Answer:
A. Lech Walesa
C. Nelson Mandela
E. Andrei Sakharov
Explanation:
In his “Acceptance Speech for the Nobel Peace Prize,” Elie Wiesel referred to the suffering of the people who were represented by Lech Walesa, Nelson Mandela and Andrei Sakharov as important to him as the suffering of the Jews.
In his speech, he said, "Apartheid is, in my view, as abhorrent as anti-Semitism. To me, Andrei Sakharov's isolation is as much of a disgrace as Josef Biegun’s imprisonment. As is the denial of Solidarity and its leader Lech Wałęsa’s right to dissent. And Nelson Mandela’s interminable imprisonment.
There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for "
<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.
Situational irony. He would have been able to find the flashlight had the light not gone out, so it is situational.
The answer is A due to the fact that the Navajo didn't reject the idea of education, it isn't speaking about removal from homes or boarding schools, and the conflict isn't mentioned within this excerpt.
