Read this passage from “The First Seven Years.” Which two characters are being most clearly contrasted with each other in this p

assage?
Feld, the shoemaker, was annoyed that his helper, Sobel, was so insensitive to his reverie that he wouldn’t for a minute cease his fanatic pounding at the other bench. He gave him a look, but Sobel’s bald head was bent over the last as he worked, and he didn’t notice. The shoemaker shrugged and continued to peer through the partly frosted window at the nearsighted haze of falling February snow. Neither the shifting white blur outside, nor the sudden deep remembrance of the snowy Polish village where he had wasted his youth, could turn his thoughts from Max the college boy (a constant visitor in the mind since early that morning when Feld saw him trudging through the snowdrifts on his way to school), whom he so much respected because of the sacrifices he had made throughout the years—in winter or direst heat—to further his education. An old wish returned to haunt the shoemaker: that he had had a son instead of a daughter, but this blew away in the snow, for Feld, if anything, was a practical man. Yet he could not help but contrast the diligence of the boy, who was a peddler’s son, with Miriam’s unconcern for an education. True, she was always with a book in her hand, yet when the opportunity arose for a college education, she had said no she would rather find a job. He had begged her to go, pointing out how many fathers could not afford to send their children to college, but she said she wanted to be independent. As for education, what was it, she asked, but books, which Sobel, who diligently read the classics, would as usual advise her on. Her answer greatly grieved her father.

katrin [286]

Answer:

today, I went to school after a ten months break. I was very excited to meet my old friends and greet my new teachers, but the pandemic is still raging with cases rising higher than ever, and the thought of getting infected by a classmate petrified me. As I sit down on my desk, which has been spaced out from everyone, a rush of thoughts raced through my mind: What is lunch gonna be like? Are we even allow to sit next to each other? The depressing reality that were living in is truly broken; a dark time that can instill fear into both adults and children.

Problems of the<br>story in the jaw<br>the alligators ​
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Did you know that the jaws of most crocodiles and alligators can be held closed with a rubber band? Their jaws close with tremendous force and sink into prey with tons of pressure (alligator = 2,980 psi [pounds per square inch] — Crocodile = 5,000 psi), but the muscles that open the jaws are weak.
