What was kafka’s relationship with his father like?

English
1 answer:
lyudmila [28]3 years ago
6 0
<span>Just to add food for thought - the relationship between father and son in the book is meant to be reflective of Kafka's relathionship with his real father. Kafka had stated at one point that he felt like an insect in his father's presence.  His father was large and imposing in appearance while Kafka was small and weak.
</span><span>The relationship between the father and the son is strange. It is certainly strained, but it is also complex. The son's metamorphosis begins while works in a job that he hates in order to pay down his family's debt. His father loves him, but his love seems difficult to find: although tears eventually come, his initial response to his son's transformation is not sadness, but anger (he shakes his fist). The twisted part about their relationship is that the son essentially gets sick while carrying his father's burden (debt) but the father, instead of being sympathetic, essentially rejects and attacks the son for becoming the "vermin" that he has become. He hurts his son, physically, and scars him (he throws apples at him which injure his son and eventually cause an infection). This is deeply ironic, because the change in the son seems to occur as a result of the work that he does on his father's behalf. The father should be showering him with love, but instead hates the despicable creature he has become and wants nothing to do with him.  </span>

PLEASE HELP, DUE TODAYA! After reading "The Outsiders" in its entirety, what do readers learn about the exposition and resolutio
KIM [24]

Answer:

The exposition of "The Outsiders" reveals the main character of the story, Ponyboy and his friend group 'Greasers' and his rival group 'Socs.'

In resolution, the readers come to know about the reality of the story. Ponyboy was writing his English assignment that his teacher gave.

The similarities between exposition and resolution is that the characters and setting are same as in the beginning and ending of the story.

Explanation:

The exposition of a story is the introduction in which the characters and settings are introduced.

In the exposition of the novel "The Outsiders" the characters and the setting is introduced. The narrator of the story is a boy named Ponyboy. In the exposition, readers are introduced to Ponyboy and his group of friends, and they call themselves 'Greasers.' The rival group of Greasers were also introduced, that is, 'Socs.'

The resolution is the ending of the story in which all conflicts are resolved.

In the resolution of the novel, not only the conflicts are resolved but the readers come to the light that the whole novel was nothing but Ponyboy's English assignment that his teacher gave him. In the resolution, when Ponyboy writes "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the moviehouse" the readers can also imagine themselves coming out into the bright sunlight from the imagination of Ponyboy.

The similarities that both the exposition and the resolution shares is that the setting and the characters are same. In exposition the story began with Ponyboy waiting outside the moviehouse and in resolution also we see him in the same setting.

Read the excerpts from historical documents. From the Declaration of Independence: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Both excerpts present examples of legal oppression.

Explanation:

The excerpts presented in the question above are two examples of legal oppression, where someone or something possessing political power harmed a person or a group of people civilly, injuring the rights of citizens and causing civil and political damage through excess of authority. It is possible to reach this conclusion because in the first text, we can see that someone suspended all the laws adopted by a community, so that it could govern according to its own will. In the second text, we can see that a woman's property rights were taken away from her, because it did not seem profitable to someone with political power.
