Vladimir and lisa have different attitudes toward ivan ilyich’s illness. which of the two attitudes does tolstoy appear to support? why? use evidence from the text to support your response

Vladimir  seems to be the only person who undestands his father´s illness.Uncorrupted by the social world in which he grew up thanks to his father, he is capable of trying to connect with Ivan.Ivan himself  can see the look in the eyes of his son, he understands Vaya´s feelings are different from the falsity of the wife and daughter.

Lisa shares her views with those of her mother.More materialistic and self- indulgent she is deeply disturbed by her father´s indisposition.When in the room where his father is lying she and her mother comment on the acting of Sarah Bernhardt,she notices her father´s disapproval and leaves the room.She has not been there to take care of his father but to fulfil a sense of duty given her position.

Tolstoy appears to support the view of the boy.Ivan has learned a lesson about the material world, and hipocrisy and the boy sympathises with the father.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.

one time i was sleeping on a bench outside of walgreens and someone offered me money because they thought i was homeless
