Part A: What is a major theme of “Harrison Bergeron” ?
Kaylis [27]
1. In my opinion, the correct answer is D. <span>- It is impossible to make people totally identical in every way. Vonnegut's dystopic short story is set in the future, when equality is not interpreted as a fact that people should be equal in their rights and by law. It is understood as the fact that they must be identical to each other as much as possible so that nobody would feel inferior to anyone else, and that competition between people should be impossible.

2. I would say the correct option is A. </span><span>- The heaviest of handicaps cannot mask Harrison’s superiority: he “had outgrown hindrances faster than H-G men could think them up”. Harrison is, in a way, a symbol of human nature that cannot be suppressed in growth and potential, no matter how hard the society tries to impose restrictions and rules upon it. He is both a genius and a good-looking man, and has rebellious nature that directly defies the system. That's why the H-G has to kill him.</span>

Click to read "Musée des Beaux Arts," by W. H. Auden. Then answer the question.
Oksanka [162]

Brueghel and Auden treat the fall of Icarus differently in the sense that Brueghel relies only on visual imagery, but Auden refers to sounds as well.

<h3>The fall of Icarus</h3>

Both painter Pieter Brueghel and author W. H. Auden chose to portray the famous Greek myth of the fall of Icarus in their work. Icarus was a boy who flew too close to the sun, which melted his wax wings and made him fall to his death.

Since Brueghel paints the scene where Icarus falls into the ocean, he relies solely on visual imagery. On the other hand, in his poem, Auden describes the scene, which means he uses not only visual but also sound elements:

"Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,"

The verbs "splash" and "cry" make us imagine or, better yet, hear the sounds of Icarus falling to his death. With this in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer.
