Explanation:
The musical or the book?
I don't see much of him no matter what basis you use -- book or musical. Do you?
He flourished in a time when knights were bound by a code of honor and the results were not good if you broke that code of honor. He had no intention of doing anything that was wrong. He was so high minded that Sancho Panza had to keep on reminding himself that the Don was either a great saint or an unholy fool and throughout the entire production of both he never really made up his mind. Don Quixote was far too remote, far too idealistic, far too much of a man seeking the world not as it was, but as he wanted it to be. Sancho could never bring himself to see the world that way. And yet, he stuck with him. If his understanding did not increase, his wonder did. The more he saw, the less he really knew, but that was only part of it. Every person must make up their own mind about Sancho. I've spent so much time on him because he is more like modern man. The difference is that he hung around to see if he could come to some understanding of the Don.
Dulcinia is a different person that both of them, but she sees more clearly who Don Quixote is and she tries to push him away but she's not fully successful. I'm a guy and in general, I like that kind of woman. She tried to see him through a different set of lenses. His code prevented him from doing anything about it. We modern people would show no such hesitancy. Dulcinia may give us what we want but she respects the Don. She will never forget him whereas in a year's time, she could not remember anything about the rest of us.
The loneliness that many of the characters in the novel experience informs their search for meaning in a world torn by war and hardship. For example, Ada and Inman bury their feelings of isolation, just as they internalize their grief, regret, and hope for the future
Answer:
D. simile.
Explanation:
In Marie Devers' "The Junior Detective", the speaker narrates how she came upon the profession of being a detective. And in her description, she mentions how she stumbled upon <em>"this vocation"</em>, that is, being a detective.
The figurative language that is used in these lines is a simile where the speaker becoming a detective is compared to the process of how detectives solve crimes,<em> "stumbling" </em>upon evidences and declaring a <em>"verdict"</em> at the end of the investigation. Similes are used to compare one thing with a completely different kind, which provides a more detailed image of the thing talked about. And in these lines, her description of how she became a detective is vividly described, allowing the readers to have a proper understanding of the process.
<u>Answer:</u>
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.
