tolsoy explains his actions towards the characters
In "The Death of Ivan Ilyich," Tolstoy employs his characters to draw out the difference between the artificial and the authentic life. On the one hand, Tolstoy creates the characters that surrounded Ivan's previous life. These people include Ivan's family, friends and acquaintances. These people are shown to be vain, fake and superficial. They represent the artificial life that Ivan now despises. On the other hand, Tolstoy creates the character of Gerasim. Although he does not have as much money, Gerasim represents the authentic life, as he values the things in life that truly make people happy.

On the afternoon of that same Sunday I took my first long ride on my pony, under Otto's direction. After that Dude and I went twice a week to the post-office, six miles east of us, and I saved the men a good deal of time by riding on errands to our neighbors.
2 All the years that have passed have not dimmed my memory of that first glorious autumn. The new country lay open before me: there were no fences in those days. Sometimes I followed the sunflower-bordered roads. Fuchs told me that the sunflowers were introduced into that country by the Mormons; that at the time of the persecution, when they left Missouri and struck out into the wilderness to find a place where they could worship God in their own way, the members of the first exploring party, crossing the plains to Utah, scattered sunflower seed as they went. The next summer, when the long trains of wagons came through with all the women and children, they had the sunflower trail to follow. I believe that botanists do not confirm Fuchs's story, but insist that the sunflower was native to those plains. Nevertheless, that legend has stuck in my mind, and sunflower-bordered roads always seem to me the roads to freedom.
3 I used to love to drift along the pale-yellow cornfields, looking for the damp spots one sometimes found at their edges, where the smartweed soon turned a rich copper color and the narrow brown leaves hung curled like cocoons about the swollen joints of the stem. Sometimes I went south to visit our German neighbors and to admire their catalpa grove, or to see the big elm tree that grew up out of a deep crack in the earth and had a hawk's nest in its branches. Trees were so rare in that country, and they had to make such a hard fight to grow, that we used to feel anxious about them, and visit them as if they were persons. It must have been the scarcity of detail in that tawny landscape that made detail so precious.
4 Sometimes I rode north to the big prairie-dog town to watch the brown earth-owls fly home in the late afternoon and go down to their nests underground with the dogs. Antonia Shimerda liked to go with me, and we used to wonder a great deal about these birds of subterranean habit. We had to be on our guard there, for rattlesnakes were always lurking about. They came to pick up an easy living among the dogs and owls, which were quite defenseless against them; took possession of their comfortable houses and ate the eggs and puppies. We felt sorry for the owls. It was always mournful to see them come flying home at sunset and disappear under the earth. But, after all, we felt, winged things who would live like that must be rather degraded creatures.
5 Antonia had opinions about everything, and she was soon able to make them known. Almost every day she came running across the prairie to have her reading lesson with me. Mrs. Shimerda grumbled, but realized it was important that one member of the family should learn English. When the lesson was over, we used to go up to the watermelon patch behind the garden. I split the melons with an old corn-knife, and we lifted out the hearts and ate them with the juice trickling through our fingers.
6 Antonia loved to help grandmother in the kitchen and to learn about cooking and housekeeping. She would stand beside her, watching her every movement. We were willing to believe that Mrs. Shimerda was a good housewife in her own country, but she managed poorly under new conditions: the conditions were bad enough, certainly!
7 I remember how horrified we were at the sour, ashy-grey bread she gave her family to eat. She mixed her dough, we discovered, in an old tin peck-measure that Krajiek had used about the barn. When she took the paste out to bake it, she left smears of dough sticking to the sides of the measure, put the measure on the shelf behind the stove, and let this residue ferment. The next time she made bread, she scraped this sour stuff down into the fresh dough to serve as yeast.
8 During those first months the Shimerdas never went to town. Krajiek encouraged them in the belief that in Black Hawk they would somehow be mysteriously separated from their money. They hated Krajiek, but they clung to him because he was the only human being with whom they could talk or from whom they could get information. He slept with the old man and the two boys in the dugout barn, along with the oxen. They kept him in their hole and fed him for the same reason that the prairie-dogs and the brown owls house the rattlesnakes-- because they did not know how to get rid of him.
In this excerpt from her novel, My Antonia, Willa Cather uses several figures of speech in her descriptions. Quoting the text, list at least two of the figures of speech that Cather uses, and describe the effect each one has on the reader.
Two of the main figures used by the author are flashback and simile
1. A flashback is defined as a sudden vivid memory of a event in the past. In this case, the author is recalling the story of how sunflowers were introduced into that country. (Fuchs told me that the sunflowers were introduced into that country by the Mormons; that at the time of the persecution, when they left Missouri).
2. Simile: is a comparison between 2 unlike things. Usually use "like" or "as" In this excerpt examples of simile are:
a) we used to feel anxious about them (the trees), and visit them as if they were persons.
b) But, after all, we felt, winged things who would live like that must be rather degraded creatures
Answer:
it's D
Explanation:
In " Excerpt from Printer's Ink" and " Excerpt from Young Ben Franklin", what quality about Ben Franklin is emphasized in both articles? How does each author support this quality about Ben Franklin? BTW: this is an extended response!! Need HELP
The emphasized quality is that Ben was a perseverant, hard-working young boy and besides that he liked to read in paragraph one says: From a child I was fond of Reading. "All the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books". In paragraph two the author says that Ben didn't like his job with his father's soap and candle shop but it helped him learn the importance of hard work. In paragraph four it says that Mr. Franklin sent Ben to work with his older brother James who owned a print shop. Although James was often harsh with his little brother, Ben enjoyed the printing business.
Franklin’s curious mind and a quest for learning are emphasized as a common note on both ‘The excerpt from Young Ben Franklin’ and ‘Excerpt from Printer’s Ink’.
Explanation:
‘The excerpt from Young Ben Franklin’ describes the curious nature of Franklin to read books and learn every day. He always had a strong fascination towards acquiring knowledge.
The Excerpt from Printer’s Ink also establishes the same point when he is found to be working on his brother’s print shops. He describes it as a greatest place to be, as the place relates to the publishing of articles in various areas like science, politics and entertainment. He is also found to be writing even on his deathbed. The dedication of Franklin to learn and acquire knowledge was very high.
Which of the following sound devices is most evident in line 2?
A.alliteration
B.assonance
C.cacophony
D.consonance
E.onomatopoeia
The sound device that is most evident in line 2 is Alliteration
The most evident sound device in this line is assonance, as it emphasizes the melodious and harmonious qualities of the subject's beauty. Therefore, option B is correct.
In the line "She walks in beauty, like the night," the most evident sound device is B. assonance.
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words in close proximity. In this line, the "o" sound in "walks," "in," and "like" creates a melodious and harmonious effect. The long "i" sound in "night" and "like" also contributes to this assonance, enhancing the musical quality of the line.
Let's break it down:
- "walks" and "like" both contain the same "o" sound.
- "like" and "night" share the long "i" sound.
This assonance creates a smooth and pleasing rhythm in the line, which is fitting because the poem is celebrating the beauty of the subject. The sounds flow together, mirroring the idea of the subject's graceful and serene beauty.
Alliteration, on the other hand, is the repetition of initial consonant sounds, and there isn't a prominent example of this in the given line. Consonance involves the repetition of consonant sounds within or at the end of words, and this isn't present either. Cacophony refers to harsh, discordant sounds, which is not the case in this line. Onomatopoeia involves words that imitate the sound they represent, which is also not applicable here.
So, the most evident sound device in this line is assonance, as it emphasizes the melodious and harmonious qualities of the subject's beauty.

Both poems “This Is Just To Say” by William Williams and “No Ide Days” by Chris Colderly is similar because they have the same type of rhythm. First, both the stories use 4 lines in each stanza. If the poet uses 4 lines in every stanza this creates a similar rhythm because readers read it at the same pace.

White Fang (excerpt)
Jack London
Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean towards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness—a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild.
But there was life, abroad in the land and defiant. Down the frozen waterway toiled a string of wolfish dogs. Their bristly fur was rimed with frost. Their breath froze in the air as it left their mouths, spouting forth in spumes of vapour that settled upon the hair of their bodies and formed into crystals of frost. Leather harness was on the dogs, and leather traces attached them to a sled which dragged along behind. The sled was without runners. It was made of stout birch-bark, and its full surface rested on the snow. The front end of the sled was turned up, like a scroll, in order to force down and under the bore of soft snow that surged like a wave before it. On the sled, securely lashed, was a long and narrow oblong box. There were other things on the sled—blankets, an axe, and a coffee-pot and frying-pan; but prominent, occupying most of the space, was the long and narrow oblong box.
Early Sled Dog History
Early travel by rugged dogs pulling sleds was often necessary, but brutal. Dog-pulled sleds were used by early colonists in Canada. Historical dog teams ranged from only two to six animals. No one single breed dominated the sled dogs in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The majority of sled dogs were of mixed breed, and some were certainly part wolf.
Not until the snow finally melted and the ice finally broke up on the rivers did the hard running sledge dogs and their drivers get long periods of rest. Many dogs did not survive the combination of hard work, harsh conditions, brutal treatment, and insufficient feeding schedules.
Which MOST CLOSELY describes the author's use of historical information for the novel White Fang?
Consider both texts provided.
A) The author included details and descriptions of the dogs that match the historical details provided.
B) The author changed the historical facts about early sled dogs to fit the needs of his plot and setting.
C) The author changed the description and age of the dogs, which was necessary for his main character to develop bonds with the dogs.
D) The author included historically accurate details of the dogs' working conditions, but the dogs he describes in his story are Alaskan huskies.
I believe it would be A.
In the White Fang excerpt, it describes the animals pulling the sled as "wolfish dogs" with bristly fur and harnesses. The sled dog history also says they are "certainly part wolf", and also of mixed breeds.
Answer:
A) The author included details and descriptions of the dogs that match the historical details provided.
Explanation:
This is the statement that best describes how the author used historical information for the novel White Fang. In this passage, we see that the author talks about the harshness and desolation of the environment. We also see how he talks about the dogs that were used in this environment. He describes them as "wolfish." All of these details match the details that are included in the historical account.

For God's sake, are we crazy? In the face of history, of every line of philosophy, against the teaching of every religionist and seer and prophet the world has ever given us, we are still doing what our barbarous ancestors did when they came out of the caves and the woods!
Which statement is the best objective summary of Paragraph 8 of the excerpt?
Darrow calls the audience crazy and bullies them into choosing a punishment other than the death penalty for the boys.
Darrow refers to the boys as "barbarous," which strengthens his case for giving them the death penalty.
Darrow argues that giving the boys the death penalty would be a barbaric act that is not in line with the audience's beliefs.
Darrow manipulates the audience by evoking their emotions even though the boys clearly deserve the death penalty.
Answer:
Darrow argues that giving the boys the death penalty would be a barbaric act that is not in line with the audience's beliefs.
Explanation:
First, it's important to understand if Darrow wants the death penalty or not. He is not in favor of the death penalty. Killing someone for committing a crime, in his opinion, is the caveman's system of punishment. Any option that suggests the boys deserve or should receive the death penalty must be eliminated. This leaves the first and third options. Second, the purpose behind referring to history, philosophy, and the teaching of others is to talk about the audience's beliefs. A person's belief system is usually built from their culture which includes history, philosophy and the teaching they follow. Darrow is saying that all of these sources view the death penalty as barbaric.

"She Walks in Beauty" by George Gordon Byron An excerpt from "To Helen" by Edgar Allan Poe She walks in Beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent! Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, wayworn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome. Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand! Ah, Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land! Which statement best describes the tone of the poems
Tone: passionate, intimate, loving. Choose the statement that describes the tone in this manner.

One reason for including classical texts in the education of Christians by the fourth century was A. the failure of the Church to win new adherents once it had been legalized by the state. B. the lack of any Christian texts that could allow converts to understand the Christian articles of faith. C. the lack of any Christian texts on mathematics, ethics, or logic. D. the desire of Christian intellectuals to be regarded as philosophers and to make classical learning applicable to a Christian way of life. E. to show that classical pagan beliefs could easily be reconciled with Christian beliefs.
Answer:
D - the desire of Christian intellectuals to be regarded as philosophers and to make classical learning applicable to a Christian way of life.
Explanation:
By the fourth century, Christians desired a more well-rounded study to ensure themselves as great philosophers - this included using classical texts.
The reason for the inclusion of classical texts in Christian education by the fourth century was the desire of Christian intellectuals to reinterpret and apply such learning within a Christian worldview, while maintaining a cautious balance with non-Christian messages. So, option D is correct.
One reason for including classical texts in Christian education
One reason for including classical texts in the education of Christians by the fourth century was D. the desire of Christian intellectuals to be regarded as philosophers and to make classical learning applicable to a Christian way of life. While it's true that church leaders recognized the utility of classical learning for administration and other practical skills like rhetoric, they were also wary of non-Christian messages inherent in paganism. The inclusion of classical learning in Christian education aimed to not only expand the intellectual horizons of Christians but also to harness these classical tools in the service of Christian thought and administration. This embraced Greco-Roman literature and its insights on governance, science, engineering, and rhetoric—essentials in the operation of the newly-Christian Empire.
After Emperor Justinian ceased funding pagan schools in 529 CE, there was a decline in such educational institutions, but Christianity kept classical learning alive through Christian scholars in the Eastern Roman Empire. Moreover, the fall of Rome saw the church emerging as the primary patron of scholarship, including not just theology but secular disciplines, preserving them through monastic scriptoria and ecclesiastical patronage despite the societal decline often termed the 'Dark Ages.'
Through the merging of moral philosophy and religion, Christianity sought to incorporate moral culture into religious life, creating a harmonious relationship between learning and faith. However, the challenge was to balance this harmonization without being entirely seduced by pre-Christian pagan ideologies, as indicated by church leaders like Tertullian questioning the necessity of studying the Greek intellectual legacy.

In 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri, Where does Gogol feel most at home?
Use evidence from the text to support and explain your answer.
giving BRAINLIEST to the LONGEST answer. everything helps, thank you :))
In 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri, every character is in the search of a home where to belong to, and the different houses they habitate mirror their personalities. The wealthy Ratliffs live in an extravagant mansion. Gogol's room at university is kind of disheartening. The first residence of the Ganguli's is small and uncomfortable, but full of love. If identity derives from the sense of home, it is not a surprise that Gogol has many difficulties in finding and setting up a permanent one. This may explain why he wants to become an architect (to build his own home).
But, as the story develops, the narrator acknowledges that "...is his room at Yale where Gogol feels most comfortable. He likes its oldness, its persistent grace. He likes that so many students have occupied it before him. He likes the solidity of its plaster walls, its dark wooden
floorboards, however battered and stained. He likes the dormer window he sees first thing in the mornings when he opens his eyes and looking at Battell Chapel. He has fallen in love with the Gothic architecture of the campus, always astonished by the physical beauty that surrounds him, that roots him to his environs in a way he had never felt growing up on Pemberton Road." (Evidence from the text).
Thus, Gogol's transitory place of comfort turns to be his Yale dormitory rather than the house where he grew up, implying that he has more flair to get used to new places than his parents.

Taylor and Jane are sisters. They started a babysitting business because each sister needs to save money for a summer trip. Together, they decided on a plan for advertising their business and splitting both the clients and money evenly. The business had been going well for three weeks, but yesterday, Jane was asked to babysit for a family at the last minute. She didn’t have time to tell Taylor, but she took the job and decided to keep the money for herself. She figures what Taylor doesn’t know won’t hurt her.

4. How would you react to the situation if you were Taylor and found out about Jane withholding? Explain your answer.
I would take that money that she made and make her do other work to earn that same amount back, and then it'll be like she never did what she did behind my back :)
~Hope this answers your question!~
Effective teamwork is seen in the sisters' initial agreement to share responsibilities and earnings, while ineffective teamwork is exemplified by Jane keeping the last-minute job earnings to herself. Jane should have communicated with Taylor and maintained their agreement, and Taylor would likely address the issue through a constructive conversation if she found out.
In the scenario described, effective teamwork is represented by Taylor and Jane initially deciding on a plan for advertising their babysitting business and agreeing to split both clients and money evenly. This collaboration shows their commitment to share responsibilities and rewards equally as part of their work arrangement.
Examples of ineffective teamwork include Jane deciding to keep money from a last-minute babysitting job for herself without informing Taylor. This action undermines their agreement to split earnings, disrupts the trust between them, and could potentially harm their business if Taylor were to find out and feel betrayed.
Jane could have handled the situation differently by informing Taylor about the last-minute job as soon as possible and adhering to their initial agreement of sharing the earnings. If Jane could not inform Taylor in time, she should still have set aside Taylor's share and explained the situation later, maintaining the honesty and integrity of their partnership.
If I were Taylor and found out about Jane's withholding of money, my reaction would involve a conversation to understand why it happened and to express the importance of trust and communication in our partnership. Finding a resolution that reaffirms our agreement and prevents similar incidents in the future would be essential for the continuity of the business.
