Lots of the primary purpose of a short story is to entertain its readers. however, short stories can do much more than simply entertain: they can teach you valuable lessons and introduce you to new, exciting ideas. think of a short story that you’ve read that has meant something to you. it can be one of the short stories from this unit or one that you’ve read on your own. think about why you like the story you have chosen. then, compare and contrast the short story to other stories you’ve read. explain what makes the story you chose stand out more than other stories. did the point of view make the story particularly appealing to you? did the characters or the setting draw you in? was the writing style inviting and approachable? what was it about the story’s message and ideas that interested you?

Which two passages in this excerpt from the death of ivan illych does leo tolstoy use to suggest that ivan ilych feels like his life is slipping away from him?

"death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
