To make a distance-time graph, put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis. Time is the independent variable, and distance is the dependent variable because its value changes based on what the time is.
For example, this is the graph of a person going for a walk. From 0 min to 10 min they are walking slowly, then from 10 min to 15 min they stop and take a break. From 15 min to 20 min they walk more quickly, then stop again at 20 min. The steeper the slope, the more quickly it is moving, and if the slope is 0 (horizontal line), it is not moving.

Match the events from Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis to the themes they reflect.

san4es73 [151]

Explanation:

In this Kafka's masterpiece, Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning only to realize he had turned into a huge insect out of the blue.

a) Grete’s insistence near the end of the story that it would be best for her family to get rid of Gregor, and her claim that “it” was not her brother anymore depicts BETRAYAL.

Here, Gregor's younger sister denounces her brother making a change-of-hearts compared to the first half of the novel.

b) Mr. Samsa’s physical abuse of Gregor with the apple, which severely injures him and limits his ability to move is PERSECUTION.

Mr. Samsa attacks his own son frightened and terrified by the sight of the huge bug.

c) Gregor’s enjoyment at being able to crawl around his room all

day without having to deal with any family or work-related responsibility is FREEDOM.

After feelings of shock and grief, Gregor comes to realise that in this awkward situation he is free from all responsibilities he had as human.

d) Gregor’s inability to communicate with others after his transformation into an insect is ISOLATION.

Turning to an insect has cost Gregor, anong other things, his ability to speak. That way he can not communicate with his family members and is unable to explain this strange situation. That leaves him alone in his room isolated with his thoughts.
