I chose the phrase ‘we hailed it in gods name’
I chose it because it shows that they are relieved by god’s care for them because it symbolises good luck for sailors which is why i thought this line was significant.also this line tells us how they were feeling before the albatross came across
– terrified for their lives, which is what i interpreted from the sentence, because he hailed the bird as if he was saved.
This is also a great description of whats happening because they used ‘hailed’
and you hail a god, but this bird is christian, so it makes it more powerful in this instance.

Luke,
This shows a promising level of analysis but your meaning is slightly ambiguous because of your use of pronouns.
Targets:
To achieve the Discovery badge (http://achieve.community.edutronic.net/stage-two-reading/discovery/) you must clearly identify the figurative device used and make it clear what your pronouns are referring to.
