Which lines in this excerpt from Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich demonstrate that Gerasim is a character foil to Ivan Ilyich? But he had never had the spirit to do it. The awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost indecorous incident (as if someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which he had served all his life long. He saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. Only Gerasim recognized it and pitied him. And so Ivan Ilyich felt at ease only with him. He felt comforted when Gerasim supported his legs (sometimes all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "Don't you worry, Ivan Ilyich. I'll get sleep enough later on," or when he suddenly became familiar and exclaimed: "If you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should I grudge a little trouble?" Gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came.

Answer 1
Answer:

The answer is the following lines: “Gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"

Indeed, a foil in literature is a character whose physical and/or moral qualities contrast the protagonist’s. Gerasim is everything Ivan Illytch is not; he is compassionate, spiritual, and authentic, virtues that Ivan Illytch does not share until now. As a foil for the main character he is also its mirror and makes both the reader and the protagonist question themselves about the true meaning of life.

Answer 2
Answer: The answer is the sentence "Gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. " A character foil is defined as a character who contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist) in order to highlight particular qualities of the othercharacter.
Gerasim is Goodness personified. In the desert of falseness and fakery that is Ivan Ilych's world, Gerasim is the lone oasis of genuine honesty and kindness. Besides young Vasya, he's the one character who is obviously not false.

Answers

The correct answer in this case would be B - Hrothgar. There are many instances in Grendel where we can become attentive to the fact that Hrothgar displays different characteristics which we would usuallly atribute only to characters that would be considered "round". Other characters also don't seem to come close to what could be perceived as a round character.

Can someone pls help me create a horror story? i want it to be like the anime "another" however the main character is the extra person. ​​

Answers

Well it depends on the types of horror you'd like to create

If you want to create a psychological thriller-type of horror, try to tap into what people fear most deep down inside of them.

Not clowns, or heights, or sharks, but what would happen if you felt as if you were being watched and it turned you insane!

Other horror/fear could be manifested in the design of your characters.

Give them unsettling features like huge eyes and tiny pupils, sharp teeth, unnatural face or body proportions

Or simply do the classic horror with unnexpected action and killing!

There is so much to choose from.

In order to make your anime like "Another," you need to have the element of the "unknown." Create an entity, a phenomemnon, or event that is unexpected and still trying to be discovered or explained. Additionally, there is gore and very very detailed descriptions and depictions of deaths.
