Part 1 Reflection:

Icarus has many possible reasons why he might be “sorry”. If he let himself burn up and fall on purpose, more of a suicide, he may want to ask forgiveness from his father for leaving him. If he flew too close to the sun because he just couldn’t help it, but knew that he shouldn’t go so close, he could be sorry for not obeying

Flight of Icarus

[reesa59]

I appreciated your thought about Icarus' break for freedom. I think that the images of birds and freedom go so well together. In the poem,he really wanted to get that feeling but of course in the end as you pointed out his risk resulted in the ultimate reprecussion, death.

Great thoughts! I like how you stated that the flight (perhaps his greatest flight of all) was worth dying for. It gives the impression that although he died, atleast he died happy and while he was having the time of his life. He had no time for regrets.

I enjoyed your words about Icarus's desire to fly with the birds I totally agree that he wasn't sorry because he had desired to be with them all along.

I agree that Icarus felt that it was all worth it; you cant apologize when you dont feel bad.

Totally agree with you that Icarus is indeed not sorry. Why should one be sorry for achieving their own dreams in life! Good Job!
