Why does Auden postpone mentioning Icarus until the second stanza of the poem? How might this
connect to the theme of Breughel's painting? (poem and painting)
The poem isn't about Icarus; his story is only an afterthought that the poet attaches to the end.
The poem isn't about Icarus; his story is only used to illustrate the point the poet is making
The poem is creating suspense by revealing Icarus's story after slowly leading up to it.

Answer: The poem itself is about suffering as an integral constituent of life. The Icarus motif is just an example, albeit a very drastic one. The quote "delicate ship" is on its course and it keeps sailing, although the crew must have seen "a boy falling out of the sky". In other words, the strange death of a young boy changes nothing in the course of other people's lives. That is why, unlike Williams' poem, this one doesn't even have Icarus in its title, but the Museum. It deals with the relations of life and death.

The Story of Cam and Tam

Kyle Ellington


1Once upon a time, a widowed man lived in a small kingdom and cared for his kind daughter, Tam, by himself. Eventually, the man remarried, but his new wife was cruel to Tam. Tam’s life worsened when a baby girl, Cam, was born. Tam’s father and stepmother showered Cam with everything she desired, leaving Tam to live a desolate, lonely life. She cleaned the house, cooked the food, hauled the trash, and collected the water.

2One day, Tam’s stepmother sent her and Cam to collect fish. Though they were half sisters, Tam and Cam had contrasting personalities. Tam fished continuously until her basket overflowed with fish, while Cam lazily lounged in the sun. Upon realizing that she had no fish to take home, Cam decided to steal Tam’s fish. When Tam wasn’t looking, Cam poured Tam’s fish into her own basket, snickered, and fled home.

3Tam wept when she saw the empty basket because she knew that punishment awaited her; however, she stopped crying abruptly when a beautiful woman appeared. The woman grinned sweetly and told Tam not to weep.

4“Your misfortunes will be over soon, Tam. Inside your basket, you will find one fish. Take it home and care for it,” said the woman.

5Tam put the fish in the well behind her house. Each time Tam neared the well, the fish surfaced, which made Tam very happy. One day, because Tam's stepmother despised Tam’s happiness, she removed the fish from the well and returned it to the river. The next time Tam visited the well, the fish did not surface. Tam instantly knew what had occurred and wept. Once again, the beautiful woman appeared. She instructed Tam to visit the fish at the edge of the river whenever she needed help.

6A few weeks later, the Autumn Festival began, and Tam’s town erupted with activity. Tam planned to attend the festival, but her stepmother wrote a list of many chores for her to complete. Saddened, Tam visited the water's edge and asked for help. In a moment, the beautiful woman appeared before Tam and instantly transformed Tam's shabby clothes into a stunning blue and silver dress.

7Tam raced to festival, where she earned praise as the most beautiful woman in attendance. Tam shimmered like a star in the glowing gown, but having everyone's eyes on her made her self-conscious, and she ran away. In her haste, she lost a shoe on the staircase.

8Later, the Prince discovered Tam’s lost shoe. He had seen Tam at the festival and hoped to marry her. He traveled the kingdom seeking the woman whose foot fit the shoe. When the Prince arrived at Tam’s house, she tried on the shoe and it fit! The Prince was jubilant and asked Tam to marry him. Eventually, the Prince became King, and Tam became Queen. Though Tam never took revenge on her family members, they lived in agony knowing that if they had been kinder, they could have lived with Tam and the King.

How does the author create a feeling of suspense or tension in this story?

A) by creating sympathy for the abused and oppressed character, Tam

B) by characterizing one of the two young women as wicked and cruel

C) by utilizing a natural creature, a fish, as a friend to poor, lonely, Tam

D) by having the beautiful woman appear several times to help Tam as her life worsens

What is the central idea of this passage?


A)
America no longer needs an Electoral College system.


B)
Voters must take seriously the responsibility to vote.


C)
College graduates agree with the Electoral College system.


D)
American presidents are in support of the Electoral College system.

STORY:
Every four years, millions of people head to the polls on Election Day to vote for a new president. It is their right and duty as U.S. citizens to do so. In the months before the election, they watch the candidates argue about important issues. They read articles about the candidates' promises. They see ads that draw attention to the candidates' strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this knowledge and their own beliefs, citizens choose the candidate whom they believe will lead our country in the right direction. Or do they?

2In the United States, the people do not directly pick the president. Rather, our country gives this important power to the Electoral College. The Electoral College is a body of electors selected by the people in each state to officially choose the next president. How does the Electoral College work? On Election Day, voters take part in the popular vote. They press a button or pull a lever to vote for a presidential candidate. What they actually do, however, is pick the electors who will become members of the Electoral College. These electors pledge to vote for the chosen candidate in another election held in mid-December.

3The number of members each state has in the Electoral College depends on its population. A state with a large population has more votes than a state with a small population. For example, California has 55 votes while Alaska has 3. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote wins all of that state’s electoral votes. A candidate must receive a majority of the electoral votes to become the next president. How many electoral votes is enough to win? In recent elections, candidates have had to earn at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win.

4In theory, this system should work, and it has worked—most of the time. A few times, however, the system has failed. In these cases, the candidate with fewer popular votes gained enough electoral votes to win the election. This occurred during the 2000 presidential election when more people voted for Al Gore, but George W. Bush earned more electoral votes and became the president. What causes such a breakdown in the system to happen? Let's return to the example of California and Alaska. A single vote in California has the power to override thousands of votes in other states. Imagine that only one person in California casts a vote for Candidate A. That candidate wins the popular vote in California 1–0. He or she gets all of California's 55 electoral votes. Across the country, thousands of voters in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Delaware cast their votes for Candidate B. Not one voter casts a vote for Candidate A. These states have a combined 52 electoral votes, which is not enough to beat California's 55. How can the leaders of our country believe that this system is fair?

5A long time ago, Americans were scattered far and wide about the country. It made sense to have representatives who voted for them. In this day and age, however, polling places are practically in the next room for most people. With the use of computers, it is possible to tally votes quickly and accurately. The need for the "middle man" is gone. U.S. citizens are perfectly capable of choosing the person they want for president without interference. It is time to graduate from the Electoral College and let the people decide. You want your vote to matter, don't you?

In the pearl what two animals roam the beach looking for food every morning? ​

I quite remember my first close encounter with our principal known to us as the Lion of Aye Hill, he was a most feared human being. The popular saying was that no other lion ever roared on Aye Hill on which the school was situated. So, when the senior prefect informed me the principal wanted to see me, I was particularly terrified. My friends too were concerned for few students were ever sent for unless they had committed some serious offence. Indeed, some had their dismissals or suspensions announced to them in the principal s office without the ritual of investigation and defence. As I trudged along towards the principal s office, 1 tried to remember what I had done wrong. In the process, 1 assured myself that he must have seen me stealing out of the dormitory two days before. I had crept out stealthily early in the evening to see my uncle who as my only guardian in the town always had some money for me. I had got some money from him and hurried back just before the lights out bell. It was uneventful and I had assumed that nobody saw me. But now, here I was sent for! I knocked feebly and the principal answered from within; Come in. I entered on shaky legs and greeted him. He answered without looking up from the paper on which he was writing. Without looking up still, he motioned me to sit down. This surprised me, for available reports had it that he never allowed students such a luxury. I sat down and waited for the storm to break. For long minutes, I waited.

Finally, he finished the task and looked up. My boy, he said, what were you doing in town so late in the evening two days ago? I told him the truth, for 1 knew the futility of trying to tell a lie. I knew, he said calmly I am aware you ve lost your father and that your uncle is all you have in this town. You went to take some money. I knew. However, in future just come over to me and you ll have all you need. That way you ll not have to break school regulations and mar your good records. Before I could recover from the shock, he took out some currency notes and put them in my hand. Smiling calmly, he bade me good afternoon. I was speechless and hot tears rolled down my cheeks. a. Why was the boy afraid when he was told that the principal wanted to see him? b. What offence had the boy apparently committed? c. Why was he surprised when the principal told him to sit down? d. Why do you think the principal treated the boy the way he did? e. (i) Does your impression of the principal at the end of the passage agree with the impression at the beginning? (ii) Mention one point in support of your answer. F waited for the storm to break (i) What figure of speech is this expression? (ii) What does it mean as it is used in the passage? g. Before I could recover from the shock? (i) What is the grammatical name given to this expression? (ii) What is its function? h. For each of the following words. Find another word or phrase that means the same and can replace it as it is used in the passage. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) encounter; terrified; trudged; stealthily; futility;
