Which passage from Grendel best illustrates the theme "life is meaningless"? A. Be so kind as to give / us some advice, old man.

We've come on a fairly important errand. (154) B. I kiss the ice on the frozen creeks, I press my ear to it, honoring the water that rattles below, for by water they came. (151) C. Except in the life of a hero, the whole world's meaningless. The hero sees values beyond what's possible. That's the nature of a hero. (89) D. And yet I address him, whispering, whimpering, whining. "If you win, it's by mindless chance. Make no mistake." (171)

The correct answer is D.

This passage from "Grendel" reflects the theme "life is meaningless" because through it, we can understand that the speaker is allowing his oponent to win. That him wining would not be because of his streng and ability, but because of the speaker's loss of his will to live.

Which statement best summarizes the central theme of this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich?
Rashid [163]

The Death of Ivan IIyich, written by Leo Tolstoy and published in 1886, tells the story of a judge from the Court of Justice, Ivan, who has to face first a life without any substance or depth in it, which he embraces even if it hurts him and he is unhappy, an unhappy marriage with a family that barely cares for him, an accident that at first seems harmless but later on becomes the reason for his passing, his contact with innocence through his servant boy, Gerasim, which forces him to realize the difference between an artifical and an authentic life, and finally, his contact with death and its inevitability. In the end, Ivan realizes that death cannot be avoided and that embracing it and accepting it can be much less painful than fighting it. This is why the correct answer is 1. Acceptance of death causes less pain.

"mirror"
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,

<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>

The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.

By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.

By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.
