At the law courts too, Ivan Ilych noticed, or thought he noticed, a strange attitude towards himself. It sometimes seemed to him that people were watching him inquisitively as a man whose place might soon be vacant.
Then again, his friends would suddenly begin to chaff him in a friendly way about his low spirits, as if the awful, horrible, and unheard-of thing that was going on within him, incessantly gnawing at him and irresistibly drawing him away, was a very agreeable subject for jests.
Ivan Ilych settled down very pleasantly in this new town. The society there, which inclined towards opposition to the governor was friendly, his salary was larger, and he began to play *vint* [a form of bridge], which he found added not a little to the pleasure of life, for he had a capacity for cards, played good-humouredly, and calculated rapidly and astutely, so that he usually won.
Ivan Ilych was esteemed a good official, and after three years was made Assistant Public Prosecutor. His new duties, their importance, the possibility of indicting and imprisoning anyone he chose, the publicity his speeches received, and the success he had in all these things, made his work still more attractive.
The excerpt from The Death of Ivan Ilych that can be used as textual evidence to support a thesis statement on the theme of loneliness is ‘There was no deceiving himself: something terrible, new, and more important than anything before in his life, was taking place within him of which he alone was aware’.

How can technology make news more engaging and understandable?
Different news outlets use different methods to keep your interest. A radio news segment about a parade might include music or sounds of people cheering. A newspaper might choose an active picture of an athlete for a story about a football game. CNN once even used holographic images to make their field reporters appear to be standing in the newsroom with the anchors!
Find an example of one recent news story that you think has used technology successfully and include the link for the story in your submission. This example can include graphic art, photography, interactive elements, audio, or another form of technology that has improved your ability to appreciate and understand the news.

In the first place by reaching more people in different media forms (electronic newspaper, cellphone messages, video capsules in your cellphone app, dedicated multiple news social media pages, etc), In second place by providing content to inform as much as media can, about the real situation. In the form of a video, photography, graphic, study report, etc. And Finally in third place by surfing between social media algorithms to deliver the observer the topics he is interested in, for example: if you look in google about Justin Bieber, the news feed will suggest the newest notes about him.
An example of this is the next news published in cnn international the 3rd of october of 2019 called: Shipwrecked Colombian 'smugglers' found floating on packages of cocaine
In this article, we can observe a regular drug smuggler case in Colombia, the country in which these kinds of events are so often that they don’t generate any attention. However, for a different country in which drug smuggling is not such a common thing, this generates controversy. Something that without the technology we have today wouldn’t have reached our eyes, we can even see the drugs packages and the smugglers in the middle of the water, in our pc and cellphone, in the middle of a mountain in which only 4g or 5g internet is the only source of internet communication.
