In at least two hundred words, explain why “The Garden of Forking Paths” can be seen as a “three-dimensional chess game.”

English

Borges's story The Garden of Forking Paths can be considered to be a three dimensional chess game for a variety of reasons.  First, like a game of chess, a nearly infinite number of possible outcomes are proposed through the story (just as how a chess game can allow for a variety of different outcomes).  Also, chess is a game of choice, just as the Garden of Forking Paths - both the story itself and the novel of the same titles mentioned in the story - allows for the reader to, in essence, choose their own design and strategy.  Furthermore, the lead character\protagonist in the story is manipulating events throughout the story to, in essence, score a "checkmate."

An unpleasant episode occurred between Gregor, his father, and the Samsa family's boarders. It centered on Gregor's sister, Gret
Alik [6]

Answer:

The unpleasant episode can be seen in the third chapter of the text where Grete was playing her violin and the boarders as well as her family were around, listening.

Explanation:

Franz Kafka's science fictional novella "Metamorphosis" tells the story of how the character Gregor Samsa's transformation into a bug had sent his life in turmoil. The bug became a menace to his family and even ruined their family's income source, leading them to finally move some place else.

The scene where Gregor had ruined his family's prospects was in Chapter III where he had been seen by the boarders. In order to maintain their family sustenance, they had given one of the rooms for boarding and it had been occupied by three gentlemen for sometime now. One day, while Grete was playing the violin, the music drew Gregor to it and he went nearer. But the boarders saw the disgusting creature and threatened to leave immediately. Not only that, they even told Gregor's father that due to the deplorable and odorous situation of the place, they will not be paying even for the previous days' stay.

This scene not only left them with no income but it was also the scene where the whole family decided it's time to get rid of Gregor, for he is a bug and not their son Gregor. This is the unpleasant episode that occurred between Gregor and his family and also the boarders, centered on the music played by Grete.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

b). Standard ruling

Context is characterized as the situational background or circumstances in which a specific event takes place that helps clarify the meaning of the event or occurrence. Similarly, the words that are placed in a text before or after an unfamiliar word help clarify its meaning to the readers.

In the given passage, the word 'principle' denotes the meaning 'standard ruling' as per the context. <u>The author conveys that he had been unable to find a standard rule regarding books on which everyone agrees</u>. He expresses that it had been different for different individuals as some are useful for some people while others for others. Thus, <u>option b</u> is the correct answer.
