"i sit and look out"
walt whitman

i sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame;
i hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done;
i see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate;
i see the wife misused by her husband—i see the treacherous seducer of young women;
i mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hid—i see these sights on the earth;
i see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny—i see martyrs and prisoners;
i observe a famine at sea—i observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill'd, to preserve the lives of the rest;
i observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;
all these—all the meanness and agony without end, i sitting, look out upon,
see, hear, and am silent.

"first they came "
martin niemöller

first they came for the socialists, and i did not speak out-—
because i was not a socialist.
then they came for the trade unionists, and i did not speak out—
because i was not a trade unionist.
then they came for the jews, and i did not speak out-—
because i was not a jew.
then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

"you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him.- with his legs up" she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said"what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancles of that kind, but we must forgive them they all rose, said good-night and went away when they had gone it seemed to ivan ilyich that he felt better, the falsity had gone with them. but the pain remained--that same pain and that same fear that made everything monotonously alike, nothing harder and nothing easier. everything was worse again minute followed minute and hour followed hour everything remained the same and there was no cessation. and the inevitable end of it all became more and more terrible based on the excerpt, how is praskovya fedorovna a character foil to ivan ilyich? a. she is kind and takes care of ivan, which is why he feels guilty about how he treated her for most of their married life • b. she is vindictive toward ivan while pretending to be worried about him, thus reminding him of how his family has never forgiven him she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates c. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful-everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to
