   At the end of Guy de Maupassant's "Was it a Dream?" the main character discovers through his dead mistress inscription on her tomb, in reality, in a delusion or a dream, that she was going to cheat on him when she caught a disease in the cold rain and died. In that dream, all the other dead people changed the good inscriptions written by their family with the truth about themselves. We can suppose the author means that at the end of our lives, someone that loves us remembers ourselves as good people, under their loving eyes, despite our many faults; Or in other words, that "love is blind". Then you may agree or not with it.

Answer:

What the author is saying about love in <em>Was it a Dream?</em> is that love is something strange and inexplicable. A person who loves another becomes blind. He only manages to think about the person he loves, he does not conceive of life without the presence of his beloved one and turns to an obsession.

Considering the end of the story, it can be said that the author interprets that the loved ones might not deserve all that love or even did not want it.

The author lies unconscious beside his wife's grave, realizing that all the love he had for her was in vain because she had cheated on him.

What was your reaction when you read the first line of The Nickel Boys? For reference, the line is "Elwood received the best gif
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Find the answers and explanations below.

Explanation:

1. The aspects of the line that inspire interest in Elwood include

a. The best gift of his life. One wonders what the best gift could be and its importance to him.

b. ...even if the ideas it put into his head were his undoing. The reader might also wonder what the ideas were and why it would cause Elwood's undoing.

2. Mysterious things are unknown and hard to explain. The best gift of his life is mysterious because the reader has no idea of what that gift could be because not much is known about the protagonist. The ideas in his head which would cause his undoing are also mysterious.

3. The phrase I would want to be explained to me is; The best gift of his life. When I know what that gift is, it would help me understand the personality of Elwood and why he had ideas in his head on receiving the gift.

4. The author can explain it further because he knows the qualities of the characters involved in the story.

5. One possibility could be that the gift has a major significance in the story.

Another possibility could be that the gift promoted an ideology that the protagonist holds dear.

The use of the phrase might have also been to whet the reader's interest in the story.

6. I think that the last reason is most likely. Seeing that the reader is not yet acquainted with the character, the mystery surrounding the best gift would make him wonder what that gift was. He would also want to find out by reading more of the story.
