If ANYONE studied this peom for AS/A Level, please help.
I have a 500 word essay due in on Monday on this poem. The question was Discuss Kulba Khan in terms of its content, style and structure why you believe in is relevance for your own age group.
I have a few ideas and I am trying to put together my first intro paragraph. Would someone mind commented on it for me and give help?
The last essay I did for this teacher (I have 2) I had a C+ for and he was disappointed (hello I had a C at GCSE - what did he expect an A grade essay?????)
Either PM or MSN Messsage me ingore the busy sign I'm doing that to stop my best friend who wants to discuss today's shift at work annoying me.
Hugs and Kisses to all who help and reply!

Well when he wrote "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" he certainly was. It wouldn't surprise me if he was similarly "under the influence" while writing Kubla Khan

He had a dream about this mystical land, woke up and started writing in Xanadu etc and then someone knocked on the door and disturbed him. That's why the poem stops where it does - by the time his guest had gone, he couldn't remember the rest of what he was going to write. :-(

So far I have
Kubla Khan is one of Coleridge’s most famous poems. He said was written about a hallucinatory dream he experienced after he had taken opium which he was addicted to. During the writing of this poem, Coleridge said he was interrupted by a visitor. After this interruption, he was unable to recall the rest of the vision of his opium dream.
Kubla Khan is a chant-like adverbial poem, effectively using varying paces, resulting from the use of iambic tetrameter and alternating rhyme schemes. Written in tetrameter, the first stanza alternates between staggered rhymes and couplets with a rhyme scheme of ABAABCCDEDE. The second stanza expands into tetrameter following roughly the same rhyming pattern which also expands while the third stanza tightens into tetrameter and rhymes ABABCC. Finally, the fourth stanza continues the tetrameter of the third and rhymes ABCCBDEDEFGFFFGHHG.
And I only managed that with help!!

In the end I didn’t even answer the question on poetry so I suppose it’s pretty irrelevant anyway
