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:

What can we infer about Gregor when he replies to his mother, “Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.”

Gregor loves his mother.
Gregor gets hysterical in stressful situations.
Gregor stays calm in stressful situations.
Gregor is healthy and sane.

Which theme is best shown in this passage from My Antonia?

Those girls had grown up in the first bitter-hard times, and had got little schooling themselves. But the younger brothers and sisters, for whom they made such sacrifices and who have had “advantages,” never seem to me, when I meet them now, half as interesting or as well educated. The older girls, who helped to break up the wild sod, learned so much from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers; they had all, like Antonia, been early awakened and made observant by coming at a tender age from an old country to a new.

A good education is the key to success.
People are better off farming than going to school.
Women’s strength helps immigrant families to succeed.
Poverty leads people to have uninteresting lives.

Read the lines from Act I of Julius Caesar.

Cassius: For once upon a raw and gusty day, Caesar
said to me,"Darest thou, Cassius, now leap in with
me into this angry flood, and swim to yonder
point?" Upon the word, I plunged in and bade him
follow. So indeed he did. But Caesar cried, "Help
me, Cassius, or I sink!" (With a jealous sneer, he
points at Caesar's statue.) And this man is now be­-
come a god.

In this excerpt from Act I of Julius Caesar, Cassius tells the story of a past interaction he had with Caesar.

How does this interaction develop a conflict in the play?


Caesar had made an impression on Brutus and Cassius believes this will weaken Brutus's loyalty to him.

Caesar owes Cassius his life for saving him from drowning, but Caesar refuses to reward Cassius for his help.

Cassius thinks Caesar is unfit to be called a god or a king because he needed Cassius to rescue him from the flood waters.

Cassius feels Caesar has made a fool of him by ignoring the Soothsayer's warnings when Cassius brings him forward to speak.

HELP ENGLISH PASSAGE AND QUESTIONS, THIS IS A PART OF THE PASSAGE REST ARE IN THE OOO FILE:

Questions 7–19 are based on the following passages.

The following passages discuss the topic of intuition. The first was written by an American essayist in 2007. The second is an excerpt from a

book written by a research psychologist in 2002.

PASSAGE 1

According to a spate of recent popular books,

your faculty of intuition is an untapped source

of boundless power. You can access the ageless

wisdom of the universe, they claim, by simply

attuning yourself to the many non-rational

frequencies of information that envelop you.

To get an edge on your competition, learn to

listen to your gut.

Recent scientific research, however,

sheds a less sanguine and more cautionary

light on the power of irrationality. Studies

from such diverse fields as neurobiology,

evolutionary psychology, and economics

suggest that what we call intuition is in fact

the encroachment upon awareness of many

ancient systems of unconscious processing.

The often inchoate thoughts from our

unconscious are usually adorned by our

rational minds with a veneer of reason and

meaning, but they emanate from neural

systems better suited to our ancient ancestors than to modern humans. Trust them at

your own peril, and only if you value the

hunter-gatherer within you.

In order to survive and reproduce, our

ancestors often needed to process stimuli

quickly. When being chased by bears, they did

not have the luxury of researching the behavior

of omnivores in order to make the optimal

evasive maneuver.

In the poem, the speaker feels a sense of connection to his ancestors who immigrated to America and to the Native Americans who lived on the land before them. What might cause the speaker to feel connected to both groups of people? How can both parts of the history the speaker describes be part of their identity?
