What Goes Around Is Bad Circulation by c. safos

Pablo did his best to keep quiet. He had pulled his legs behind the door and out of sight. He had folded himself tight behind Amy's closet door and waited. It was cramped, and his knees were in his chest. He could feel the blood pumping into his heart. It made his legs tingle as if ants were crawling on his skin, but he knew it was because his legs were crossed, and the blood was pumping hard.
Suddenly, he heard a sound from the bedroom. This is it, he thought to himself. Now, she'll pay for hiding my video game controller. Amy was settling into her desk and pulling out her homework assignment from her bag.
Pablo was just about to spring forward when he heard his mom's voice call upstairs, "Amy! Get down here and wash these dishes! It's your turn!" She called out again when there was no answer. "Hurry up, I need to help your sister Maya with her homework!"
"Aw, man," Amy called out. She closed her book and walked back downstairs. Her mom's voice still rang in the air.
Pablo decided to wait. While Amy washed dishes, and their mom was helping their younger sister Maya, Pablo would wait. Five minutes turned into ten. Ten minutes turned into twenty.
Just as he was about to give up, Pablo saw Amy return to her desk. This is it! he thought. As she sat down, Pablo flung the closet door open, screamed, "Got you . . . ooo," and plopped on the ground. He writhed around holding his legs. "They're asleep! They're asleep!" he said over and over.
Amy looked down at her brother and said sharply, "Pablo, please, I'm really busy and don't have time for this."
"You'll pay, Amy! This isn't ove . . . owww," he said as he limped off and out of her room.

Select the correct answer. read this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich: her attitude towards him and his diseases is still the same. just as the doctor had adopted a certain relation to his patient which he could not abandon, so had she formed one towards him—that he was not doing something he ought to do and was himself to blame, and that she reproached him lovingly for this—and she could not now change that attitude. "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 fancies 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. c. she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful—everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to. reset next
