Which sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich show Ivan Ilyich’s struggle with his life and his in

ability to let go of his past?
For three whole days, during which time did not exist for him, he struggled in that black sack into which he was being thrust by an invisible, resistless force. He struggled as a man condemned to death struggles in the hands of the executioner, knowing that he cannot save himself. And every moment he felt that despite all his efforts he was drawing nearer and nearer to what terrified him. He felt that his agony was due to his being thrust into that black hole and still more to his not being able to get right into it. He was hindered from getting into it by his conviction that his life had been a good one. That very justification of his life held him fast and prevented his moving forward, and it caused him most torment of all.

Suddenly some force struck him in the chest and side, making it still harder to breathe, and he fell through the hole and there at the bottom was a light. What had happened to him was like the sensation one sometimes experiences in a railway carriage when one thinks one is going backwards while one is really going forwards and suddenly becomes aware of the real direction.

"Yes, it was not the right thing," he said to himself, "but that's no matter. It can be done. But what is the right thing? he asked himself, and suddenly grew quiet.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The name of my pet is Susan. She is a brown-colored and white stripped cat. She is also hairy and short-tailed. Susan, as I fondly call her, is a gentle cat that likes to sit calm on her couch while she watches me do my work. She is very smart and intelligent unlike her fellow cats in the neighborhood. Aside her food, Susan also feeds sumptuously on the rats that disturb my kitchen.

Explanation:

In the above, I was able to write a paragraph about my pet.

If you look at the paragraph, you will discover that I described how my pet looks at that if you step into my neighborhood today, you will be able to spot out my cat among other cats. My description is very vivid and clear. Also, I included how my pet acts.

Describe three ways poets and other writers can use commas to mark slight pauses in sentences.
mamaluj [8]

Comma. The comma is the punctuation symbol that has the most uses.

It serves a variety of purposes, but its two primary ones are (a) to interrupt the flow of thought with unnecessary expressions and (b) to separate elements to make the relationships between them more clear.

The comma is the most understated punctuation mark. It doesn't make a big deal out of itself or the material it separates or sets off. Examples of comma usage would only elicit a chorus of "duhs," as it is so widely used.

It suffices to say that a comma is typically the safe option to set off information and separate elements, provided that it doesn't interfere with any functions that are specifically reserved for the colon, semicolon, or parentheses.

1- interpret to what is the speaker referring in line 36 when he mentions another gift that this scene of tintern abbey has best
Aleks04 [339]

In "Lines Composed a Few Miles About Tintern Abbey (1798), Wordsworth evaluates his relationship with nature and the memories he had, contrasting how this relationship was in the past and how it is now.

In line 36 he mentions another gift that comes with age. This marks the passing of time and how he has matured. When he was a young boy, nature and the psysichal and material joy of it made all his world. The mountains, rivers and streams marked his passions and love. Now an old man, even if he cannot resume that relationship, he does not mourn because with age he has acquired a different relationship, more sublime in a spiritual way. He can now hear oftentimes "The still, sad music of humanity" and guard the heart of his moral being.
