<u>Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." </u>
<u>What similarities and differences do you see in the way the poets present ideas to the reader?</u>
The most important similarity between W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams' poems is that both describe Pieter Brueghel's painting <em>Landscape With The Fall of Icarus</em>. Both poets illustrate the scene and all its surroundings with detail. Both poets exemplify with imagery the painting's scene and what it depicts.
<u>Nevertheless, the poets do differ in other elements:</u>
- Auden presents his poem using free verse and divides it into two long stanzas without any rhyme. Although William Carlos Williams doesn't use rhyme either, he keeps a more traditional construction by dividing the poem into six stanzas with three lines in each.
- Auden reflects on suffering and the burden of routine depicted in the painting with more delicate and meditative observations. He mentions Icarus in the second stanza and contemplates his psyche in a deeper way. Williams, on the other hand, presents his ideas in a concise manner. He states the reader the facts and describes the painting with concrete examples. He mentions Icarus since the first stanza but doesn't concentrate on what he might have felt or what others might be feeling in that precise moment.
- Auden sensed the painting and tells the reader his experience when he saw it. Williams is an observer. He tells the reader a descriptive summary of what he saw without delving into his inner experience and thoughts.
I would go with B, I do not for sure know the answer but that is the one that seems to make the most sense
The Bronte sisters felt constrained in their language use by social expectations placed on women
You would definitely need those things for a persuasive. most likely for expository as well.
The correct options are "A simple solution to a problem" and "Fear over a possible outcome".
This is a poster that was released by the United Kingdom's Royal Navy during World War II. It shows the image of a factory worker taking a break to smoke as we see the ships and destroyers in the background, while the ominous clock keeps on ticking.
<u>The intentions and message are very clear: if the workers waste time, the production rate of ships and destroyers will decrease; if that happens, the war will continue and it will take longer to win</u>. The poster is trying to push forward a simple solution (factory workers not taking breaks in order to win the war fast) to a much more complicated problem, as actually winning the war will require a lot more than that. In addition, the message and presentation use the fear brought by war to push workers to their limits in a rather cruel manner.
Hope this helps!
