On the poem “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus”

English
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
6 0
According to its title, Brueghel's painting is meant to portray the Fall of Icarus. It shows Icarus' legs splashing into the water as his wings fail. As the title also implies, it shows a landscape, seemingly just to give a setting for the fall. 
Auden's poem references specific details from this painting, but does so with the intention of pointing out how people, too often, ignore other human suffering. Her poem focuses on the bystanders in the painting, and how they are all turned away from Icarus as he experiences this tragedy.

What evidence from the text supports the idea that today's Thanksgiving is an invitation tradition
yuradex [85]

In late 1863, Pres. Lincoln labeled that last Thursday in November as a national day of thanksgiving. Nonetheless, in 1939, after a request from the National Retail Dry Goods Association, Pres. Franklin Roosevelt imposed that the holiday should consistently be celebrated on the 4th Thursday of the month in order to extend the holiday shopping period by a week.

As most students in the U.S. learn, the event we consider the “first” Thanksgiving happened in Plymouth, Mass. in 1621 when the Pilgrims (who actually called themselves separatists and weren't referred to as Pilgrims until the 1870s) gathered with the local Wampanoag peoples to celebrate the fall harvest.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states.

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in Canada, the United States, some of the Caribbean islands, and Liberia. ... Although Thanksgiving has historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, it has long been celebrated as a secular holiday as well.

Bali is a lovely Indonesian island and tropical paradise. It is a lush, green place, with rice fields and forest-covered mountai
sveta [45]

Answer: Hi! A useful summary of this passage would focus on D (the natural and man-made features of Bali).

Explanation: The paragraph shown isn't exploring enjoyable things to do in Bali. Secondly, descriptions of Bali's buildings, in particular, wouldn't be necessary if they could be summarized along with man-made and non-man-made features of Bali. Finally, some facts about traveling to Bali could be nice, but they are also not essential for summarizing the atmosphere of the landscapes Bali has to offer. Thus, D is the best answer.

I hope that this helps you out! Have a good day! :)
