Answer:
Grete’s insistence near the end of the story that it would be best for her family to get rid of Gregor, and her claim that “it” was not her brother anymore - the theme of<u> betrayal</u>
Mr. Samsa’s physical abuse of Gregor with the apple, which severely injures him and limits his ability to move - the theme of <u>persecution</u>
Gregor’s enjoyment at being able to crawl around his room all day without having to deal with any family or work-related responsibility - the theme of<u> freedom</u>
Gregor’s inability to communicate with others after his transformation into an insect - the theme of <u>isolation</u>
Explanation:
<em>The Metamorphosis </em>is a novel written by Franz Kafka and published in 1915. The novel tells a rather unusual story of Gregor, a salesman who is suddenly transformed into a huge insect. Throughout the novel, Gregor and his family try to adapt to this new situation. Although the circumstances in the story are different from the real life, the themes explored in this piece are familiar to all of us. Gregor is initially happy that he is able to crawl all day and is free from all the responsibilities of a mundane life. However, he cannot communicate with those around him, which makes him rather lonely and isolated. At the end of the story, Gregor's sister wants to get rid of him and abandons him, which is an act of betrayal that only worsens the whole situation.
Answer:
When writers or speakers use appeal to authority, they are claiming that something must be true because it is believed by someone who said to be an "authority" on the subject. Whether the person is actually an authority or not, the logic is unsound. Instead of presenting actual evidence, the argument just relies on the credibility of the "authority."
Examples of Appeal to Authority:
1. A commercial claims that a specific brand of cereal is the best way to start the day because athlete Michael Jordan says that it is what he eats every day for breakfast.
2. A book argues that global warming is not actually happening, and cites the research of one environmental scientist who has been studying climate change for several years.
3. Someone argues that drinking is morally wrong and cites a sermon from her pastor at church.
4. A little boy says that his friends should not go swimming in a river because his Mama said there were germs in the river.
5. A commercial claims that 3 out of 4 dentists would choose this particular brand of toothpaste for their own families to use.
6. My sister-in-law, who is a teacher, said that this school is not somewhere that I would want to send my children.
The answer is D, B would be correct also but I don’t agree with it making the narrator seem lonely
