Metamorphosis

by Frank Kafka

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.

“What’s happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream.

Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

There was a cautious knock at the door near his head. “Gregor,” somebody called—it was his mother—“it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere?” Gregor was shocked when he heard his own voice answering, it could hardly be recognized as the voice he had had before. As if from deep inside him, there was a painful and uncontrollable squeaking mixed in with it, the words could be made out at first but then there was a sort of echo which made them unclear. Gregor had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything, but in the circumstances contented himself with saying: “Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.”

Review the excerpt from the story “Metamorphosis” and answer the question below:

Gregor wakes up to find himself transformed. In two to three sentences, describe the creature you think he has transformed into. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

You are helping your friend by peer-editing his research paper on the Japanese Americans during World War II. He is worried that he might have misused some words or made other bad choices. Rewrite the paragraphs below.

Prisoners lived in prison cells but were allowed to engage in hobbies and do their cooking. The reason for letting them have hobbies and cook was because it made them easier to control. In June 1943, the internees were moved to INS facilities, but German POWs were kept in the Stringtown facility for the remainder of the war. They were later moved to army sights. The facility was closed by the army in 1943. Near the end of the war, the facility may have been used as a state hospital, but it was returned to its original prison in 1945. The Stringtown facility is now called the Mack Alford Correctional Center, a medium-security prison.

Answer:

Prisoners that once lived on prison were allowed to engage in hobbies and do their cooking. The reason for letting them have hobbies and cook was because it made them easier to control. In June 1943, the internees were moved to INS facilities, but German POWs were kept in the Springtown facility for the remainder of the war. So then they were moved to army sights. Near the end of the war, the facility may have been used as a state hospital, but it was returned to its original prison in 1945. The Springtown facility is now called the Mack Alford Correctional Center, a medium-security prison.

Answers

Answer:

"Cultivating a growth mindset is like learning a new language. You've got to work at it everyday, but with practice, it becomes more natural, and eventually, you become fluent".

Explanation:

The main point to be taken from this article is that people should learn to get back on their feet even after suffering failure. Therefore, just as we are bound to fail severally when learning a new language, we are also likely to fail in certain matters about life.

However, if we cultivate a growth mindset, we will not remain fixed with our problems, rather, we will look for ways to work on them, get better, and grow. We should not try to hide our deficiencies or internalize failure rather we must be ready to explore and remain resilient.

summarize what happened in Maycomb tom Robinson trial in the book how to kill a mocking bird

Answers

Answer:

Tom Robinson is on trial in Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" for the alleged sexual assult (i would say the owrd but then brainly wont let me post it) of Bob Ewell's daughter, Mayella Ewell. Mayella Ewell approached Tom Robinson on his way home and requested him to assist her with something.

Explanation:

The reader observes the trial through the eyes of Scout Finch, Atticus's eight-year-old daughter. As Scout walks into the courtroom, she notices Sheriff Tate testifying about the suspected crime. Atticus repeatedly asks Tate if he or the victim's father, Bob Ewell, had phoned for a doctor; Tate's answer, "no," causes debate in Atticus' mind.

As the interrogation progresses, Tate claims Mayella was struck on the right side of her face, which Ewell concurs with. Judge Taylor threatens Ewell's removal from court when he takes the stand because of his obnoxious manner. When Atticus invites Ewell to write his name on a sheet of paper, he calms down. Ewell, not comprehending that this will reveal to the jury that he is left-handed and hence a suspect, does it again.Ewell again becomes angry and discontinues his testimony.

Since all parties agree Mayella was hit on the right side of her face, everyone also agrees that the suspect must be left handed atticus then asks tomn to stand and show them his deformed left arm.

Answer:

Explanation:

improve your fluency, you’ll have to work hard for it by making a commitment, setting goals, and dedicating time to study and practice. If you live in an English-speaking country, you’ll have an advantage, but you won’t become a better English speaker unless you take steps to improve.

As a matter of fact, there are a lot of people who live in English-speaking countries who say they want to learn English but do all their business and live their regular lives without taking any steps to progress their language abilities. Believe it or not, some people even take English language classes but don’t improve because they’re not willing to put in time to study and practice or to make English a part of their lives.

This isn’t about passing judgment; rather, it’s just a bit of tough love to demonstrate that there aren’t shortcuts to learning English as some might want to believe. Again, making noticeable progress takes time, dedication, and hard work.
