Use what you have learned from reading "“Daedalus and Icarus"” by Ovid and “"To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Triumph"” by Anne Sexton to write an essay that provides an analysis of how Sexton transforms “Daedalus and Icarus.”

Develop your essay by providing textual evidence from both texts. Be sure to follow the conventions of standard English.

Suffice it to say, one must have "clear and convincing reasoning" fully supported by "relevant textual evidence."
Thus, I feel it would be wise for your essays to contain at least two specific and effective references to each work.
