Daedalus and Icarus

We were asked by Dr. Edwin to find pictures of “The Fall of Icarus” on the internet. I found many pictures about this but I didn’t know which kind of picture that Dr. Edwin preferred. There are two pictures that caught my attention which are pictures of two men who were flying but one of them was nearly fell down to earth. So, I am very confident that these were the pictures which Dr. Edwin wanted to see. Unfortunately, I was wrong! The right picture was a picture that consists of farmers with their horses and also a ship which was sailing to their destination. In the first place, I never think that this picture could have any relation to the story but after I looked at it a few times, I realized that there was a drowning man who was probably asking for help. However, nobody heard it or probably pretend not to hear it. According to what I have read on the internet, the farmers might pretend that they heard nothing because the death of the man brought nothing to them. His death is not an important failure to them. The same thing goes to the ship that might have seen Icarus but they just ignored him because they need to reach their destination. After I relate and recheck the image with the story in the textbook, I just realize that this is the appropriate picture to represent the story.
