Problems do not enter into the novels of Hamsun in the same manner as they did Into the plays of Ibsen. Hamsun would seem to take life
as it is not with any pretense at its complete acceptability, but without hope or avowed intention of making it over. If his tolerance be never free
from satire, his satire is on the other hand always easily tolerant. One might almost suspect him of viewing life as something static against which all
fight would be futile. Even life's worst brutalities are related with an offhandedness of manner that makes you look for the joke that must be at the
bottom of them. The word reform would seem to be strangely eliminated from his dictionary, or, if present, it might be found defined as a
humorous conception of something intrinsically unachlevable.
(from Edwin Björkman's introduction to Pan, by Knut Hamsun)
Based on the distinction drawn between Hamsun and Ibsen, which inference seems most reasonable?
1. Ibsen's work references an ideal, utopian world.
2. Ibsen is a writer concerned with how problems can be fixed or mitigated.
03. Ibsen's work avolds issues and problems and focuses on eternal themes, like love and herolsm.
4. Ibsen is a writer obsessed with the horror and tragedy of human existence.
Answer:
Based on the distinction drawn between Hamsun and Ibsen, the inference that seems most reasonable is:
2. Ibsen is a writer concerned with how problems can be fixed or mitigated.
Explanation:
The work of Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen focused on social issues considered taboo during the 19th century, such as sexually-transmitted diseases and sexism. It is not that Ibsen was fascinated with horror or tragedy. Rather, he was brave and bold enough to approach such themes and even present a controversial way of dealing with them. In the play "A Doll's House", for instance, Nora ends up leaving her abusive husband.
Having that in mind and taking the passage into consideration, we can see that Ibsen is a writer concerned with how problems can be fixed or mitigated. While Hamsun seems to view social problems as tolerable and humorous, as something not worth fighting against, Ibsen sees them as central, important, and changeable.

Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives.

On one condition, you must behave well for the whole entire year to get something. That's right, no crying, no fussing, you cannot do anything bad. This might be challenging for some, but for others it can be pretty easy. I mean think about it, there isn't anything bad you can do. It's pretty easy to be good. Santa only comes at night. He makes sure your sleeping or else you won't get any presents. Make sure you leave him cookies, a snack for his reindeers (they love carrots), and leave Santa some milk he will enjoy it with his cookies! All of this stuff happens on December 24th. Some open there presents on the 25th but I celebrate it right at midnight.

Answer:
A long time ago, an old man named Nicolas sat on his couch reading the newspaper. In the newspaper, he saw an advertisement for handing out toys to children. He took the job because he needed the money, $5 an hour, and soon learned that he loved giving out toys. Luckily for him, he had a friend in the flying reindeer business, who gave him a really good price for 20, even though Nicolas only wanted eight or nine. Then one night, when all was quiet, Nicolas set out on his sleigh and magic reindeer to give toy to little kids. He got the name "Santa" from "saint" because all the little kids loved him and parents would call him a saint. He got the name "Claus" from "cookies" because of the fresh cookies kids left him on Christmas night.

*The captain stood with folded arms, silent, observing the work of
his subordinates, but making no sign. Death is a dignitary who
when he comes announced is to be received with formal
