Which two parts of this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggest that doctors, like lawyers, are part of the

superficial middle-class world of nineteenth century Russia?
He went. Everything took place as he had expected and as it always does. There was the usual waiting and the important air assumed by the doctor, with which he was so familiar (resembling that which he himself assumed in court), and the sounding and listening, and the questions which called for answers that were foregone conclusions and were evidently unnecessary, and the look of importance which implied that "if only you put yourself in our hands we will arrange everything—we know indubitably how it has to be done, always in the same way for everybody alike." It was all just as it was in the law courts. The doctor put on just the same air towards him as he himself put on towards an accused person.

The doctor said that so-and-so indicated that there was so- and-so inside the patient, but if the investigation of so-and-so did not confirm this, then he must assume that and that. If he assumed that and that, then...and so on. To Ivan Ilyich only one question was important: was his case serious or not? But the doctor ignored that inappropriate question. From his point of view it was not the one under consideration, the real question was to decide between a floating kidney, chronic catarrh, or appendicitis. It was not a question the doctor solved brilliantly, as it seemed to Ivan Ilyich, in favour of the appendix, with the reservation that should an examination of the urine give fresh indications the matter would be reconsidered. All this was just what Ivan Ilyich had himself brilliantly accomplished a thousand times in dealing with men on trial. The doctor summed up just as brilliantly, looking over his spectacles triumphantly and even gaily at the accused. From the doctor's summing up Ivan Ilyich concluded that things were bad, but that for the doctor, and perhaps for everybody else, it was a matter of indifference, though for him it was bad. And this conclusion struck him painfully, arousing in him a great feeling of pity for himself and of bitterness towards the doctor's indifference to a matter of such importance.

According to these words, "Everything went according to plan and as it usually does in the middle-class world of Russia in the 19th century". "The crucial air adopted by the doctor" is the second sentence in this extract. The Russian middle class was more centered on ostentation than anything else. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is middle-class?</h3>

3. which of the following is the most appropriate thesis sentence for an essay on your best childhood friend?
Vitek1552 [10]

The most appropriate thesis sentence would be: "As we got older our lives went in different directions, but we still keep up on social media" (D).

In a good thesis sentence, your reader should:

  • identify a key question or idea,
  • be able to understand how you are going to develop this idea in the paper,
  • and be given a hint of what your conclusion will be.

This sentence (D) is raising a key question: how did the friendship evolve as you got older? It is also providing a direction regarding the way you are going to approach the development (chronologically). Finally, it mentions the conclusion, or the answer to the question, in a few words: "we still keep up on social media."
