Read the passage from "How Should One Read a Book?” Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. The reader can conclude that the passage comes from a(n) biography. essay. myth. play.

QUESTION POSTED AT 29/05/2020 - 03:06 PM

What opinion about Russian society does Leo Tolstoy express in this excerpt from The Death of Ivan Ilyich? The awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost indecorous incident (as if someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which he had served all his life long. He saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. Only Gerasim recognized it and pitied him. And so Ivan Ilyich felt at ease only with him. He felt comforted when Gerasim supported his legs (sometimes all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "Don't you worry, Ivan Ilyich. I'll get sleep enough later on," or when he suddenly became familiar and exclaimed: "If you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should I grudge a little trouble?" Gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. A.The peasant class in nineteenth-century Russia was full of honest and compassionate people. B.Educated professionals gained influence in Russian society in the nineteenth century. C.In the nineteenth century, middle-class Russians were rich and well-educated. D.Peasants more readily accepted unpleasant facts of life, while the middle class tried to deny them.

The first thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man Rainsford had ever seen—a gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist. In his hand the man held a long-barreled revolver, and he was pointing it straight at Rainsford's heart.

QUESTION POSTED AT 29/05/2020 - 12:19 PM

Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? And am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us? Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions! Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold, that a nation’s sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude, that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish, that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation’s jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? I am not that man. In a case like that, the dumb might eloquently speak, and the “lame man leap as an hart.” Which statement best describes why this excerpt contains an example of deductive reasoning? It contains specific details that support a variety of different ideas. It begins with broad statements and ends with more specific ones. It uses clear examples that are easily understood by all readers. It starts with a very simple idea and builds to a much grander idea.

In all my years at Shawshank, there have been less than ten men whom I believed when they told me they were innocent. Andy Dufresne was one of them, although I only became convinced of his innocence over a period of years. If I had been on the jury that heard his case in Portland Superior Court over six stormy weeks in 1947-48, I would have voted to convinct, too. Source: King, Stephen. "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." Different Seasons. New York: Penguin Group, 1982. Google Books. Web. 16 May 2011. How does the point of view in the excerpt affect the characterization in the text? Characterization emphasizes action and dialogue through third-person point of view. Characterization occurs through the point of view of an all-seeing narrator who interprets and makes judgments. Characterization occurs through the potentially biased point of view of one character. The excerpt is lacking any definite point of view because the narrator is not identified.
