I'm sorry, this is a short-answer literature forum. We are unable to assist students with essays or other writing assignments. You might want to search the text and look at the reasons for the mariner's foolishness.... why did he kill the albatross? What made him do something that would so infuriate and frighten his shipmates.... think about their reactions.
