Answer:

Musee des Beaux Arts is a poem that focuses on human suffering, tragedy and pain by contrasting the lives of those who suffer and those who do not.

Much of his poetry relates to the state of the human heart, history, social trends and world affairs.

Those who don't seem to suffer, are often bystanders, ordinary members of the public going about their daily business oblivious to what's going on behind closed doors or just out of earshot. And if they do notice something unusual, they're too busy or distracted to do anything about it.

As Icarus dramatically falls into the sea the event for one man was not an important failure; it made no impression on a passing ship with somewhere to get to; there is no reaction.  

I would think that the idea of the ploughman is that he is going to go on with his day just like any other day.  Work needs to be done, but who will help him in his time of need?  Is he selfish or is he just doing what he has to do to take care of his family?

Very sad....So many people are suffering and what are we going to do about it?  Do we pay attention and seek assistance for them or help them ourselves?  OR do we go on about our own business and not the fragility of the Earth and the people in it?

How does the use of dialogue and description in a flash fiction story compare to its use in a novel?​
skelet666 [1.2K]
<h2>These six words were written by Ernest Hemingway, Arthur C. Clarke, or The Spokane Press doesn’t really matter. It’s a premier example of everything fiction’s shortest form can do.</h2>

<h2>In a world of novels, essays, and short stories, flash fiction is underdog prose. Scarcely discussed and often poorly defined, it becomes that much more exciting, edgy, and experimental. Twist endings and sudden violence are hallmarks of the form, where just six words can allude to the tragic death of a child.</h2>

<h2>Flash fiction is dangerous — it asks the writer to surrender all safety nets and let a mere smattering of sentences speak for themselves. But it can also be extremely rewarding, if done right. Before we get into that, however, let’s gauge what it actually is.</h2>

<h2>Mark me as brainliest ❤️</h2>

How can propaganda be both positive and negative?
steposvetlana [31]
It can convey 2 different sides. for instance, look at the photo that is uploaded. it shows that Hoover is a bad president, but on the other hand, it shows that FDR is a good one. Hoover didn't do a lot of things during the Great Depression, but Franklin Roosevelt helped solve a lot of problems. There's a positive and negative side.
