This question is about "Time Enough at Last"

Answer:

The irony is that Bemis was always wishing that there was no one to hinder him from reading.

Explanation:

Henry Bemis is an avid reader, but besides not having much time to read, he is interrupted all the time which hinders his reading. He hates this and has a strong desire to be alone and with plenty of time to read in peace. The ironic is his wish happens and an H-bomb hits his city killing all the inhabitants, except him who was protected by the building where he was.

when he finds himself alone in the world, Henry Bemis is desperate and tries to find a way to die.

inessss [21]

Answer:

         In this excerpt from A World Without Collisions, Sam describes how he dreams the world to be in the future. I think his main idea has good intentions, he feels sorry for those who get hurt in "learning how to live life". He also seems to think that everybody should take control of their lives and don't be just a victim on everything that happens. This way of thinking has good intentions, but it is not always realistic or even easy to do.

         First of all, unexpected things happen in life and some are pretty big and sad, and we do not control everything that happens around us. It is true that we can try and control our emotions in order to feel better, but not what happens outside our bodies. The thing is also, we can chose not to be victims, but it is healthy sometimes to embrace the bad feelings to because only by accepting our sadnesses or pains is that we will be able to move forward. If we deny this bad feeling, our bodies will eventually speak for us and show us that we have been hiding important issues that we should face. I agree, we should "dance life like champions", but doing so is also embracing the bad feelings, connecting with them, and get pass through them. We ARE going to get hurt "in all that bumping" and it is ok.

Answer:

A.) Most Russians in the 1890s were not wealthy.

Explanation:

In the passage, it is described that a majority of Russians only used 8 pounds, while a majority of the British used a whopping 90 pounds. This is more than 9 times the amount that Russian people used.

It is also shown that only the super-wealthy used Sugar in Russia and that the difference between the two was staggering.
