from Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in h

is bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. (2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table –Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. (3)Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. What is surprising about Gregor's reaction to his transformation? He likes it. He does not like it. He tries to change it. He tries to sleep it off.

The answer is: he tries to sleep it off.

As these opening lines from Kafka´s novella, <em>Metamorphosis</em>, show, the transformation of Gregor Samsa into some sort of vermin is not a dream and in fact it´s a quite literally real experience. However, Samsa is uncomfortable but not quite panicking, and, given the situation, it is quite surprising that his reaction is merely to try to sleep it off, but, alas, he can´t even manage to do this since his new bodily form is too uncomfortable to sleep on his side, like he used to do.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Three strategies to "eradicate your crutch phrase" are:

1) Record your most recent presentation or speech to become aware of your crutch phrase(s).

2) Work with yourself and others to eradicate your tic.

3) Enforce silence by embracing your pauses.

Explanation:

The last strategy is enough preparation before any presentation.  Perfect practice, they say, makes perfect.  As Lisa Braithwaite, the Speak Schmeak coach, puts it, "eradicate your crutch phrase" in order to resonate as a professional and thrill your audience at every speaking opportunity.

Crutch phrases are those often repeated filler words and expressions that unintentionally enter our speeches to hinder them from being fluent.  Most times, because the audience is focused on the speaker, they tend to be distracted by the number of such crutch phrases that are repeated by the speaker in a given presentation.

Reflect on the strange care of Dr Jekyll and me Hyde in rice to six sentences explain how Dr Jekyll develops
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

in the beginning of the story, Dr. Jekyll is confident, social, and healthy, but over time, he progressively becomes more ill and weak and secludes himself from everyone. We learn from Dr. Jekyll’s confession that his decline is due to his loss of control over his evil side, Mr. Hyde. Because the potion no longer has the effect it once had, Mr. Hyde becomes stronger, while Dr. Jekyll becomes weaker. As Dr. Jekyll silently struggles with his situation, he deteriorates mentally and physically. As a result, Dr. Jekyll doubts the choices he made.
