In the US, he kept struggling, he couldn't find a job and he didn't speak the language: "But here in the United States, my community continues to struggle. We arrived in the U.S. when the economy was at its lowest point, so we struggle to find jobs. Many of us do not speak English, and lack of education makes it even more difficult for us to learn (...)".

The thing which is different about the poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" and the Brueghel painting on which it is based is A: The poem explains that the wings had melted, but the painting does not show this.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The poem “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” is written by “William Carlos Williams” is a beautiful poem based on Brueghel painting. “Brueghel's painting” depicts this Fall of Icarus. It shows how his legs splash into water and his wings fail. The title of the poem also states that there is scenery that shows the fall of Icarus.
The contrast in the two is that, Brueghel's painting shows that no one is affected by tragedy in others life and they don't even notice it. The poem refers to the same plight of the person but in his own perspective. He shows how the ploughman keeps ploughing and Icarus wings which are made of wax start melting. As a result, he fell into the sea. No one notices this and Icarus dies.
