Answer:

- he takes his managers words less seriously -more independent and was able to take care of his family

Explanation:

In the first chapter, Gregor is most concerned about keeping his job and defending himself against the accusations of his manager. Although he is surprised and offended by the harsh words of the manager, which do not reflect well on Gregor's work performance, He realized that he must not, on any account, let the manager go in this mood if his position in the firm was not to be put at risk in the extreme. The manager must be arrested, calmed down, convinced, and finally won; the future of Gregor and his family depended on him. His identity seems so bound up with his job, as if he had no value or value without his ability to make money for his family, but Gregor clearly cares deeply about his family and their well-being. He knows that they depend on him, and he wants to make them secure. These relation ships form a major part of his identity.

Answer:

Plato Answer

Explanation:

Your answer might include some of these points:

Although Gregor Samsa has physically changed into an insect, he retains some of his human feelings, such as love, compassion, and responsibility.

No longer the breadwinner of the family, he now must depend on others to feed him.

His desire to see his mother and the expectation of receiving his sister’s kindness stays alive, even though he hides from his family.

He notices that his sister finds his presence disturbing, and so he stays under a sheet whenever she enters his room.

Although he prefers eating stale food now, he appreciates the fact that his sister takes the trouble to bring food to him.

As a giant insect, Gregor prefers to stay under the couch and crawl around his room.

When his sister wants to vacate his room, to give him more space to move around, he feels dejected. The furniture and the painting in his room are the only reminders that he was once human. He feels torn between his physical and emotional needs. His human feelings take control when he tries to stop his mother and sister from taking the framed photograph off the wall.

What do the details in this excerpt help readers to infer about the barbarians? They are just as mean and monstrous as the fishe
taurus [48]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question. The strangers leaped out of their boats and pulled them up on the small beach. By signs, they made it clear the castaways should climb aboard. The fishermen exchanged frightened glances and whispered to one another, "What about Denzo and Jusuke?" Gesturing, Manjiro communicated to the strangers about the two men in the cave. Denzo and Jusuke were retrieved, both of them so weak they had to be carried to the boats. Everyone found a place and the sailors shoved off. The two boats rowed away from the island toward an unknown future. The sun flickered on the restless waves just as it always did. The wind blew just as steadily as it always had. Yet everything had changed. They had been rescued from the island, only to be taken captive by barbarians. Manjiro stared at the strangers when he thought they weren’t looking. Sometimes he caught them staring at him when they thought he wasn’t looking.

What do the details in this excerpt help readers to infer about the barbarians?

A)They are just as mean and monstrous as the fishermen expect them to be.

b) They are suspicious creatures who seem to be from a place other than Earth.

c) They have a plan to humiliate the fishermen and are waiting for the right time.

d) They are just as curious about the fishermen as the fishermen are about them.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) They are just as curious about the fishermen as the fishermen are about them.

Explanation:

By reading this extract we can see how the fishermen were caught by the barbarians. We cannot say for sure that they were evil creatures who wanted to harm fishermen as there is no evidence of this in this text.

But what we can say is that both the fishermen and the barbarians were curious about each other. We can deduce this by the following line:

<em>"Manjiro stared at the strangers when I thought they weren't looking. Sometimes I caught them staring at him when they thought I wasn't looking." </em>

This exchange of glances shows us that they were both curious.
