The answer is C: Parable.

 This story of <em>The Boy Who Cried Wolf,</em> <em>Wolf</em> contains a message with a moral lesson in the line of "a liar is not believed even when he tells the truth". This  is a parable, a <em>figure of speech</em>, which uses a short story that expresses an overall point, a moral or spiritual lesson. The word parable comes from the Greek, meaning "comparison."<em> It is an easy way to explain complicate lessons.</em>

This seems more like an opinionated question, and less of one that has a real answer. However, I would choose B because it would make a follow up question easier, and it seems like it’s more of what the teacher would be looking for.

HELP! IF YOUVE DONE THIS COULD YOU HELP!?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

1.  Both of these depict the consumption of pride as a story. The hidden lesson of these stories is that if you don't learn to be humble and assert yourself, you will burn in the sun if you fly too close to it. In Ovid's story, pride causes loss. In the story, Daedalus builds wings for himself and his son and then loses his son when he flies too high and dies. Both Ovid's story and Brueghel's painting deal with human pride. In Ovid's story, pride and arrogance are weak shields. It may have far-reaching consequences. It was with great pride that Daedalus created wings for himself and his son, but his pride was dashed when he discovered his son dead from too high a flight. Brueghel's painting, however, depicts a different kind. It shows people think their suffering matters because they feel important in this world. Unlike in his painting, Icarus' drowning body is barely visible. This represents the value of one person in this world. You are a speck in the grand scheme of things. After they died, the world went on as usual. So, Brueghel's new idea in Ovid's story is people's indifference to others' suffering.

2.  Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus emphasizes that our individual suffering is insignificant in comparison to the entire world, as a single individual is only a grain of sand in comparison to the entire world. The viewer can form his or her own opinion. A powerful vocabulary includes "suffering", "martyrdom", "disaster" and "forsaken". Many readers will agree that they share many ideas.

Second, "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is about indifference. The poet uses the mythological character Icarus to discuss human indifference. It was spring and a farmer was plowing his field when Icarus fell.

The painting depicts a tiny splash of Icarus falling into the ocean, which we know from the title of the work. The rest of the scene is calm and quiet as if nothing happened. It seems to grieve at the idea that our individual suffering isn't more important in Auden's poem.

3. William Carlos Williams' poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" focuses on the fact that if it doesn't happen to me, I don't care. Even if an event is significant in the eyes of future generations, it may go unnoticed if it has no immediate impact. It's not surprising that two poets have addressed this issue, but their portrayals of the drama differ slightly. However, in Pieter Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, the person in front is wearing long sleeves, which does not emphasize spring. When Icarus fell from the sky in the poem “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus,” a farmer was plowing his field. Also, the painting depicts ships and sheep, but William Carlos Williams' poem “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” does not.

4. Both W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams describe Pieter Brueghel's painting "Landscape with The Fall of Icarus." Both poets describe the scene in detail. Both poets use imagery to describe the painting's scene.

But the poets differ in other ways:

  • Auden presents his poem in free verse, with two long stanzas devoid of rhyme. The poem is divided into six stanzas, each with three lines.
  • Auden's reflections on the painting's depiction of suffering and routine are more delicate and meditative. In the second stanza, he contemplates his psyche. Williams, on the other hand, is concise. He informs the reader and describes the painting with examples. He mentions Icarus from the first stanza but doesn't focus on how he or others felt at the time.
  • Auden felt the painting and tells the reader about it. Williams is a snoop. He describes what he saw without revealing his inner feelings or thoughts.

These lines are:
