What are the key similarities between Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream?

English

Allushta [10]4 years ago
8 0

Tolstoy's novel and Munch's painting show the darkness hidden within everyday life. Ivan Ilych was a mediocre man until his sickness forces him to reckon with his mortality. His story shows that people go through life pretending that they will not die, and that knowledge of death can make all the petty distractions of life meaningless. In Munch's painting, the screaming figure can be read as experiencing a devastating realization. Perhaps he is just know admitting to himself that he will die. Both works show emotional challenges that humans face, though other options are also valid: one could argue that they show the artists’ struggle with the concept of the afterlife and, at the same time, that they are a celebration of human life and spirituality. Even though the story makes no promises regarding what will come after, Ivan Ilych gains a greater spiritual insight through his ordeal. Facing death both shows the limits and the possibilities of human life.

On the Friday before his sculpture project was due, Jack had still been
xenn [34]

Answer:

The statement which best explains how Jack's motivation leads to a conflict is:

A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.

Explanation:

According to the passage, Jack had a couple of excuses to not do his art work. First, the basketball practices, then the chores. Let's say Jack did not have a choice concerning the practices, after all playing a sport may be a big deal in his student life. He might, for instance, hope for a sports scholarship when he goes to college. However, we cannot say Jack did not have a choice concerning his chores. He could very well have spoken to his parents and told them he had an important art project to work on. It is very likely that they would have allowed him to go work on it instead of do chores. Why didn't he say anything then?

We can assume that Jack would rather do other things than work on the art project. If that weren't the case, he would have tried harder to find the time for it. Now, his teacher is disappointed, and Jack will certainly be in trouble. With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option:

A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.

How and why was dr kings use of non violence so effective in creating lasting social change?
NeX [460]
What made dr kings use of non violence so effective was because of all the media attention the civil rights movement was receiving. It was through such media outlets like television, newspaper and radio that king demonstrated to America and the whole world that the black community wasn't going to bend their knees to white oppression, and that it was in fact the black community that held the moral high ground. This helped create a culture of non violent protest throughout the nation that would continue well beyond the passing of the civil rights act and into present day.
