How does Tolstoy set up Gerasim to be a foil to Praskovya Fedorovna in these two excerpts from The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Gerasim

alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. . . . When the examination was over the doctor looked at his watch, and then Praskovya Fedorovna announced to Ivan Ilyich that it was of course as he pleased, but she had sent today for a celebrated specialist who would examine him and have a consultation with Michael Danilovich (their regular doctor). "Please don't raise any objections. I am doing this for my own sake," she said ironically, letting it be felt that she was doing it all for his sake and only said this to leave him no right to refuse. He remained silent, knitting his brows. He felt that he was surrounded and involved in a mesh of falsity that it was hard to unravel anything.

At the end of ali and the magic stew, what dose ali decision to put his ars around the beggar to steady him show about ali
frez [133]

"Ali and the Magic Stew" tells us the story of a very rich boy named Ali, whose father is sick. Ali meets a beggar and the man tells him that the only way for his father to get better is to make him a stew with money he begs for in the street. Ali is a very proud child, and he is embarrased by the idea of doing something like that. However, as he goes through the experience, he becomes humble and is able to feel more empathy for poor people like the beggar.

This is exemplified by the fact that Ali puts his arms around the beggar to steady him. Ali has now learned that he is not superior to other people, and he is willing to help those in need.
