"'Now I must apply for my brother-inlaw’s transfer from Kaluga,' thought Peter Ivanovich. 'My wife will be very glad, and then she won’t be able to say that I never do anything for her relations.'

'I thought he would never leave his bed again,' said Peter Ivanovich aloud. 'It’s very sad.'"

So, he considers the benefits he could get from Ivan's death, while pretending to mourn him.

different strategies reach different people based on their ability to understand the material. (from personal experience) when writing an argumentative essay write explaining the subject as though your audience never heard of it before and it is just being introduced, then explain why other people hate it also, afterward you would explain why that would be wrong. i hope that : )
