6 0

The author uses emotionally charges phrases and words like, "consuming," or "your voice etched us out of the night."
Things that this carry us to the conclusion that this poem is about the deep and harrowing pain that the African people had to go through, and the author reflects heavily on that suffering in the beginning. Later, she writes of a force that sweeps through and brings new life and love to the people, talking about, "If only love could purchase bread, Africans would not be hungry." There is a deep emotional thing that connects us to the author and the people in her poem. It shows us suffering and how one can be happy with nothing even just for a day, as I interpreted in the end.

Explain the significance of Gregor’s focusing solely on how his inability to go to work will affect his family, rather than on t

Irina18 [472]

Kafka uses peculiar and round-about ways of saying things when talking about Gregor in order to convey the complications that Gregor's personality presents. Gregor is a man who is completely controlled by the expectations that society and his family have of him. He knows that he should work hard, be responsible, sacrifice everything for his family and be the breadwinner. These are the expectations that dominate his whole life. The reason why he is so overwhelmed by them is because these stem from his social context, and not from his personal goals or dreams.

Kafka choice of language in this passage reflects this feeling. Gregor is constantly doing what he ought to do, and not what he wants to do or what he believes in. Even when going through extremely frightening and confusing situations, he remembers that what he ought to do is remain calm. And he strives to satisfy this expectation, regardless of what his true feelings might be.
