The nightmarish quality of “The Metamorphosis,” by Franz Kafka, is enhanced by the straight forward -almost academic- nature of the writing. One such example of this occurs on page 93, reading, ““What’s happened to me?” [Gregor] thought. It wasn’t a dream. His room, a proper human room, although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls.”(Kafka) From thereon, he abandons the description of his transformation to describe the room and previous night. As the audience reads this, they are thrown by the sudden shift of topic, still wondering what has happened. The fact that most works put an emphasis on the “why?” makes the reader expect an answer, developing their panic as it becomes less and less likely that there will…
Methuselah is, according to the Bible, the oldest human to ever walk the face of this planet. With a lifespan of 969 years, his family is also mentioned as inheriting his traits of longevity, with his descendants mostly living for 800 to 900 years. With his long life span, Methuselah is also used as a symbol of wisdom and although is portrayed as having lots of knowledge, never plays a very prominent role in the bible.…
In The Metamorphasis, Kafka’s treatment of Gregor’s transformation demonstrates how beyond human control the natural world is. The human turning back into nature demonstrates a relationship between man and the environment. Throughout the novel there is, however, much talk of the cure and of acceptance, yet nature goes on unrelated to all talk of ways to change the situation.…

The last paragraph of Kafka’s reading metamorphosis discreetly suggests that the family’s emotions aren’t as they read, but they will travel to the edge to find a successful prospect to lead for the future. The opening sentence reads “then the three of them altogether left the flat,” pg. 241 this section of the sentence has a deeper meaning than the Samsa’s just taking off from their home and going to the park as the sentence follows up . As I read this opening sentence the word “flat” stands out to me. Flat stands out in sentence because it is used in a very untraditional way that makes me believe it has another meaning besides the description of the flat land they are on. When defining the word flat I think of a smooth, even surface without any lumps or indentations. When defining flat in an emotional context, I would define it as a lacking of interest or emotion, perhaps dull and lifeless. The context of “flat” in this first sentence of the last paragraph I would say speaks to Gregory family’s emotions after him not being present. I envision an insect or a cockroach, I always see them crawling up a wall perhaps a flat surface. Which becomes ironic to this situation as Gregor is an insect and has struggle being mobile on the flat surface which they refer to as home. In this opening sentence flat may speak of the family's emotions not just a state of the land. This word…

The United States has been a gun culture country since the day the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776. After many decades, gun ownership had rapidly increased, and many lives have been saved with a gun. An American citizen can legally purchase a handgun at age twenty-one and a rifle at the age of eighteen with a cleared background check by a licensed dealer. In recent months’ guns has become a very conversional topic because of all the incident happening around. For example, Orlando mass shooting, where 49 people died, and Dallas sniper shooting where 5 police officer died. Compared to early days USA have powerful police forces protecting its citizen. All the firearms should be banned because guns have already caused many deaths.…
Colonialism, is a term used to describe the practice of domination, which involves the subjugation of one group of people to another. (Kohn 1) It involves the political and economic control over a dependent territory, and establishes a new territory or colony where the new settlers are in control and not the indigenous people. (Kohn 1) The concept of colonialism existed for thousands of years, however, it is most commonly associated with the formation of the European colonies in the Americas beginning in the early sixteenth century. In my opinion, the concept of colonialism shares similar qualities to a theory which was formed three hundred years after the colonization…
