She means that being a black southerner sucked, but it sucked even worse in the hot summer afternoons, which were hot and humid and uncomfortable and by which time everybody had been working hard all day, than in the mornings, when it was more comfortable and people had just gotten out of bed and weren't completely awake and aware of their lousy situation in life.
She initially admits that she doesn't feel much toward Thanksgiving, but then progresses to reflecting on the unique memories from her childhood that stick out; she realizes that her perception of tradition was surrounded by a desire to explore and see more variation in the world, experience the new. As she grows older she sees the blatant consumerism and the beauty of 'togetherness' marred by expectations of spending lots of money. As she spends more time with friends and others, they begin to see differently how Thanksgiving can be viewed from multiple perspectives; as she then marries to a husband with a larger family, more diverse, she sees the dichotomy of willing to be in a group of people but also alone. Through reflection she realizes that she actually yearns for the solitude that her childhood Thanksgiving's brought her, and the quiet time with family.
I had the same question and got all the points on my response here: The story, “Another Evening at the Club” is about Samia and a wealthy man that she’s married to. The significance in the title of the story is that when you add “just” to the title it makes the two times that they were in the club, seem unimportant. The two times that Samia and her husband went to the club were important parts of the story. The first time Samia had went she lost her emerald ring, and then blamed her servant. The husband was angry with the servant, smacked her, and had her taken to the police station for questioning. The next day the husband had gone to the club while Samia was at home, and that’s when she found the ring again. Both of these shows that it was another evening at the club, almost like saying this happened, then another day happened. The difference in language and how you word things is important because it can change the whole meaning.
I hope this helps because I literally just retyped all of it lol
Answer:
a.Magical realism
Explanation:
The metamorphosis is a novel that involves different themes as the absurdity of life, alienation, and satire or dark humor. We can put the novel in a very specific movement called "<em>Modernism</em>" in the late 19th and early 20th century. In this literary movement we can find this piece of literature in the "<em>absurdist fiction"</em>, when we talk about "<em>absurdist fiction</em>" we find the main problem that Kafka uses in the metamorphosis: the study of human behavior under certain circumstances that are purposeless or absurd as we see the character of Gregor Samsa fighting with himself as he became an insect. This "<em>absurdism</em>" is a type of fiction and we can include this story in the gender of Magical realism because it's the closest one with the absurdist fiction. Because of this, it is not in <u>nonfiction</u> and not in <u>science fiction</u> because it is considered a novel it is not <u>epic poetry</u>. Finally, <u>magical realism</u> it's a very new concept in literature and it's more associated with Latin American literature, for this reason, but we can put Kafka's work in this genre.
