The Fall Of Icarus Research Paper

The nature of children and limit

Children are born to be free will and to be independent. Therefore, forbidding them to follow their own choice in life is a difficult challenge for parents. Usually, children just don’t care how many and what limits they would have to do to what they want. They just want to be free and wild as they can. The fall of Icarus is an image of a kid display his free and independent thought on going far beyond from his limits: his human ability and his father’s warning .
