Explanation:
"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", by William Carlos Williams, is a poem that describes a painting by Pieter Brueghel. The painting depicts the mythological character Icarus falling from the sky into the ocean as his wax wings are melted by the sun.

This excerpt from "Broken Chain" includes details that could illustrate a paragraph about conflict, internal conflict actually:
1) He liked what he saw until he smiled and realized for the first time that his teeth were crooked, like a pile of wrecked cars. He grew depressed and turned away from the mirror.
