Jackson Pollock's quote the most. It basically says that the message a work of art sends to people is more important than the means in which the message was sent. I think that the quote also says that art comes in many different forms but what the viewer gets out of the art is more important than how the artist conveyed their message.
