help me please in 2questions

OpenStudy (josedavid):

In 1800, Napoleon led his reserve army across the Alps into Italy to fight Austrian forces that had laid siege to Genoa. Although Genoa had fallen by the time Napoleon had reached it, the crossing led to a series of important military victories for Napoleon. Review the setting in each of the portraits of Napoleon crossing the Alps. How do the settings differ and what do they suggest about the event being portrayed? Be sure to use specific details from the paintings to support your answer.

OpenStudy (desmarie):

what do you think the answer is......do you have any idea?

OpenStudy (josedavid):

i do not

OpenStudy (josedavid):

i think that the setting of the second painting is in London, england

OpenStudy (desmarie):

lol...how can you tell....it looks like a whole bunch of rocks

OpenStudy (josedavid):

lol i know but i dont know

OpenStudy (desmarie):

in the passage it does say that they are both pictures of him in the Alps

OpenStudy (josedavid):

yes but i need to get the setting

OpenStudy (desmarie):

for one....it looks like it is snowing in the pic that is to the right

OpenStudy (josedavid):

yes

OpenStudy (josedavid):

in the first portrait it looks like as if Napoleon is on the way to reach somewhere and in the second portrait it looks like as if is Napoleon riding a horse like ready to fight.

OpenStudy (josedavid):

idk

OpenStudy (desmarie):

the first one looks like he is in battle.....the second one looks like he is going up a mountain

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

It doesn't ask directly where they are, it asks what they suggest about about the event that is occurring. So, you're looking for the wrong thing, overthinking it in a sense >.<

OpenStudy (desmarie):

but it does ask how the settings differ

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Yes, but not where they are. That's almost impossible to tell. The only way you could figure that out is if you asked the artists themselves. How the settings differ is basically asking how the different artists depict the event.

OpenStudy (josedavid):

so can u help me

OpenStudy (josedavid):

so wish one s right

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

The one on the left depicts him as a king-like figure with a red cape on a white horse- A knight in shining armor. The second depicts him as a modest man with a dark brown horse, as though he's not the true hero, but some guy just doing his job. Yes I can help :)

OpenStudy (josedavid):

so whish one is right

OpenStudy (desmarie):

jade just gave you the answer -.-

OpenStudy (josedavid):

ohhh this is the answer The one on the left depicts him as a king-like figure with a red cape on a white horse- A knight in shining armor. The second depicts him as a modest man with a dark brown horse, as though he's not the true hero, but some guy just doing his job.

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Jose, will you reread the question, please? :) It's not asking for which painting is correctly depicting the event, it's asking how the differ and what each painting suggests about it

OpenStudy (desmarie):

yep

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

If he puts that in, he's going to get 1/2 credit for the question...

OpenStudy (desmarie):

lol...why

OpenStudy (josedavid):

y im not putting the same thing

OpenStudy (josedavid):

and i need help with another question with the same pictures In 1800, Napoleon led his reserve army across the Alps into Italy to fight Austrian forces that had laid siege to Genoa. Although Genoa had fallen by the time Napoleon had reached it, the crossing led to a series of important military victories for Napoleon. Review the placement of the horses in the two paintings of Napoleon crossing the Alps. What details of this aspect of these portraits help explain the painters' attitudes toward Napoleon?

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

See, this is where "The one on the left depicts him as a king-like figure with a red cape on a white horse- A knight in shining armor. The second depicts him as a modest man with a dark brown horse, as though he's not the true hero, but some guy just doing his job." Would actually work

OpenStudy (josedavid):

and the second question

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Did you read what I just said..?

OpenStudy (josedavid):

yes

OpenStudy (josedavid):

and thanks

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Kay, so, I think we should go back to number 1 "How do the settings differ and what do they suggest about the event being portrayed? Be sure to use specific details from the paintings to support your answer."

OpenStudy (josedavid):

ohhh the one u said is not right

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

No, I just tried to tell you that

OpenStudy (josedavid):

ohhh u should it told me, i was writing it

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

*Face desk*

OpenStudy (josedavid):

i dont understand

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Okay, what I told you about the horses earlier would answer the second question The settings are not the horses, it's asking about the background. Everything but the horse and Napolean

OpenStudy (josedavid):

ok

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

So, tell me, what do YOU see as differences? Color, brightness, darkness, where they are (not the place, just surroundings)
