In Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, Gregor enjoys human pleasures and sensations, even though he's transformed into an insect. W

hich of these excerpts from the story best supports that idea? Who, in this tired and overworked family, would have had time to give more attention to Gregor than was absolutely necessary? The household budget became even smaller; so now the maid was dismissed; an enormous, thick-boned charwoman with white hair that flapped around her head came every morning and evening to do the heaviest work; everything else was looked after by Gregor's mother on top of the large amount of sewing work she did. Gregor even learned, listening to the evening conversation about what price they had hoped for, that several items of jewellery belonging to the family had been sold, even though both mother and sister had been very fond of wearing them at functions and celebrations. . . . Gregor's sister no longer thought about how she could please him but would hurriedly push some food or other into his room with her foot before she rushed out to work in the morning and at midday, and in the evening she would sweep it away again with the broom, indifferent as to whether it had been eaten or—more often than not—had been left totally untouched. She still cleared up the room in the evening, but now she could not have been any quicker about it. Smears of dirt were left on the walls, here and there were little balls of dust and filth. At first, Gregor went into one of the worst of these places when his sister arrived as a reproach to her, but he could have stayed there for weeks without his sister doing anything about it; she could see the dirt as well as he could but she had simply decided to leave him to it. . . . Yet Gregor's sister was playing so beautifully. Her face was leant to one side, following the lines of music with a careful and melancholy expression. Gregor crawled a little further forward, keeping his head close to the ground so that he could meet her eyes if the chance came. Was he an animal if music could captivate him so? It seemed to him that he was being shown the way to the unknown nourishment he had been yearning for. He was determined to make his way forward to his sister and tug at her skirt to show her she might come into his room with her violin, as no-one appreciated her playing here as much as he would. . . . No-one was making him rush any more, everything was left up to him. As soon as he had finally finished turning round he began to move straight ahead. He was amazed at the great distance that separated him from his room, and could not understand how he had covered that distance in his weak state a little while before and almost without noticing it. He concentrated on crawling as fast as he could and hardly noticed that there was not a word, not any cry, from his family to distract him. He did not turn his head until he had reached the doorway.

Why does Jem have to forget “something”? How is “storing it away” part of growing up?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Jem wants to forget how ugly people can be, something he witnessed during the trial. He tells Scout that he doesn't ever want to hear about the courthouse again. The trial was a very difficult and scarring experience for him and he is having a terrible time handling the reality of what he learned from it. Atticus tells Scout that Jem is trying to forget something but he was really storing it away until enough time passed. What is meant is that he is trying to forget about it until he is old enough to process it properly.</span>

Why is it important to have a written strategy for our<br> passions, goals, and dreams?
____ [38]

Answer:

Goals help us become better versions of ourselves. Writing down your goals means that you can visually see them. This is an important point because when we see something, it affects how we act. You're more likely to be productive if you can see what you have to do, instead of just thinking about it.The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.Written down goals are more powerful than goals you keep in your mind. Writing down your goals forces you to get clear on what you want to accomplish. Writing your goals down provides motivation and helps you to focus on activities that are important each day, rather than reacting.
