What theme is portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? In reality it was just what is usually seen

in the houses of people of moderate means who want to appear rich, and therefore succeed only in resembling others like themselves: there are damasks, dark wood, plants, rugs, and dull and polished bronzes—all the things people of a certain class have in order to resemble other people of that class. His house was so like the others that it would never have been noticed, but to him it all seemed to be quite exceptional. He was very happy when he met his family at the station and brought them to the newly furnished house all lit up, where a footman in a white tie opened the door into the hall decorated with plants, and when they went on into the drawing-room and the study uttering exclamations of delight. He conducted them everywhere, drank in their praises eagerly, and beamed with pleasure.

What makes “Bernice Bobs Her Hair” a modernist story? Select all that apply.
Bond [7527]
"Breaking away from tradition" stands as a central motif in modernist literature. Hence, the correct choice is the second one -- it highlights the evolving values of that era.

In this instance, the evolving values pertain to women’s hairstyles. Historically, women wore their hair long. The sight of a woman with very short hair was unheard of. However, in the narrative, short hair is becoming a trend.

Do you agree with Hoover's statement that capitalism produces greed?If so,
Naddika [7460]

I concur with Hoover's assertion that capitalism engenders greed. This stems from capitalism emphasizing that businesses should primarily, if not solely, focus on profit maximization. There is insufficient attention given to how those profits are acquired or whether societal harm occurs in the process. The only solution is enforcing regulations that restrict the operational scope of businesses and corporations.

The text "The Roaring Twenties" by Mike Kubic illustrates this point by revealing how President Coolidge failed to implement policies that could have halted or mitigated the Great Depression. A personal anecdote reflects how companies often hesitate to increase wages for long-term employees. Lastly, literature provides an example in The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, where the author highlights factory abuses aimed at increasing profit margins.
