Jane lively appeared on laurie pritchart’s front porch while morning frost was still on the grass. the scattered clouds on the horizon were orange and pink, painting those same colors in reflections from the aluminum silo. the faint mooing of cows drifted from the barn, and jeb pritchart was busy fiddling with the spark plugs on his aging john deere tractor. he didn’t seem to notice the arrival of jane’s pickup truck. perhaps he didn’t care to notice it.

“morning, jane,” laurie said, stepping out onto the porch. “what brings you over so early? ”

as usual, jane’s mouth had a sour twist to it. “laurie,” she said, “i think you know why.”

laurie forced a smile. “is this about our fence line? ”

jane folded her burly arms across her chest, looked grim, and nodded. “two of your steers are poking around in our south pasture again.”

laurie laughed. “well, i’ll get jeb to send bobby over there to collect them—soon as i get a minute.”

“well,” jane said sharply, “i expect you to get to it right away. and i expect jeb to get to fixing that fence real quick. i don’t trust that bobby loomis to fix it right.”

laurie was about to ask jane if she wanted to come in for coffee, but she just couldn’t get the words out. instead, she just nodded.

jane turned on her heels, stomped off the porch, and marched back to her pickup. laurie remained standing on the porch taking deep breaths.

jeb still had his head buried under the engine cover of the tractor. he never looked up until the dusty trail of jane’s pickup was a half mile down the road. finally, with a clang, he closed the engine cover and looked up at laurie. “what is it this time? ” he called out.

“same as last time,” laurie called back. “jane still thinks that pasture fence is on our land.”

what can you infer about jane lively’s personality?

what evidence did you find to support your inference?

the passage doesn’t reveal who bobby loomis is, but what can be inferred about his relationship to the pritcharts?

how could you infer that jane lively has a bias about bobby loomis?

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life? "but if that is so," he said to himself, "and i am leaving this life with the consciousness that i have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then? " he lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. in the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. in them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. this consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. he groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. and he hated them on that account. he was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. he drove everybody away and tossed from side to side. his wife came to him and said: "jean, my dear, do this for me. it can't do any harm and often . healthy people often do it." he opened his eyes wide. "what? take communion? why? it's unnecessary! " she began to cry. "yes, do, my dear. i'll send for our priest. he is such a nice man." "all right. very well," he muttered. when the priest came and heard his confession, ivan ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. he again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. he received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.
