By-and-by Tom's reading and dreaming about princely life wrought such a strong effect upon him that he began to ACT the prince,

unconsciously. His speech and manners became curiously ceremonious and courtly, to the vast admiration and amusement of his intimates. But Tom's influence among these young people began to grow now, day by day; and in time he came to be looked up to, by them, with a sort of wondering awe, as a superior being. He seemed to know so much! and he could do and say such marvellous things! and withal, he was so deep and wise! Tom's remarks, and Tom's performances, were reported by the boys to their elders; and these, also, presently began to discuss Tom Canty, and to regard him as a most gifted and extraordinary creature. Full-grown people brought their perplexities to Tom for solution, and were often astonished at the wit and wisdom of his decisions. In fact he was become a hero to all who knew him except his own family—these, only, saw nothing in him. Privately, after a while, Tom organised a royal court! He was the prince; his special comrades were guards, chamberlains, equerries, lords and ladies in waiting, and the royal family. Daily the mock prince was received with elaborate ceremonials borrowed by Tom from his romantic readings; daily the great affairs of the mimic kingdom were discussed in the royal council,and daily his mimic highness issued decrees to his imaginary armies, navies, and viceroyalties. After which, he would go forth in his rags and beg a few farthings, eat his poor crust, take his customary cuffs and abuse, and then stretch himself upon his handful of foul straw, and resume his empty grandeurs in his dreams. (from The Prince and The Pauper by Mark Twain) Question 52 of 68 Which inference can be made from the passage? Tom was a war hero. Tom was thought to be wiser than most adults. Tom was a real prince in disguise. Tom was an advisor in the royal court.

"For a long time his pain and hunger, and the swearing and fighting going on in the building, kept him awake; but at last his thoughts drifted away to far, romantic lands, and he fell asleep in the company of jewelled and gilded princelings who live in vast palaces, and had servants salaaming before them or flying to execute their orders. And then, as usual, he dreamed that he was a princeling himself."

One of your coworkers is having a difficult time with some personal problems. He is allowing those problems to interfere with hi
Flura [38]

Answer:

If you want to be nice about it, you say "hey, I know you've been having a tough time lately, and i've been helping you with some of your work, but it's just too much for me to pile on. I can help sometimes but not always, and what you're going through you can get through it, and maybe if you do some work it would take your mind off of things. Also, if you need to talk and/or vent come to me or someone that you trust."

Or you can just dump the pile onto someone else or simply refuse to do his work or do your first and then do his and not stress yourself, when he has something to do. Or just tell him get it together while he's at work and go home to be in a mood.

Whatever you feel would work best!
