In Brueghel's painting, the fall of Icarus is happening in the back; no one is even noticing it. Brueghel's painting shows that how a tragedy may not even be noticed by those who are not directly affected by it.
Auden translates Brueghel's painting a little differently, however. To Auden, the fall of Icarus IS being noticed by the plowman and the sailor; Auden says that they are too busy to deal with the disaster and get on with their work. Auden says that Icarus falling is "not an important failure" to them.
Auden's interpretation of the painting is therefore much more negative than Brueghel's initial work.

The ideal exchange student is open minded. As this is a new country with a new language an exchange student should not be ignorant. Being willing to explore the culture and the common interests of the country's people is a must or else they will be miserable. They should not take their disadvantage of being new as an excuse to be unproductive or rely on others but rather they should be independent. Always accepting the help of others and being able to hold back temper when in a state of anger is a good characteristic to look for in choosing exchange students.
