Phileas Fogg, a London gentleman of meticulous and unchanging habits, hires as his valet Jean Passepartout, a Frenchman who has had a variety of jobs, including circus performer, but now seeks a tranquil life. After reading in The Daily Telegraph that a new railroad in India has made it theoretically possible to travel around the world in 80 days, Fogg bets his fellow members at the Reform Club that he will make that journey in 80 days or less; the wager is for the princely sum of £20,000 (half his fortune). Leaving that night, Fogg and a nonplussed Passepartout board a train bound for Dover and Calais to begin their journey.

Shortly before Fogg’s departure, someone resembling him had robbed a bank, and Fogg’s sudden exit leads Scotland Yard to believe that he was the bank robber. Accordingly, a detective, Mr. Fix, is sent to Suez, in British-ruled Egypt, to await the steamer Mongolia, on which Fogg and Passepartout are traveling. Fix befriends Passpartout, and, after learning that they will take the steamer to Bombay, he buys a ticket and joins them. The Mongolia reaches Bombay before the arrival of an arrest warrant, however. During the few hours before their planned departure for Calcutta on the Great India Peninsula Railway, Passepartout visits a Hindu temple on Malabar Hill, unaware that Christians are forbidden to enter and that shoes are not to be worn inside. He is beaten by enraged priests and barely makes it to the train station on time.

In lines 328–330, Gregor speculates about how his family and the chief clerk will react when they see him: “If they were shocked
wariber [46]

This question is about "Metamorphosis".

Answer:

1. Gregor is concerned about the job he has.

2. Gregor's family could be shocked that he became an insect, so it would no longer be a responsibility for him to have to work and he could rest.

Explanation:

Gregor transformed himself into a giant insect while he slept and when he woke up he was not concerned with this transformation, but was concerned with finding a solution that would allow him to go to work. That's because it was Gregor's obligation to support the family and that is why he worked hard. As Gregor didn't leave the room, his family didn't care about him, but he worried that his delay would cause him to lose his job, which made him feel like opening the door to the room and showing what had happened to him, so everyone would be shocked, accept that he would not work and then he could rest.

What are the first steps to take when organizing a literary analysis? Select three options.
Darya [45]

Answer:

b) think about and then interpret a quotation from literature.

d) offer supporting evidence for your viewpoint of the interpretation.

e) formulate your viewpoint on the interpretation of literature.

Explanation:

These are some of the steps that need to be taken when organizing a literary analysis. The first thing to do is to think about a quotation from literature. This would usually be a point that you find interesting or engaging in a particular text. After you think about the idea, you need to interpret the meaning of it. When offering your interpretation, it is important to offer supporting evidence that justifies why you hold a particular view. Finally, you need to compare your interpretation to the interpretation of literature and formulate your own viewpoint about the connection between the two.
