Drinking the water and staying with them forever
Answer:
Part IV shows the narrator's considerations about the story, while the other parts present the story itself.
Explanation:
"The nose" is a short story written by Nicholau Gogol that portrays the fantasy story of a nose that came out of its owner's face and took on a life of its own and decides to live independently. The short story is a satire and is divided into several parts.
Part IV proves to be the most different of all, since it counts on the narrator's considerations, the most "nosense" points of the narrative, while the other parts are summarized to tell the facts that compose the story itself.
I inferred you are referring to this excerpt from the text;
"Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, — if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing."
<u>Explanation</u>:
The author here uses her personal experience of been deaf-blind to assert that an individual's happiness is not dependent on his or her circumstances. Helen says "I who cannot hear or see...I am happy in spite of my deprivations if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life."
We notice her use of convincing language such as when she says "my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing", this language gives her message a convincing feel.
