Nikolai always strived to be a stern man. It was the most apparent in the way he managed to hide a half-smile when he thought so

mething was genuinely funny. He would only pat his young son Andrei on the back if he felt compelled to show love in front of people. Nobody had heard Nikolai sing Andrei to sleep. In fact, even the songs were about warriors, ascetics, and heroes of some kind.
Once, when nobody was looking, Nikolai took off his shoes and socks to walk on the morning dew. He even bent low—messing up his crisp suit—to smell an unfolding rose. Nikolai would shock himself by such impulsive acts, and then he would walk about with a tyrant’s expression on his face. Every day on his way home from work, Nikolai crossed a river that forked into two directions. It took him longer to get home the day the river was flooded. That evening, Nikolai stood on the riverbank—right where the river split into two—and watched the two streams merge into one. Rain had erased all boundaries.

Answer:

A. Nikolai's dual character

Explanation:

Forking rivers or paths are commonly used to express a character's opposing features in literature. In this case, it represents Nikolai's two sides - stern and caring. The river merges into one at the end - implying that his two sides can coexist.

In at least 150 words, describe the setting and historical context of "I Stand Here Ironing." Explain how
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Olsen's story takes place in the most ordinary of settings: a mother, at home, ironing. As the story develops, this generic setting starts to take on specific characteristics. It is focused on a working class home in the 1950's in America. During the Depression years, many single, working mothers struggled with a lack of social services and financial support. Looking at the mere title of this story conveys the dullness in the lives of women in america at the time. The historical context of the story sets an orthodox tone, and a basis for a stirring revolution to bring liveliness into the lives of women during the great depression.
