djverab [1.8K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Myrtle it using the terms "you can't live forever" in two ways, one being the way that you feel immortal (through actions that you commit) and the other facing the reality that you can't live forever even if you wanted to.

It's ironic because of this, you can feel mortal but you aren't, its more empathetic than humorous.

Based on the information presented in "i believe in the also rans" what is one message the reader can infer
nadezda [96]

Answer:

winning does not necessarily mean achieving the first position.

Explanation:

In the short essay "I Believe in the Also-Rans " by Clive B, the author attempts to remind the readers how achievements in schools and universities have very little to do once we enter the real world.

He thinks that humans are depressed because we glorify winning and achieving great heights too much. Clive realizes this when he notice how Cyrus, one among his daughter's two playmates, proclaims and shout in celebration that he won the third place in the race although there were only three of them.

The one message that we can infer from this essay is winning does not necessarily mean achieving the first position. It can also mean accomplishing or completing the race.
