Read the following passage and answer the question that follows: from Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (1) One morning, when Gregor

Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his 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. Which of the following is the best summary of paragraph 2? Gregor tries to go back to sleep, but the weather keeps him up. Gregor wants to forget his trouble, but his body will not allow him. Gregor knows by the reality surrounding him that he has become a b

What is the relationship between freedom and responsibility ?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
I would say that responsibility is an unwritten aspect of freedom because whether or not you want this to occur, freedom brings with it responsibility. Part of having freedom means being able to make your own decisions, which requires that one have responsibility in order to make smart choices.

Explain how sport personalities are potrayed by the media and how the potrayal influence people?
cluponka [151]
Well, sport personalities are usually admired by a lot of people for their fame and talent and money. However, some people on the media may make up things or spread rumors about them, especially if they don't like a certain team they are playing on. This influences people because they sometimes want to achieve their goals or are inspired by something they do. However, how someone influences a person is entirely based upon that person.

Mary Rowlandson's autobiographical work, A Narrative of the Captivity, describes her experiences as a prisoner of the Native Ame
Lelu [443]

The best insight to life during the late 1600s, especially in the Colonies, is the uncertainty of life, how at the time nobody could take anything for granted.

Rowlandson learns from the attack that no one is guaranteed life, no life is above the mishaps of existence (which were even more plentiful at that time) and life can be short and brutal.

Nonetheless, another aspect of the story that offers a powerful insight into life at that time is her unwavering faith in God's will. Throughout the whole experience, Rowlandson keeps her faith and perceives everything that happens into a blessing or a doing of God.
