The works of literature Metamorphous by Kafka and the Diary of a mad man by Lu Xun both explore topics of savagery and reality. The structures of these two readings were completely different as diary of a mad man was structured as a short story with daily journal entries.

His ear heard more than was said to him‚ and his slow speech had overtones not of thought‚ but of understanding beyond thought." (pg. 33) Past his optimal

A more quiet voice followed Crooks’‚ it was gravelly and gruff. I was sure that it belonged to ol’ Candy. Crooks’ home was extremely messy. His room consisted of a straw bed‚ on the opposite wall to the bed there was a square four-paned window. On the other wall‚ there was a narrow plank door. There was

My name (or the name given to me by the whites I worked with) is Crooks. I lived a fortunate life as a child when my father owned the ranch but as an adult I lived a tough life‚ a life of hardship‚ work and oppression.

This implies he was treated like an animal in the barn with the animals because he has to sleep in the box which is so uncomfortable. He doesn’t have the quality of life. Secondly‚ the use of the word ‘’STRAW’’
