What theme is portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? In reality it was just what is usually seen

in the houses of people of moderate means who want to appear rich, and therefore succeed only in resembling others like themselves: there are damasks, dark wood, plants, rugs, and dull and polished bronzes—all the things people of a certain class have in order to resemble other people of that class. His house was so like the others that it would never have been noticed, but to him it all seemed to be quite exceptional. He was very happy when he met his family at the station and brought them to the newly furnished house all lit up, where a footman in a white tie opened the door into the hall decorated with plants, and when they went on into the drawing-room and the study uttering exclamations of delight. He conducted them everywhere, drank in their praises eagerly, and beamed with pleasure.
a. the effect of consumerism
b. the power of wealth
c. keeping up appearances in society
d. conforming to societal conventions

From this excerpt, we can see that the theme depicted is (C) keeping up appearances in society. There is an indirect nod to theme in the first line "In reality it was just what is usually seen in the houses of people of moderate means who want to appear rich..."

It seems every individual wants to show that they are more affluent than they actually are, and in doing so they all purchase the same décor etc.

40 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a. the wish that he will meet God when he dies (it is, indeed, the correct choice)

Explanation:

A <em>bourne</em> is a literary word for a limit or boundary.

A <em>pilot</em> is an archaic word for a guide or a leader. The first letter is capitalized, which means it is not an ordinary guide or leader, but <em>the Guide </em>or <em>the Leader</em>. It is a pretty obvious reference to God, who, as Christians believe, guides us all.

Basically, what he says in these final lines is "although he may be carried beyond the limits of time and space as we know them, he retains the hope that he will look upon the face of his “Pilot”(i.e. God) when he has crossed the sand bar."

If you reread the entire poem, you will see that it is about Lord Tennyson's accepting death as an inevitable and natural part of life. He asks his family not to grieve over him when he dies. Nothing is said about love in the poem.

Which sentence contains an error in parallel structure?
Leya [2.2K]

In the sentence that has a parallel structure, the error is given in option (B). The business manager is bright, extremely creative, and generous with her thoughts.

<h3>How does parallel structure work?</h3>

A stylistic device known as the parallel structure is a grammatical formation made up of two or more clauses, phrases, or words that have the same length and grammatical form.

Parallelism is comparable to it. By maintaining the rhythm of the lines, sentences with a parallel structure consist of a number of phrases or clauses that begin and end almost in the same way.

These structures are repeats that provide the readers with a fun opportunity to take in and comprehend thoughts, facts, and concepts.

Due to the way it exploits word patterns and connects them to one another, parallel structure improves readability and fosters writing fluency.

It gives the appearance of sophisticated language, particularly in literature and advertising. Parallel structures also synchronize, repeat, and stress the writers' words and ideas.

In what ways does van gogh make the stars accessible
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vincent Van Gogh was the most well-known post-impressionist artist born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert. For him, colors were the symbol of expression. He was a missionary at his young age,  who was highly emotional and lacked self-confidence.

Starry Night is one of the famous painting by Van Gogh. Historians say that Van Gogh painted Starry Night when he was in mental hospital. Some theologians try to interpret his Starry Night in religious terms as Van Gogh was also religious. It is said that he painted this picture having a picture of Genesis 37:9 in mind in which Biblical Character Joseph sees a dream,

"Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, saying, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me."

Van Gogh in his painting also paints Eleven stars and the sun and the moon. With this interpretation in my mind Van Gogh made stars accessible in a way that just like Joseph's dream came true at the end of Genesis, one's dreams can also become true if we continue to believe in it despite the situation.
