Quotation

"I'll get back to work;after all, that was my life"(Tolstoy 37).

Reaction

My reaction when reading this part at the begining of my second section made me think to myself for a minute. I belive that Ian should have been a less work addict, and taken time for himself and his wife.Ivan is one of those mans who may loose evberything ibn life by only focusiing on work, which is not a bad thing but it is not your life. He in fact knows his health issues and still manages to go to work and pay less attention to it. Health always comes before anything, and trust me ; I've been there. He should prioritize his time as much as he can since it is already known that he will die. Ivan I believe dies and is one of those mans who put their all into work but not into the other important things in life. Me, personally being in a position as ivan besides the whole death part learned that I need to prioritize. Before I use to do many things that I gave up, spending alot of time with friends, and figured out what's important in my life. I changed because i knew that the way I was makign desicions was not the best way and it will just hurt me more if i was to continue. * Tolstoy putting those words in Ivan's mouth made me imagine the type of characted he tried to build in Ivan.
