After he was excited to be free, but he realized he was stuck on the island and needed to get out. 4. One day Daedalus had an idea to make wings so he could fly like birds and go to a different island. 5. He mended the wings together with wax and feathers. He tried them and they worked, and so he made one for his son Icarus. 6. As they were about to fly Daedalus told Icarus not to go to high or to low. 7. As Icarus was flying he thought it was the most amazing thing, Later on he got caught up in the moment and flew higher. Next thing you know he was almost to high. 8. The sun melted his wax and all the feathers fell off and when he tried to call for help Daedulus couldn't hear him because the wind drowned out his voice. 9. Next thing you know he falls from the sky and drowns in the ocean. 10. Lastly Daeduls buried Icarus on a nearby island now called Icaria. Why do Icarus's wings fall apart? Icarus's wngs fall off because he flew to high and the heat of the sun melted the wax that was holding the feathers together What is Daealus's state at the end of the myth Daedulus is mourning and he is depressed. EXPLAIN MORE

=Figurative Language:= The foreshadowing for "The Flight of Icarus" is when Daedalus, Icarus's dad, watched him proudly but with misgivings. THERE IS MORE FORESHADOWING. The metaphors for this story are " his feet touched the snowy foam as the water thundered and broke over the sharp rocks." ANY SIMILES?

=﻿Lesson of Myth:= The lesson of the myth is always listen to the advice of others(if it is mature). WHAT DID WE TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF LIMITATIONS?

=Generalizations:= I can infer that Icarus is about seven years old, and he has a juvenile personality. (HOW CAN YOU TELL HIS PERSONALITY IS JUVENILE?Most of the time he becomes caught up in the thrill of life.

Daedalus loves his son, is proud of his son, and sometomes feels worried towards Icarus's actions.

Icarus flies higher because he is caught up in the moment.

The warning sign that shows that Icarus is in danger is when the wax starts to melt. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE WAX HAS MELTED?
