1st essay

In "Landscape with the fall of Icarus", William Carlos Williams suggests that life on, or that everything has a purpose in life. Also that we have consequences towards our action,or that to human beings are selfish. another is that life is complicated, we live through pain and we just die, that's just how life is. By William suggesting all these thins it just shows that life can be lived in two ways, 1 doing what you have to do so everything at the end can go your way, or 2 if you don't follow the rules then everything that's messed up in your life is your fault for not following direction, and might not get a second chance at it. In the poem " Landscape with the fall of Icarus" by W.C.W , noticed that the author uses a lot of techniques. In his last stanza he uses Allusion, "A splash quite unnoticed this was Icarus drowning." this stanza shows how like no one really paid attention or just didn't know about whats going on around them. they just minded their own business because if they intrude some thing might happen to them. Another technique the author uses is personification. In the 4Th stanza he states, " the edge of the sea concerned with itself." He's giving the "sea"a human trait which is to feel. Also another thing i noticed about this poem is that it basically just gives details about how/what people/things they were doing when Icarus died. In stanza 1 and 3, i noticed that it talks a lot about a new fresh year, and that its spring. this shows me that it doesn't matter how things are around you, death eventually still comes! This i can tell relate to the photo by Bruegel, he shows the portrait to be a peace full surrounding . flowers blooming , birds flying, and people doing everyday things, but once you look towards the bottom right you see Icarus drowning. but everyone is still doing what their suppose to, not really paying attention to Icarus , just going about there business. so with this i conclude people just go about there business, you can can then selfish, or careless but at the the end of the day death just happens.
