The speaker wants to abandon his mortal body because bodies as they age become old, raggedy, and useless. He says "An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick". This shows how much he dislikes his old body and wishes to "<span>But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make", which means he thinks that in Byzantium he will take the form of a golden statue. </span>
Well, I, unfortunately, don't know about either in the question
Fortunately, I do know a thing or two (actually, everything) about Greek Mythology.
The story of how Daedalus lost his son had nothing to do with the triumph over the pain of death. Daedalus had a long, horrifyingly sad life of sorrow and pain, even though the old man usually just was trying to do the right thing. After Icarus fell into the sea and died, Daedalus was a wreck, and his life only got worse after that.
Daedalus was in fact, mostly helpless when his son took a header into the ocean. He was quite far behind his son, and could only watch as Icarus fell into the ocean as his wings melted from the heat of the sun and the spray of the sea.
As far as I understood from the myths as well, there weren't "People" around them. They were in the middle of the ocean. Daedalus flew for a LONG time before reaching land again.
However, looking at the painting, it's quite obvious that there WERE people around in this painting (not quite accurate, but oh well) and in fact, nobody could have even cared there was a human with wings taking a header into the sea. Nobody was looking. The focus of the painting wasn't Icarus.
D is incorrect. A is also incorrect.
Now, because I have no knowledge of either the painting or of Ovid's work, I can't give you a definite answer, this is up to you. But your choices come to either B or C.
~Hope this helps!
Answer:
Fritz uses first-person point of view to describe the thoughts and perspectives of the narrator.
Explanation:
Jean Fritz in the book Homesick uses the first person narrative to put the readers in the shoes of the major character in the book so they could better understand his perspective, feel his emotions, and view the world from the same lenses.
The use of the pronoun "I" and "Me" by the author was to enable the first person narrative.
For example,
I entered the room and everywhere was dark
She was looking directly at me.
This use of personal pronouns, object pronouns, possessive pronouns, etc were used extensively in the book to enable the readers experience the events from the first person narrative of the major character.
Explanation:
One thread that runs throughout the novel is a critique of moral hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is pretending to virtues and then not adhering to them in reality. It is often called talking the talk and not walking the walk. The worst characters in the novel pretend to moral virtue for their own gain.
For example, the cold-hearted con artists the Duke and the King cheat people out of their money. The King does this by pretending to be collecting for a mission for former pirates, amassing $80—a large sum in that time period to bilk out of poor, hardworking people. The twosome will do anything to get money, pretending to be heirs to Wilks family to swindle an inheritance from the rightful heirs. The King also betrays Jim for $40. Twain, through these men, condemns a society that teaches people to put monetary gain ahead of compassion, honesty, and empathy towards other people.
The Grangersons lead gracious lives with fine furniture, artwork, and china, but they keep slaves. They also are involved...
