Q6, p. 3
In what ways do Icarus and Daedalus try to be something they are not? Give at least 2 examples from the story to support your answer.
They both try to fly like birds, which is something humans are not meant to do.
They also act like gods in that they are being "superhuman" and the townspeople actually mistake them for gods (Apollo and Cupid)
21
Q7, p. 4:
What message does the story send about people trying to be more than they were intended to be?
Because Icarus dies from his ambition to fly to the sun and Daedalus is punished by losing his son, the story sends the message that you will be punished if you try to be more than you are meant to be.
22
Q8, p. 4:
Why does Daedalus offer his wings to the god Apollo? Why does he not try to fly again, even though he was successful?
After Icarus dies, Daedalus understands that he was punished for trying to fly and the gods are angry that he tried to be more than humans are meant to be. He does not try to fly again because he understands his mistake and paid for it with the death of his son.
