Our next text will be The Death of Ivan Ilyich, by Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy was a great Russian writer and thinker of the nineteenth century, best known for the novel War and Peace (which Sonya has read!). This novella (short novel) begins on p. 155 of the book you can pick up at the school office, The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories. It is also available online in another translation. Here is ch. 1.
Read the novella for Monday, Dec. 14. As you do so, mark a sparkle for each chapter. If we are in person, you will share them then. If not, we will do something else. When (not if) you have questions, ask them by email at jstark@rtcsonline.org.
Note that the story begins at the end. The rest of the story is more or less in chronological order.
