1. Coleridge's attitude towards the uneducated man could be seen as derogatory, as if those who are uneducated do not contribute to society or receive from it.
2. Coleridge's choice of word-choice, details, and sentence structure help reveal his attitude towards the uneducated man by using compound sentences through semicolon to further his point on uneducated and how they have no sense of imagination or voluntary appreciation.. As seen in the following quote, "... processes and results of imagination, the great part of which have no place in the consciousness of uneducated man...".
3. Rewrite the following sentence to change the tone into contempt for academic elitism: "The best part of human language, properly called, is derived from reflection on the acts of the mind itself."
Rewritten: One of the worst parts of human language, which is how man reflects on the acts in the mind itself.
