Answer:

Initially, the obstacles Gregor faces are largely physical. Your answer could include the following points:

Not used to his insect body, Gregor has a tough time trying to get up from his bed. He tries to go back to sleep and forget what has happened to him, but he can only rock from side to side because of the shape of his back.  

He now has wiggly legs turned up toward the ceiling, which he can’t control.

He feels an itch on his stomach and reaches out with one of his legs to scratch the area, but his own belly, now full of white spots, repulses him.

When his mother asks him to open the door, he only manages to twist and rock his body.

When he tries to answer his mother, he realizes his voice has changed. Instead of talking, he can only squeak. Although he thinks he is speaking normally, others are unable to hear him.  

He manages to turn sideways and dangle off his bed, but he hurts his back in the process.

When the chief clerk from Gregor’s office comes to ask why he’s late for work, everyone urges Gregor to open the door of his room. He manages to turn the lock with his mouth after a lot of difficulty.

He notices that his legs now ooze a sticky liquid.

Still not used to his new body, Gregor hurts himself while trying to scurry inside his bedroom and gets stuck in the doorway.

Explanation:

The Metamorphosis is a novella written by Franz Kafka. It is a story about salesman Gregor Samsa who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a huge insect, during the novella he tries to adjust to this new condition.

<u>After turning into a bug, Gregor Samsa faced a lot of obstacles:</u>

He couldn't get up from his bed as he wasn't used to his new body. All he could do is to rock from side to side. He could not control his legs. He could not open the door when his mother asked him to. He could not talk; he is a bug now, he could only squeak, but he didn't realize it at first. When he fell off the bed, he hurt his back. And finally, when he wanted to leave the room, he stuck in the doorway.

I hope it helped you :)

After reading the text, what do you think caused the Salem Witch Trials? Does any one reason stand out to you or do you think it
Scilla [17]

Answer:

It was when they started the point of telling stories of the witches and what they did with the people it just started to spook them out and they feared that maybe they were honestly true. And I think at that time it really wasn't the best time to stand out and/or say/do something out of their league because they would think you were a witch.
