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?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

so, I'm not exactly sure what you need help with, so I'm just gonna assume that you want us to explain what the comment means.

basically they're saying that they were from a different country or they followed a certain religion, and people were telling them that people like them (who come from their country/follow their religion) shouldn't be in the country that they were in. Maybe because of like terrorist attacks from that country, or maybe they were in a war. Kinda of like how the Japanese were treated during World War 2.

Tema [17]
Lord Capulet views marriage as a bargain, a contract, and a way to increase his family's standing in the community. Since Paris is a cousin of the Prince, Capulet believes that this marriage will bring honor and status to the Capulet family. He probably has the intention of using this to assert dominance over the Montagues. When describing Paris to Juliet he says he is "A gentleman of noble parentage / Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly train'd<span>" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows that his main focus is Paris's status, rather than how he would actually be as a match for Juliet. 
</span>
Capulet does not even think of what Juliet might want, he says to Paris "I think she will be ruled / In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Act 3, Scene 4). This shows that he just assumes Juliet will agree to marry Paris because he said so. When she refuses, he reacts very badly. He says that if she does not agree to the wedding, she can "hang, beg, starve, die in
the streets, / <span>For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows the lengths he is willing to go to to punish Juliet if she does not agree, which reinforces his idea of marriage as a contractual agreement rather than something that is developed out of love. </span>
