Explanation:
The climactic moment of The Death of Ivan Ilych, the changeless instant when Ivan passes through the black sack into the light, fully resolves the contradictions and conflicts present throughout the novel. As Ivan is reborn into the light, the spiritual finally transcends the physiological. Life conquers death, and the authentic prevails over the artificial. At the very moment of his rebirth, when Ivan asks himself, "What is the right thing?" Ivan's hand falls on Vasya's head and he feels sorry for him. Ivan's sincere and heartfelt expression of compassion, coupled with physical human contact, bridges the gap that Ivan had created between himself and others. Throughout Ivan's life, he had erected barriers between himself and the world. Whether by engrossing himself in his official work, losing himself in the game of bridge, or adopting a formal and escapist attitude toward life's unpleasantness, Ivan has isolated himself from meaningful human interaction. By adopting the values of high society, Ivan's life has lost all value. Yet when Ivan realizes the error of his past life, when he feels sorry for Vasya and Praskovya, when he opens himself up to an empathetic connection with another human being, the walls fall from around him. The self-erected barriers drop away from all sides, and Ivan experiences the true joy of unimpeded, authentic human relationships.
Answer:
The author creates an uneasy and scary feeling by ending the story with this question.
Explanation:
In "Nighttime in Texas," Dave has traveled to spend spring break with his friend from High School, Carlos. To Dave's surprise, the neighborhood where Carlos lives is completely dark, and not a sound can be heard. It's already midnight and there is no sign of Carlos even being at home, which makes things even stranger since he knew Dave was coming.
While he waits, Dave ends up meeting Patricia. She is wearing a nightgown and slippers - this is a detail that deserves attention. Patricia tells Dave that weird things have been happening in the neighborhood and that the police established a curfew. Most of the residents have been sleepwalking, according to her, and no one has been able to explain why that is.
<em>“Pretty weird, right?” Patricia said. Dave took a moment to form a response.“Yeah, yeah,” he finally managed. “I mean, that’s really crazy. I’ve never heard of anything like that!” After a pause, he continued, “So do you think Carlos—I mean, do you think he’s one of the . . . afflicted?” </em>
<u>We can tell Dave is already scared. But matters get even worse when Carlos shows up driving his car. He tells Dave Patricia is his girlfriend and confirms everything she has just said as being true. He then asks, "You're not scared of the dark, are you?", and that is how the story ends. We are now as scared as Dave. What does that question mean? Are Carlos and Patricia sleepwalking right now (remember her nightgown and slippers)? Will Dave begin to sleepwalk as well? Are they both lying, maybe with the intention of hurting Dave? There is no way to know.</u>
