quizzzz

1. Connect the Ordinary World and the Call to Adventure to your reading of Book 1 of _The Metamorphosis_ Explain the connection.

the ordinary world is before he woke up. dreamland was/is normal and his home before going to bed was normal. his parents expected him to succeed at work and take care of the family, to keep his job. and the call to adventure would be when his parents knock on the door to ask him if he was going to get the 7am train since he missed the earlier one and of course it goes into him refusing the call then accepting when his boss gets there.

2. Are there any social issues being critiqued in the story? How does "The Red Scare" relate to Kafka's work?

i really honestly have no idea how "The Red Scare" has anything to do with this story unless i over-looked something. But the social issue is, the parents dont work..why are they sitting at home while this guy goes out for long periods of time working his tai off while they sit around eatting breakfast for hours on end everyday and then bitch at the guy for not making htem proud and keeping his job. thats a little screwed up.

3. What does Gregor turn into in the story?

i wanted to say a cockroach because of the weird shell but then i wanna say a millipede,centipede i dont know...some sort of multi-legged "vermin".
