In this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich, how does ivan ilyich use the caius allusion to deal with his impending death? in the depth of his heart he knew he was dying, but not only was he not accustomed to the thought, he simply did not and could not grasp it. the syllogism he had learnt from kiesewetter's logic: "caius is a man, men are mortal, therefore caius is mortal," had always seemed to him correct as applied to caius, but certainly not as applied to himself. that caius—man in the abstract—was mortal, was perfectly correct, but he was not caius, not an abstract man, but a creature quite, quite separate from all others. he had been little vanya, with a mamma and a papa, with mitya and volodya, with the toys, a coachman and a nurse, afterwards with katenka and will all the joys, griefs, and delights of childhood, boyhood, and youth. what did caius know of the smell of that striped leather ball vanya had been so fond of? had caius kissed his mother's hand like that, and did the silk of her dress rustle so for caius? had he rioted like that at school when the pastry was bad? had caius been in love like that? could caius preside at a session as he did? "caius really was mortal, and it was right for him to die; but for me, little vanya, ivan ilyich, with all my thoughts and emotions, it's altogether a different matter. it cannot be that i ought to die. that would be too terrible." such was his feeling. a. ivan ilyich discovers his own individuality through memories and realizes the unfairness of death. b. ivan ilyich regrets his wasted life and longs for the love of family and friends he has lost in the past. c. ivan ilyich is terrified of death, and considering it in an abstract way is the only way he can deal with it. d. ivan ilyich realizes how unfair death is and becomes even more determined to save himself in any way he can. e. ivan ilyich realizes that his time is running out and that his life has been no more meaningful than that of caius's. nextreset

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
