What is Ishmael describing when he states, "…whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing

up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street…"?

With these lines, Ishmael is describing the perception of human mortality and all that it represents.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Ishmael is showing how the notion of mortality prevents him from doing what he feels like when he attends a funeral.
  • That's because when he stops in front of coffin warehouses or realizes he's in the back of a funeral, he recognizes how fleeting human life is.
  • This sense of recognition of his mortality shows Ishmael that one day, he will be inside the coffin.
  • This prevents him from being disrespectful and acting as he pleases at funerals, as she does not want to be disrespected on the day of his death.

In this case, the notion of mortality is presented imposingly in the lines presented above. This makes the reader understand that the concept of death will be very important in the story.

Glanz says that students like describe their describe their teachers as "drips, bores, and numerous varieties of idiots." Write
Iteru [2.4K]

in one of my health classes, the teacher was the most helpful i’ve ever had, yes, teachers are supposed to be helpful but he was the best at it. He always pushed us to be better people and to better understand the world. This teacher was bright and creative, and he always came up with new things to support us to keep going. I’ve had good teachers before but he topped all of them, and i appreciate how hard he tried to keep us focused.

not sure if that answered your question but if you want to write it differently i think you should keep the topic the same throughout and convince people reading why you believe your teacher was good/bad :)
