A sacrificial lamb is a metaphorical reference that derives from Abrahamic traditions. It describes a person (or animal) that is sacrificed for the common good of a community. In <em>The Metamorphosis</em>, Gregor Samsa takes the place of a sacrificial lamb, both in his human form and his bug form.

Gregor's human life is completely dominated by the responsibilities he has towards his family. He is the breadwinner, and everything he earns he gives to them. He does not complain, as he has accepted that his life is meant to be sacrificed for the well-being of the family. Later on, when Samsa turns into a bug, he goes from being the breadwinner, to being a burden on them. Therefore, when he dies, the family is relieved the burden is gone. Once again (although more literally this time), his life is sacrificed so that the others members of the family can live theirs well.

What’s power numbers
RUDIKE [14]
The power (or exponent) of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number.

In this example the little "2" says to use 8 two times in a multiplication:

82 = 8 × 8 = 64


But power can also mean the result of using an exponent, so in the previous example "64" is also called the power.

Another example: 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16
• the power is 4: "2 to the power 4 is 16"
• or we can say the power is the result of 16: "the 4th power of 2 is 16"
