Isolation is a major theme in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Which two excerpts best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after

his
transformation?
He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he could
not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation- •with everyone's
permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.
All of them were usually very quiet nowadays. Soon after dinner, his father would go to sleep in his chair; his mother and sister would urge each
other to be quiet; his mother, bent deeply under the lamp, would sew fancy underwear for a fashion shop; his sister, who had taken a sales job,
learned shorthand and French in the evenings so that she might be able to get a better position later on.
Gregor never responded to being spoken to in that way, but just remained where he was without moving as if the door had never even been
opened. If only they had told this charwoman to clean up his room every day instead of letting her disturb him for no reason whenever she felt
like it!
The woman most likely meant to fetch the things back out again when she had time and the opportunity, or to throw everything out in one 30,
but what actually happened was that they were left where they landed when they had first been thrown unless Gregor made his way through
the junk and moved it somewhere else.

Annotating Poetry

Annotating is the act of marking up a text to bring attention to words, phrases, and structure that may have some importance to the overall mood or theme of a poem.

Steps to Annotate a Poem

1. Initial reading of the poem. Write any questions that pop into your head while doing the initial reading.
2. Identify any words that you do not understand and look them up. Write the definitions on the poem.
3. Discover and mark rhyme scheme using a new letter for each end rhyme within the poem.
4. Count the amount of syllables in each line and mark the number at the end of the line.
5. Identify figurative language used within the poem. Think about the literal meaning of each figurative device.
6. Identify sound devices such as alliteration, assonance, and consonance. How does it impact the text?
7. Identify text that is repeated. Is there any reason the author would repeat the text?
8. Look closely at punctuation. Does it reveal anything about the speaker of the poem? (Example: Does it make them seem rambling, confident, nervous?)
9. Circle any words that are impactful or interesting. Determine connotative meaning. Are their any patterns? What does it reveal about the speaker’s attitude towards the topic?
10. Reread the poem. If you are still having a hard time understanding the poem, repeat the annotation process!


Questions you should be able to answer after annotating a poem:

1. What is the theme of the poem?
2. What kind of strategies does the author use to point out the theme?
3. What is the mood of the poem?
4. What kind of strategies does the author use to make the mood clear?
5. How does the figurative language impact the poem as a whole?
6. How does the punctuation/number of syllables/ rhyme scheme impact the poem as a whole?

Why do authors use red herrings
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

A red herring in literature is a narrative element that is used to throw off readers and lead them to false conclusions. ... An author provides one or more red herrings intentionally to divert attention away from the true object or person of interest, thereby making the conclusion to the book more of a surprise.
