Which themes are portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Praskovya Fedorovna came of a good famil

y, was not bad looking, and had some little property. Ivan Ilyich might have aspired to a more brilliant match, but even this was good. He had his salary, and she, he hoped, would have an equal income. She was well connected, and was a sweet, pretty, and thoroughly correct young woman. To say that Ivan Ilyich married because he fell in love with Praskovya Fedorovna and found that she sympathized with his views of life would be as incorrect as to say that he married because his social circle approved of the match. He was swayed by both these considerations: the marriage gave him personal satisfaction, and at the same time it was considered the right thing by the most highly placed of his associates. So Ivan Ilyich got married.

As usual in life, motives can be complicated. The theme of Ivan Illych marrying this woman because of her money and her social position is one possibility that he discusses (she comes from a "good" family and has some property). The other theme is that she is pretty and he fell in love with her and to some extent she complements his views on life. In choosing from the options, re the themes, I would say that a) conforming to social conventions and b) the necessity of companionshp should be the two main themes in this excerpt.

Which is an example displaying how the Puritans were industrious?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

“For as some were thus employed in affairs abroad, others were exercised in fishing, about cod and bass and other fish, of which they took good store...” (Bradford 11).

Explanation:

The Puritans were the early settlers that came to the colonies to escape religious persecution from the Church of England. Most of them also arrived in the American colonies to start a new life and begin a life of religious freedom away from the power of the Catholic Church system that governs their everyday life.

Being "industrious" means to be able to do things on their own, learn if they can't do any work, and be dependent on their ability for the sustenance of their lives. The Puritans were industrious in that they work hard for their food, their survival and also made it a point that everyone contributes the same amount of work and ability, thereby ensuring no one lags or is lazy.

The one example that shows how the Puritans were industrious is that they practice/ learn fishing, be it cod, bass, or other fishes, and learned to store them properly. This shows their ability and knowledge to do things on their own and make it a point that they eat out of their efforts.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is the first option</u>.
