Part A

There are multiple themes in “Everything That Rises Must Converge”. What theme emerges from Julian’s behavior towards the Africa

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The Theme is confusing because julian does not know how to act when he see's his mom and another woman with the same hat.

Explanation:

Both Julian and his mother rely heavily on appearances to separate and elevate themselves from the rest of society. Julian’s mother, for example, hopes that her public demeanor and clothing will hide the fact that she no longer has any of her family’s former wealth. In turn, she judges others on their appearance, including blacks, whom she automatically considers inferior. She looks down on the African American man on the bus who wears a suit, even though he is better dressed than Julian, and still places herself above the large black woman on board, even though she realizes that they wear the same hideous hat. Ironically, Julian relies on appearances to quickly judge others around him too, even though he criticizes his mother for this same shortcoming.

Hope this helps!

Based on The Metamorphism, what has gregor become?

Naddik [55]

To try to analyze what kind of insect becomes Gregor it is necessary to highlight, in The Metamorphosis does not say that it is an insect, bug, beetle or cockroach.

The story is not clear in the species but specific in its associations: it is always a kind of small and multiple paw, of an expansive, insatiable and promiscuous nature, a being so repulsive that it produces chills just by being mentioned.

Kafka never explains it.

One of the broadest interpretations points to Gregorio Samsa becoming a cockroach. However, a closer analysis indicates that we are facing another type of creature.

Nabokov analyzed the clues given by Kafka to draw his conclusions about the shape and size of the insect. And he comes to determine that it looks like a cockroach in only one aspect: its color is brown.

For Nabokov, there are other evident proofs to think that it is actually a beetle: the "strong jaws" of Gregory, the "huge convex belly divided into segments" or his "hard round back" are some examples.

According to some sources, it seems indisputable that Kafka intentionally chooses the words so as not to make clear what kind of insect Gregorio Samsa is,

Nabokov stating book sentences: "Gregorio the beetle never realizes that it has wings under the hard covering of its back". That is to say, that the actor of the most anguished story in universal literature is really a creature that can fly and escape from the place without knowing it like so many of us.
