As I stated in one of the discussion forums‚ Gregor might have always been an insect‚ and this occurred long before he was introduced to the reader. Is it absurdity or irony that Gregor is not showing any concern about his so-called transformation? In fact‚ everyone else within the story seems to change.

golden cap‚ the Tin Man receives a new ax made of gold and silver and new oil. The pretext of Oz‚ to describe the Great Wizard of Oz‚ is a pun for ounces of gold and silver. Green‚ in compilation with gold is repeated in the story‚ sprinkled with the irony that paper money is green. The Greenback Party‚ a forerunner of the Populist movement‚ urged the expansion of the money and circulation of “greenback” money. At the end of the story‚ the Scarecrow succeeds the Wizard as the ruler of Emerald City

In response to the “Lesson in Irony” presented by the author I would have to disagree with his or her opinion. I do not think the author correctly reflects poverty in America. The author is implying that the government program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is promoting dependence on their program for people in poverty who are unable to provide meals for the families. To me it comes across that the author is using sarcasm to get their point across rather than looking at the realities of

is quite similar to the idea of a house. With only the knowledge of facts and formulas‚ and no connections in between them‚ they are quite useless. This metaphor applies to other areas of knowledge‚ such as the arts‚ as well. A painting is built of strokes; a song is built of notes‚ but without the “cement” to connect the strokes and notes‚ art cease to exist.
