<span>A.
</span>The teacher.
If you are not told otherwise in the writing prompt or
directions for any academic writing you are doing, it is always safe to assume
your audience is your teacher. As such,
writing should always be as formal/professional as possible with the
understanding, too, that your audience should never be considered “all knowing”
because this tends to lead to vague writing in need of elaboration. However, when in doubt, please keep in mind
that if there is ever any question with regard to who your audience should be,
always ask your teacher/professor.
Answer:
OD To make Gregor seem less connected to his parents.
Explanation:
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" revolves around the transformation of Gregor Samsa into an insect, making him alienated and reclusive of his own family. Moreover, the story delves into the aloofness, alienation, change, and the importance of family relations in an individual's life.
As given in the question, the two translations of the same text make a different aspect of the story and its characters. While Joachim Neugroschel's translation addressed the parents using the article "the", David Wyllie's translation used the possessive pronoun "his" to refer to Gregor's parents. This difference in referring to the parents is that while <u>Wyllie's version shows a close bond between the parents-son, Neugroschel presents a rather disconnected relationship between Gregor and his parents</u>. He seems to address or mention the parents in such a way that they feel no connection to their son, who has changed.
This use of "the" for the parents instead of "his" seems to show the weak or rather strained connection between Gregor and his parents. Thus, the <u>correct answer is option D</u>.
Answer:
A. cheeks like peppermint candy, eyes like bright blue agate marbles."
B. These similes are ironic because they create images of old-fashioned childhood innocence
Explanation:
We can define simile as a word use to compare two things using as and like. When Wendy and Peter arrive at home from the carnival they'd been visiting, the narrator says that they were "coming in the front door, cheeks like peppermint candy, eyes
Irony is the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning
In this story, the similes used to describe Peter and Wendy make them seem incredibly innocent and childlike. They don't even want dinner because they are full of strawberry ice cream and hot dogs: more signs of their innocence which they are not.
