Franz Kafka starts his story, The Metamorphosis, by transforming his main character into a vermin, one of the most disgusting and loathsome insects. With Gregor’s transformation, Kafka is exposing a metaphorical view of how life can be shown in a tangible, physical way. Gregor’s metamorphosis consists in his insides coming out. His new state of being reflects his life and his inner thoughts. A cockroach is a tangible representation of how he feels about his life and the relationship with his family
agree with what they were doing. In this quote, the family is in the house while Gregor is locked up. This relates to the family's free will and Gregor's determined will. The family is allowed to do as they please while Gregor is limited to being a dung beetle in his room. A word that stood out was the word followed. This seems to be the first time the family, eddies Gregor, is getting along and not arguing. It surprises me that they are enjoying themselves when Gregor is
A black, billowing cloud of smoke unfurls itself across the sky: the Industrial Revolution has begun. Peasants begin to migrate to the cities so they can cough up soot in dark, overcrowded workhouses. Labourers risk their life so that they may live so that they can buy food and water. Now, one must pay just to be alive. And thus, capitalism is born. Franz Kafka uses Gregor’s alienation in The Metamorphosis to highlight and condemn the values of a capitalist society—one in which one who cannot contribute

“Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own” (Jonathan Swift). From literary works to social media; irony and sarcasm are particularly common but rarely recognized, mentioned devices don’t only criticize others but expose their stupidities as well. In Midaq Alley, Naguib Mahfouz uses satire to express his own disdain and judgment for social groups he encounters. Moreover, he shows and criticizes the use of satire by other characters revealing
Nothing brings people together more than a shared tragedy. In Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis, this important theme of tragedy is highly present, where the struggle is what causes bonding between the family members. Gregor, having metamorphosed affected his family greatly. Over time, his family had to adapt to the tragic transformation of Gregor, in order for them to live a comfortable and pleasant life. Having each understood that change is difficult to endure, they all metamorphosed, though instead

commentary on the changing political and social spheres. In addition, the material used for a piece of art has become as important in the narration of the work as the subject itself.

Through formal and cultural analysis, Jessica Morgan, in her article Material Concern, inspects various works created by Gowda and argues that

overcropping. The effects caused by overcropping can be lowered through the use of organic manure, i.e cattle dung, to the soil through irrigation. However, in areas such as the Sahel, deforestation is also happening in some of the areas suffering from soil erosion. This means that people are using cow dung for fuel instead of as an organic fertiliser. This means that there is no cattle dung to fertilise the land. Aspect 3: The effect desertification has on soils. Desertification is defined as the

make the slaughter of a cow / buffalo under the age of 15 to 16 illegal or if the animal is of importance and healthy. An argument, however, stated that the cattle will always be useful as even its dung is used for economic purposes. Honestly there seems no harm in the whole law being issued , if looked at, through the eyes of an ecologist . Cow slaughter is a very cruel industry and the animals are put under conditions that could be described as tortuous right from

Introduction Our aim of this experiment is to determine how eutrophication affects the growth of duckweed by adding different concentrations of fertilizers to the water with different types and forms of fertilizer keeping it in set conditions for a period of two months to observe how eutrophication affects the growth of duckweed. Thus our hypothesis for this aim is that it is expected that eutrophication would affect the growth of duckweed when different concentrations of fertilizers are added to
In Ezekiel 1-3 God is once again demanding someone, Ezekiel, to follow His every command against those who have been rebellious. I found it interesting that Ezekiel sat in Israel, watching and listening, overwhelmed for a total of seven days. This is a recurring amount of time that pops up occasionally, beginning in Genesis. Just as He did with the Egyptian Pharaoh and Moses, God sent Ezekiel to the Israelites knowing that he could not change their ways or their minds, perhaps even preventing it
the contrary, herbs contain the same (if not more) sustenance than flesh, and won’t lead you to disease. Many are convinced that if one were to eat free-range organisms than the animals live a longer, more fulfilled life, this is, in fact, a myth. Cows and pigs are only let outside for a very limited amount of time along with the compact living spaces. As more people are undergoing eye-opening experiences to view the mistreatment of farm animals of all kinds, and overwhelming health benefits of a
Sheep [1], goats, cattle, pigs [2] and geese were raised from earliest times and supplied repectively milk, wool, meat, eggs, leather, skins, horn and fat. Even the dung had its uses [7]. There is little evidence that mutton was consumed, while domesticated pigs were eaten at least since the beginning of the 4th millennium BCE [8], but pork had no place in religious ceremonies. Goat meat on the other hand was acceptable even to upper class Egyptians. Goat skins served as water containers and floating
