In the poem "The Bean Eaters," Brooks describes a couple of old people. She talks about the life they live, and the image is one of simplicity and routine. We learn that the couple is not wealthy, and in fact, they are quite poor. This is the reason they mostly eat beans. The poem is meant to highlight the injustice of poverty, and the sad situation of people like this couple. Brook's use of end rhyme and internal rhyme contributes to this overall meaning. It helps develop the idea of desolation and simplicity that characterizes the couple's existence.

2. What is emphasized in W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" but not in Pieter Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus? Fr
Hatshy [7]

Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus points that our individual suffering doesn't matter compared to the whole world since a single individual is just a grain of sand compared to the whole world. This leaves the viewer with his or her own opinion. In the painting, the idea of over prideful suffering is shown in only a tiny splash that we know from the title of the work must be Icarus falling into the ocean. The rest of the scene is quiet and calm, as if the whole world continued without a care. Rather in Auden's poem, it obsesses about suffering and seems to grieve at the idea that our individual suffering isn't more important. The poem takes on a very powerful vocabulary using words like "suffering", "martyrdom", "disaster", and "forsaken". Many readers can agree that they both have very similar ideas.

"There is no act more wretched than stealing" (Hosseini 18). Do you agree? Why or why not? If you could name one rule by which t
Anna11 [10]

Answer: I do not agree with that statement, stealing usually stems from the lack of something in someone’s life. So I would be able to reason why someone would do it. The one rule that I believe is important to live by is to be reliable. The people around you will benefit from you and hopefully you yourself would see many benefits from it. I don’t believe that a person can live only by one rule, I feel that there needs to be many rules we all live by so that we can get along with one another as smoothly as possible.
