Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is a poem by one of the foremost figures of 20th-century American poetry, William Carlos Williams, first published in Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems in 1962. The poem is a work of ekphrasis—writing about a piece of visual art—and is part of a cycle of 10 poems inspired by the paintings of 16th-century artist Pieter Bruegel (or Brueghel) the Elder. Both Bruegel's painting and this poem depict the death of Icarus, the mythological figure who died after flying too close to the sun, in a rather unusual way: in both works, Icarus's death—caused by a fall from the sky after the wax holding his artificial wings together melted—is hardly a blip on the radar of the nearby townspeople, whose attention is turned instead toward the rhythms of daily life. Tragedy is thus presented as a question of perspective, something that depends on how close one is (literally and emotionally) to the event in question.

My dear Sushma,
First, Happy Birthday once again.
I know you had invited me and had expected me to be there last night. But due to the sudden hospitalization of my father, I couldn't attend the party. And I am extremely sorry for missing your special day.
I hope you can understand my condition. I will make sure I make up to you. Let my father get well first and then I will be there to make up for my absence in any way possible.
I'm really sorry about missing the party. Hope you will forgive me.
Take care and I will see you soon.
Your loving friend
Ruchi.
A. It keeps the poem in the<span>second-person point of view, which creates a close bond between the reader and the speaker.
Because when an author uses 'you', they are directing a second person point of view, as they are talking directly to the reader</span>
I believe it is the 1st one, however I am only in middle school so I would wait for another answer to be 100% sure.
Answer:
Holiday Diary: Monday We (arrived) in the middle of a thunderstorm at one in the morning. I (took) the tent out of the car and (tried) to pitch, only to then (realised) that we had forgotten the pegs. The kids’ faces (stared) at me through the car’s streaked windows as the dogs sit beside them. Three-quarters of an hour later I finally (managed) to wake the site’s shop owner, bought some spare pegs and got us all under canvas. The forecast, typically, is for rain all week. Good old summer!
