3 Walter Scott tells us, in his fragment of autobiography. Speaking of the strange remedies applied to his lameness, that he remembered lying in
the parlor of his grandfather's farmhouse on the floor, swathed up in a sheepskin warm from the body of the sheep, being then not three years old.
David Copperfield's memory goes beyond this. He represents himself seeing so far back into the blank of his infancy, as to discern therein his
mother and her servant, dwarfed to his sight by stooping down or kneeling on the floor, and himself going unsteadily from the one to the other. He
admits this may be fancy, though he believes the power of observation in numbers of very young children to be quite wonderful for its closeness and
accuracy, and thinks that the recollection of most of us can go farther back into such times than many of us suppose. But what he adds is certainly
not fancy. "If it should appear from anything I may set down in this narrative that I was a child of close observation, or that as a man I have a strong
memory of my childhood, I undoubtedly lay claim to both of these characteristics. 10Applicable as it might be to David Copperfield this was
unaffectedly true of Charles Dickens.

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life? "but if that is so," he said to himself, "and i am leaving this life with the consciousness that i have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then? " he lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. in the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. in them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. this consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. he groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. and he hated them on that account. he was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. he drove everybody away and tossed from side to side. his wife came to him and said: "jean, my dear, do this for me. it can't do any harm and often . healthy people often do it." he opened his eyes wide. "what? take communion? why? it's unnecessary! " she began to cry. "yes, do, my dear. i'll send for our priest. he is such a nice man." "all right. very well," he muttered. when the priest came and heard his confession, ivan ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. he again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. he received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.
