Daedalus and Icarus

We were assigned to find the picture on the fall of Icarus as our first task for reading. To tell the truth I never heard of this story before so I was not sure which picture to choose as there were so many versions. My course mates brought so many pictures some are funny pictures with Icarus flying down and so on. Actually I got the right picture which describes the landscape when Icarus fell down and he is only a tiny part in the picture where we can only see his legs. Talking about this story, it shows the relationship between father and son, Daedalus loves his son. He kept on crying when he fixes the wing on Icarus before they ran away. He also warned him not to fly high as the wax will melt under the blazing sun. Icarus who was following his father, suddenly started to fly near the sun, and the wax melted and he fell down and drowned in the deep blue sea. Same goes to these days’ youngsters who ignore the advice of their parents and elderly people. These days’ youths thinks that, they have their own ‘wing’ which will help to come up in life but they forgot that without their parents help they won’t be able to have the ‘wing’ or to fly safely in their life.
