Metamorphosis by Frank Kafka One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed i

nto a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-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. “What’s happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream. 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. There was a cautious knock at the door near his head. "Gregor," somebody called—it was his mother—“it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere?” Gregor was shocked when he heard his own voice answering, it could hardly be recognized as the voice he had had before. As if from deep inside him, there was a painful and uncontrollable squeaking mixed in with it, the words could be made out at first but then there was a sort of echo which made them unclear. Gregor had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything, but in the circumstances contented himself with saying: Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.“ Read these lines from the excerpt again: “Gregor,” somebody called—it was his mother—“it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere?” What does this line reveal about Gregor? Gregor loves his mother. Gregor has had a regular life. Gregor likes being a bug. Gregor does not want to leave.

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee
scoray [572]

In this poem, the author employs foreshadowing. Foreshadowing refers to a literary device in which a writer gives the reader a hint of what is to come next in the story. In this example, Poe talks about Annabel Lee, and he tells us the angels in heaven were jealous of the love the lovers felt for each other. He also tells us that Annabel Lee received a chilling wind. These hints suggest that Annabel Lee will die. The effect of this foreshadowing is that it allows suspense to be built in the mind of the reader, pulling him deeper into the story.
