Answer:
D Conclusion. But I do think it makes a better introduction.
Explanation:
If it was there, introduction would be a good answer.
Since it is not there, I would choose Rising Action but I can see Conclusion being correct as well. Since most of the important verb tense is past, then perhaps Conclusion is the right answer.
As evident in this excerpt from Hamlet, "<span>How can this player be so filled with grief and rage over Priam and Hecuba, imaginary figures whom he doesn’t even know, while I, who have every reason to rage and grieve and seek revenge, am weak, uncertain, and incapable of action?", the theme that Hamlet refers to talks about the fear about the possible outcomes of his actions and meaninglessness of life. </span>
Is there a story or article where this is used in? If not then I'd say hyperbole. "Ice storm of glass" is heavily exaggerated.
The executioner (symbol) He struggled as a man condemned to death struggles in the hands of the executioner, knowing that he cannot save himself. (Excerpt) The executioner symbolizes death. Ivan Ilyich realizes that he cannot escape death. (significance)
the black hole (symbol) 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.(excerpt) The black hole symbolizes Ivan Ilyich’s refusal to accept death. It also symbolizes his denial that his life has lacked meaning or purpose. This denial prolongs and worsens his misery. (significance)
the light (symbol) 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… At that very moment Ivan Ilyich fell through and caught sight of the light, and it was revealed to him that though his life had not been what it should have been, this could still be rectified… In place of death there was light.(excerpt) The light symbolizes Ivan Ilyich’s moving from the darkness and ignorance in his life into the final stage of understanding and acceptance of his condition. This acceptance helps him conquer his fear of death.
