What sort of people served as a model for characters in movies like Scarface and Little Caesar?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Mobs or gangsters served as a model for these type of movies. These films are usually dealing with organized crime, often times with the mafia.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both films portray the lives of criminals, members of criminal gangs, and their incursions into organized crime.

Little Caesar narrates the rise and decline of Rico Bandello, a thug who began his criminal career by executing small thefts and ended his existence as the head of the city's most important mafia gang.

In the case of Scarface, it tells the story of Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant in Miami in the 1980s, who begins as a small cocaine dealer until he becomes the king of that drug in Florida.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggests that Ivan Ilyich tried his best to escape from the reality of his troubled family life? Praskovya Fedorovna blamed her husband for every inconvenience they encountered in their new home. Most of the conversations between husband and wife, especially as to the children's education, led to topics which recalled former disputes, and these disputes were apt to flare up again at any moment. There remained only those rare periods of amorousness which still came to them at times but did not last long. These were islets at which they anchored for a while and then again set out upon that ocean of veiled hostility which showed itself in their aloofness from one another. This aloofness might have grieved Ivan Ilyich had he considered that it ought not to exist, but he now regarded the position as normal, and even made it the goal at which he aimed in family life. His aim was to free himself more and more from those unpleasantness and to give them a semblance of harmlessness and propriety. He attained this by spending less and less time with his family, and when obliged to be at home he tried to safeguard his position by the presence of outsiders. The chief thing however was that he had his official duties. The whole interest of his life now centered in the official world and that interest absorbed him. The consciousness of his power, being able to ruin anybody he wished to ruin, the importance, even the external dignity of his entry into court, or meetings with his subordinates, his success with superiors and inferiors, and above all his masterly handling of cases, of which he was conscious—all this gave him pleasure and filled his life, together with chats with his colleagues, dinners, and bridge. So that on the whole Ivan Ilyich's life continued to flow as he considered it should do—pleasantly and properly.

Explain in detail in what sense does alyosha karamazov realize that he is free in dostoyevsky's the brothers karamazov.

Answers

Answer:

Alyosha Karamazov realized that he had a sense that he is free the same way the brothers Karamazov said that Christ Jesus is followed by all. This is because it's seen easier to follow someone than for one to decide to take action on his/her own.

Explanation:

"The Brothers Karamazov" tells the story three Russian brothers and their lives. They are so different in body, mind, and spirit. Looking at the three brothers, they are often thought of as representing those three parts of mankind.

The story was written in 1879 to 1880 in Russia by a Russian novelist, Fyodor Dostoevsky.
