Why does kafka choose a cockroach rather than any other insect or animal

krek1111 [17]

the use of an insect is particularly significant because of all the things in this world, the insect is often seen as bothersome, disgusting, and easily squashed. While some people may see value in insects (for pollination, for example), most find them easy to ignore or horrific.

Use your knowledge of plot, theme, and character development to write a brief summary of “Stray.”

Phantasy [73]

In the story, "Stray" Doris finds a cold, shivering puppy that wandered onto the property of Mr. Lacey and his wife, Mamie. They had a daughter named Doris. Icicles hung three feet or more from the overhang of houses, snowdrifts gobbled up autos, and the feathered creatures were so cushioned up they looked comic. They didn't know where it came from, but they did know where it was going. Mr. Lacey wanted to take it out to the pound in the city right away but, the roads were too bad to travel, for many days. However, Doris thought that it was a good dog. Four days passed, and the puppy still didn't complain. Doris knew her parents wouldn't let her keep the puppy because her father was earning so little money. She knew that the puppy was surely going to go to the pound when the weather got better. She did talk to her parents about the dog at dinner once, but they didn't say anything as if they were ignoring her. Doris said, "She's not much trouble" and "I like her" but, Mrs. Lacey just shook her head. Eventually, the time came to bring the puppy to the pound. It was on Saturday when the dog had to leave Doris. She begged to her mom, then her dad, to let her keep the dog. Her mom just told her, "You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this." She was so tragic, everything she could do was cry herself to bed and dream about seeking for something she lost. It was nearly night when she woke up, hungry, but didn't want to face her parents or go through the basement door. When she went down to the kitchen, her parents were almost done with dinner drinking coffee. She made herself a glass of powdered milk and drank it all down. Then, as soon as she started to head out the door, Mr. Lacey asked her if she was going to feed the mutt. Doris was confused and surprised at the same time. She asked Mr. Lacey what he was talking about, and Mr. Lacey told her that the pound was the worst looking place he's ever seen. He couldn't leave an animal there. Not even an ant. Therefore, he brought it back home.

1) What is wrong with the following rule of English syntactic structure?

Mkey [24]

1) What is wrong with the following rule of English syntactic structure?

Answer: The correct version of this rule is: "A prepositional phrase is formed with a preposition followed by a noun/noun phrase/pronoun."

Explanation:

Prepositional phrase normally consists of a preposition which is followed either by a noun, pronoun or a noun phrase. If we state in the definition that a preposition is followed by a noun only, it will not encompass all of the cases and will lead to certain ungrammatical structures, such as "with girl". In this particular case, we need to add an article before the noun, and thus create a noun phrase "a girl."

2) Do phrase structure rules represent deep structure or surface structure?

Answer: Deep structure.

Explanation:

The two terms, deep structure and surface structure, were proposed by Noam Chomsky, a linguist and a cognitive scientist. Chomsky argued that deep structures are generated by phrase-structure rules, while surface structures are constructed from deep structures when they undergo certain transformations. As he defined it, deep structure represents concepts, thoughts and ideas, while the language that we use to describe the deep structure is called surface structure. Deep structure is a necessary condition for the application of transformation rules.

3) Which of the following expressions are structurally ambiguous and in what way?

Answer:

(a) The meaning of this sentence can be interpreted as "for small boys and (all) girls" or "for small boys and (small) girls."

b) "The parents of the bride and (the) groom" - as if only the bride's parents were present

"The parents of the bride and (the parents of the) groom"

d) The history teacher could be from England, or the teacher could teach English history

e) "Flying planes" can be interpreted as planes that are flying, or one's occupation

f) The students either complained to everyone whom they could not understand, or they told everyone about their problem that they could not understand.

Explanation:

Let us first define what structural ambiguity is. Structural (also known as syntactic) ambiguity is a situation in which there are multiple possible interpretations of a single piece of language (it can be a phrase, sentence, clause, etc.). The ambiguity occurs due to the way in which words and phrases are organized. In this case, all sentences except sentence c) are structurally ambiguous.

Lexical ambiguity, on the other hand, is when a single word can be interpreted in different ways. This is seen in sentence c), where we have different meanings for "legs" and "foot."
