The answer to this question is in Auden's words "for instance". His poem is not specifically about Icarus and his tragedy. It transcends this particular story, elevating its message to the highest, universal level. The poem is about suffering as an integral constituent of life. People are often completely unaware of other people's suffering. The Icarus motif is just an example, albeit a very drastic one. It serves as the poem's climax. The "delicate ship" is on its course and it keeps sailing, although the crew must have seen "a boy falling out of the sky". In other words, the strange death of a young boy changes nothing in the course of other people's lives. That is why, unlike Williams' poem, this one doesn't even have Icarus in its title, but the Museum. It deals with the relations of life vs. death and art vs. reality, rather than Icarus' tragic story.
C. The American identity is often reflected in American literature, which shows the many different perspectives that exist in the United States.
Answer:
C. White people know what's best for the American Indians
Explanation:
In these lines, Jackson implies that white people know what is best for the American Indians. He does so by explaining the way the Indians think, according to him. He tells us that since the Indians often migrate, they are not very attached to their land. Moreover, he says that Indians do not want to mingle with others, and refuse to follow the laws of the white people, so they would be better off isolated. Jackson claims to know not only what the Indian people think but also how their happiness can better be achieved. He calls his proposal "generous."
