Near the middle of paragraph 2, the author describes a "young man, a new comer" who shows sympathy for Akakiy. Write an imagined journal entry from the young
man's point of view as he reflects back on the situation later in life and the effects it has
had on his life. Use what you have read in the passage to provide specific details relevant
to the young man and Akakiy.

Dear Diary

Today I was admitted as a civil servant and was able to start work in my sector. I was very excited as this is an important step in adult life and a pleasant way to have financial independence.

I was very well received by my co-workers and I have nothing to complain about the way I was treated. However, something bothered me a lot and made me sad and anguished.

In the same sector as me, there is a man called Akakiy. He is a silent and strange man, but he does no harm to anyone and is so mistreated by all employees in the sector, especially by those who are close to mine. Akakiy does not fight back and pretends that nothing is happening, but the employees continue to mistreat him. Worst of all, Akakiy does nothing that deserves it, since he does his job efficiently and does not treat anyone unkindly.

It faxes me to think about how cruel and mean human beings can be. I don't want to be that kind of person and whenever I can show kindness to him. I hope that this situation will teach me to be a kind person and that my actions in the future will always be good and never evil and cruel to people who do not deserve it.
