What theme is portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich?

English
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
3 0
One of the recurring themes in the Death of Ivan Ilyich is the two lives that people live in. One is the shallow way of life which consists of materialism and selfishness. The second is the real life which shows the truer meaning of life through deep human relationships, sense of belonging, and strength of character. The shallow life is said to be the one that overshadows the real life because most people only want what is on the surface. Another theme is the acceptance of death. This is seen when Ivan tries to accept death with great difficulty. The sooner he accepted his death, the happier he became and the more he saw the deeper things in life.

What does probability have to do with heredity?
navik [9.2K]
The concept of heredity is that genes are not randomly passed down. Well, technically they are but we use punett squares to predict the chances of passing certain traits. Because virtually all traits that are dominant are more common than recessive ones, and because all genes are not passed in a completely random way, it is not just pure chance, but calculated chance by which we can predict the probability of what genes are passed down. Hope this helps!

State the speaker of the following quote, "You don’t know the meaning of the word ‘liberating’ until you’ve done that, stood in
Oxana [17]

The speaker of this quote is Assef. He has become a Taliban official, and in these lines, he explains what he believes is the work of the Taliban. He argues that, by working with the Taliban, he feels "liberated." He also tells us that he believes his actions (murder, destruction, etc.) are the work of God. These statements are ironic because we do not normally associate the work of God with suffering and destruction. The statement is meat to demonstrate how the Taliban has twisted the ideas of Islam to its benefit.

Read this excerpt from Helen Keller’s autobiography The Story of My Life.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

She recognizes the connection between objects and words.

Explanation:

Helen Keller had already begun forming letters with her fingers, so water was not the first word she wrote.

Helen had broken the doll way before she went to the well. In fact, she forgets the frustration she felt before after she touches the doll and she says she regretted the doll after.

The honeysuckle thing is irrelevant to this question.

Helen could not understand the connection between words and objects because mug and water were essentially the same thing to her. Once she was away from the vessels, the jugs, mugs and saucers, and felt the water in the well gush in between her fingers, Helen understood "water" but more importantly, she understood words.
