Click to read "Musée des Beaux Arts," by W. H. Auden. Then answer the
question.
Both Brueghel and Auden refer to the story of the fall of Icarus in their works.
How are Landscape with the Fall of Icarus and "Musee des Beaux Arts"
similar?
O
A. They draw focus to the water by indicating that it is very
dangerous.
O
B. They draw focus to Icarus by using his name and picture in the
titles.
O
C. They take focus away from Icarus by including many other
ordinary elements.
D. They take focus away from the water by balancing it with the sky.

The correct answer is option B: "They take focus away from Icarus by including many other ordinary elements".

The story told in the poem as well as in the painting is the fall of Icarus. In both works, to a certain extent, that is not the main focus. In the painting, for example, Icarus' legs can be seen as he drowns. This is a very small detail compared to the other elements present in the painting that overshadow the situation.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
