Jakovlevitch is not so much astounded by the fact that he found a nose in a baked roll as he is frightened by the fact that it is a familiar nose, and an official one - belonging to the Collegiate Assessor Kovalev. So, this is a nose with a rank - not high enough to please its owner, but higher than Jakovlevitch's modest social position. Jakovlevitch is afraid: he must have cut off the nose while he was drunk!

Gogol uses the nose to satirize obsessions of Russian society with rank and social status. Kovalev himself is apparently unsatisfied with his status as a civil servant (and that is all he cares about). So, when he sees his nose in a uniform which implies a higher status, he doesn't know what to do, how to behave. He acts as a sycophant. "'How, even so, am I to approach it?' Kovalev reflected. 'Everything about it, uniform, hat, and all, seems to show that it is a State Councilor now. Only the devil knows what is to be done!' He started to cough in the Nose's vicinity, but the Nose did not change its position for a single moment."

Imagine you are assigned to write a paper on a social problem in America. What writing activity or activities will help you to g
Andre45 [30]

Whenever you are tasked with a writing project, there are a few different strategies that you can follow and that would most likely help you generate ideas for your paper.

In this example, your topic is social problems in America. The first thing you should do is focus on what you already know. You should think of social problems that you are familiar with. This might include subjects such as poverty, malnutrition or crime. An activity that could help you think of such concepts would be brainstorming.

The next step would be researching. You should use information sources in order to learn more about social problems in America. This might lead you to come up with ideas you had not thought about before.

After these two steps, you are likely to have an idea that would be a suitable topic for a paper.
