How does Chekhov portray the cultural experiences of people of low rank in this passage? He shows that they believe their rulers should continue to lead them even when the rulers are no longer in power.

He shows that they depend on their superiors' approval and heap praise on their superiors to curry favor.

He shows that they are treated disrespectfully by their social and economic superiors.

He shows that they hope to better their lot in life by proving their value to society.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.

the answer is #2 if im not mistaken

the answer is: poetry.
