Answer:

the correct answer is both show Icarus drowning after the wax holding his wings together has melted.

Brueghel's painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus and Ovid's "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus" are similar because they both show Icarus drowning after ignoring his father's adivce and flying to close to the sun.

In the painting, we can see Icarus's feet sinking into the water. And, in Ovid's story, the melting of the wax holding Icarus's wings together along with his falling into the sea is clearly described.

Answer:

The answer is:

Both describes Icauru's fall

Explanation:

In Ovid's Metamorphosies, he writes:

"When the boy began to delight in his daring flight, and abandoning his guide, drawn by desire for the heavens, soared higher. His nearness to the devouring sun softened the fragrant wax that held the wings: and the wax melted: he flailed with bare arms, but losing his oar-like wings, could not ride the air. Even as his mouth was crying his father’s name, it vanished into the dark blue sea, the Icarian Sea, called after him." (OVID. Metamorphosis. Bk VIII:183-235 Daedalus and Icarus. Univesity of Virginia).

<em><u>Pieter Bruegel depicts this moment in his painting.</u></em> However, instead of painting Icarus falling from the sky, he depicts the moment when he drowns in the ocean. We can see only his legs shaking over the water, but there's no sight of his father Dedalus. Another interesting point of this painting is that Icarus is not the central character. Instead, Bruegel focuses on the landscape and its surroundings. People who are working there doesn't stop his job to help Icarus. They just continue to work. It's an interesting piece of art!

What is the overall tone of “The Lady of Shalott”? How does Tennyson convey this tone?
Serjik [45]
<span>The overall tone of the poem is melancholy. Tennyson conveyed this tone by using descriptive words which depict the downcast background and lonely situation of the characters. He was able to dramatize every aspect of the poem by using symbols to express its mood. Despite the Lady of Shalott's acceptance of being a prisoner in her own kingdom, she managed to be patient because of her desire to finish her woven piece to show her devotion to her loved one.</span>

What is literacy?
inna [77]

Answer:Literacy is most commonly defined as the ability to read and write.

But it’s not as simple as it sounds. Reading and writing abilities vary across different cultures and contexts, and these too are constantly shifting.

Nowadays, ‘reading’ encompasses complex visual and digital media as well as printed material. An elderly person who can read the newspaper might struggle to get information from Google.

Similarly, different cultures will have different perceptions of literacy. The writing traditions of the English language make reading comprehension an essential part of literacy, but this might not be as important in cultures or groups that rarely read printed material.

Add to this the many people who move between cultures and languages and you have a world where ‘literacy’ is almost entirely relative.

These complex factors make it difficult to create a stable definition of literacy. But if asked ‘what is literacy’, one could use UNESCO’s more complete definition:

Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.
