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.

Psychology Major here! :) Hope this helps:

1) Up to date, there is still no definite answer when it comes the capacity of information a brain can withhold - it is truly unlimited.

2) The size of a brain varies between species and its capacity to retain information varies as well.

3) Humans have the most complex psychological process to understand, however, there are many other species who have incredible cognitive intelligence. (Such as dolphins, for example.)

4) When damage is done to a certain side of the brain and there is a need to remove the damaged area, there is a possibility that the undamaged parts of the brain can take over the same functions as the removed area. (Therefore, for example, the remaining part of your brain can still nearly function to a maximum capacity depending of the severity of damage... as well as area).

5) The brain named itself "brain".
(The brain controls you, but you control the brain.)

How can I improve my thesis
kykrilka [37]

Imagery is the use of figurative language to represent objects, actions and thoughts in a way that activates the physical senses of the reader (sight, smell, hearing, tactile and taste). It is what makes the reader involved in a story, by activating feelings he/she might know. It is what makes a story feel realistic.

Its function in literature is to create a graphic representation of a scene, with as much description as possible so the reader can paint a mental picture of what's going on.

So, that through the use of imagery meaning is created could mean that it is what gives a story depth and complexity, it is what makes a story similar to the real world.
