The excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Ivan Ilyich use the Caius allusion to deal with his impending death when Ivan Ilyich regrets his wasted life and longs for the love of family and friends he has lost in the past. Ivan does not genuinely value friendship or family, for him, it is of mutual benefit. His lifestyle and the way his attitude is forming his life were incapable of facing the end of their life as the regrets are piling up because they do not understand the value of life and the meaning that it gives.

Answer:

Tolstoy conveys the negative aspects of Ivan Ilyich's attachment to duty, making him sick and remembering what he did during his time in health.

Explanation:

This work follows the trajectory that led to the death of Ivan Ilitch. Ivan is a judge who lived a life well inside the box: he graduated in law, progressed in positions in the jobs he held, married because he thought he was the best to do, had children and bought a house because he thought that it was his duty. While decorating his new living room, Ivan takes a slip and hits his back on a corner. Thinking it was just a light accident, he continues with his daily routines usually because that is what he should do.

The ending of the story is no secret - because the title makes it clear what the end of Ivan Ilitch will be - but instead of weakening the narrative, this allows Tolstoy to give even more realism to the characters. Each situation raises new questions, and as Ivan's illness progresses, he revises the path that has made him there. Well yes: the fall generated a disease, but that doctors do not know (or do not want) to diagnose. In fact, it matters little whether Ivan's physical problem is in the gut or kidney: his real dilemma is psychological.  This is because the character then begins a long process of searching for the meaning of life, during which he realizes that few moments of his existence have had meaning. Decisions, searches, gestures, words, all the answers and needs imposed by the social environment in which he was born, made him a strong attachment to duty and forgot to enjoy good and simple moments with his family.

This is a traditional Petrarchan Sonnet Rhyme Scheme, and even though not all lines are perfect rhymes, they are close enough.
For example the rhymes for lines 1, 4, 5, and 8 are borne, worn, turn, forlorn. "turn" is not a perfect rhyme with the 'orn' sound, but it fits in well enough to fill out the rhyme scheme. </span>

Answer:

Scene 3 starts out with everyone anticipating Mr. Franks signal that everything is fine and that they can break the silence. They don't want to be found, of course. When everything is clear, everyone is relieved. Anne takes Peter's shoes and he chases after her, and ends up getting angry. Peter goes to his room and Anne leaves him alone. Anne talks about how after all day, she just want to move around and dance, and that "there's something wrong with that boy [Peter]." Anne's father dances with her.

Peter feels ashamed when his mother is teasing him about his "little girl-friend" (Anne). The conversation is shifted when Mr. Frank comments how Miep is running a little late. Then, everyone hears a car outside screech. Everyone stops what they're doing to listen. But they hear it driving away, and everyone is relieved. Anne comes out of Peter's room after feeding his cat, and is wearing his clothes. Everyone is amused seeing her, and seeing Peter so angry. Peter calls her Mrs. Quack Quack, trying to distract the others with this. Anne and Peter continue to pester for a while.

Mrs. Frank thinks that Anne has a fever, but decides she's all right. Mr. Van Daan come into the room. They discuss their school work. After Anne asks Mrs. Van Daan if she can try on her coat, they start talking about boys and Mr. Van Daan seems like he's heard all about these stories too many times. Anne and Mr. Van Daan get into a little argument when he's looking for his pipe. Anne accidentally spills milk on Mrs. Van Daan's special coat. Mrs. Van Daan is absolutely furious. The Franks have a conversation about how Anne should be more like her sister, Margot, who is always kind to the guests. Anne is angry with this idea.

Miep finally arrives and everyone gives her their list of things they need. Mr. Kraler arrives as well, which is a surprise to everyone. His visit is rare, but he is a very likable person. He come with some news, that another Jew, a dentist, is in trouble, and needs somewhere to hide. He asks them if he could stay with them.  They discuss where the new guest would sleep for the few days he is there. Dussel, the new guest, meets everyone. Mr. Kraler says that he helps them because he doesn't like the Nazis telling the Dutch what to with Jews. Anne tells Dussel that they are sharing a room since space is tight.

While Anne and Dussel are going to sleep, they talk a bit, and Dussel tells her that he will have to get used to having a room mate since he has no one. Anne tells him the protocols and schedule. Dussel tells her he gets along with children well, so she won't have to worry. They talk and get to know each other a little bit, and get along just fine.

The scene ends.
