Which sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich show Ivan Ilyich’s struggle with his life and his in

ability to let go of his past? For three whole days, during which time did not exist for him, he struggled in that black sack into which he was being thrust by an invisible, resistless force. He struggled as a man condemned to death struggles in the hands of the executioner, knowing that he cannot save himself. And every moment he felt that despite all his efforts he was drawing nearer and nearer to what terrified him. He felt that his agony was due to his being thrust into that black hole and still more to his not being able to get right into it. He was hindered from getting into it by his conviction that his life had been a good one. That very justification of his life held him fast and prevented his moving forward, and it caused him most torment of all. Suddenly some force struck him in the chest and side, making it still harder to breathe, and he fell through the hole and there at the bottom was a light. What had happened to him was like the sensation one sometimes experiences in a railway carriage when one thinks one is going backwards while one is really going forwards and suddenly becomes aware of the real direction. "Yes, it was not the right thing," he said to himself, "but that's no matter. It can be done. But what is the right thing? he asked himself, and suddenly grew quiet.

Mama's plant and Beneatha's hair are two significant symbols in the drama <em>A Raisin in the Sun</em>. The meaning in Mama's plant comes from the fact that the family is symbolized by the plant. In the same manner that she takes care of the family, Mama is as committed to caring for the plant. Despite its bad surroundings, the plant thrives because she wants it to. This is comparable to the family's growth, which similarly prospers in spite of its challenging conditions. We can observe that Beneatha's hair represents the identity and self-development changes she experiences in this situation. Although she starts off with straightened hair, she grows more at ease with her natural hair as she gains pride in her lineage and self-assurance.

The puzzle reads: “10 fish are in a tank!
Art [367]
<span>
</span> <span> It’s 10 </span>

Firstly, fish don’t drown, not in the conventional sense anyway.

Secondly, if they are all in a tank, the fish cannot swim out of it or escape.

And thirdly, if three have died, they would be floating at the top of the
tank.

Which means all 10 would still be in the tank.
