In the famous speech, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, by Jonathan Edwards, he focuses on persuading his audience to be born again. He speaks in a calm, monotone voice and never makes direct contact with the audience. Isn’t a good speaker supposed to have qualities such as direct eye contact, hand gestures, and a variety of voice tones? So how did Jonathan have such a powerful and famous speech without using any of the listed qualities? He created a persuasive speech by threatening Hell, frightening the audience with multiple archetypes, and describing how massively their religion has changed.

The deterioration of Gregor's life was in part due to the ostracism associated with his being turned into a bug. Once his family found out what happened, they banished him to his room, and his parents could not even bear to look at him. Prior to his metamorphosis, Gregor was an integral part of the family. He provided the money by which the family survived. Yet as soon as he changed, he was labeled an outcast, who was useless to the family, and therefore not paid any attention. He felt this ostracism, and it made him not want to continue on in life, he gave up because he felt unloved.

In Love and Hate in Jamestown it talks about the hard times in early Virginia when the Jamestown settlement was just beginning. The book goes to tell the story of John Smith and the Indian Princess, Pocahontas. He explains the friendship between the two that how there wasn’t any romantic feelings between the two, but how the princess was fascinated with the English settlers and John Smith.

His family's lack of acceptance leaves Gregor “...completely filled with rage at his miserable treatment…” (Page 41). He sees that that family never really cared about him except for when he was helping them out of debt. Gregor soon becomes accepting of his physical metamorphosis and accepts his life living in “the darkest corner of his room” (Page 44). Not only does Gregor become accepting of his physical feature but he begins to accept the fact that he no longer really cares about his family anymore. Gregor embraces his feelings of dislike towards his family, he says, “It hardly surprised him that lately he was showing so little consideration for others; once such consideration had been his greatest pride” (Page 45). This shows that once Gregor becomes aware of the way his family feels towards his metamorphosis, his isolation and alienation leads him to care less about his family's expectation and views of

Gregor’s major transformation occurred not when he turned into a bug, but through the changes in his life. Gregor’s life before the changed into some sort of bug was like a bumble bee. He would go through life doing as others told him. In

First lets show how this happened in The Metamorphosis. The lack of sympathy the author had for Gregor was amazing. He went through a change in his life that no one thought would be possible. He went

While Gregor has gone through a more physically based metamorphosis, his change to a bug is simply physical and has no effect on his emotional wellbeing. Near the end of the first sentence in the book, ' […] he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. ' It is shown that he has been turned into a bug, plain and simple. What is shown later on in the book further proves the point that his change is only physical. An example is this, 'He remembered his family with deep feeling and love.' Gregor's family is clearly very important to him and he has a lot of emotion towards them, primarily love. Emotions like love are not associated with bugs, rather feelings of disgust and hate are most commonly associated with them.

What if a person’s car would not start if there was alcohol detected in the bloodstream anytime they tried to drive? Vehicle breathalyzers make this a reality. “Ignition interlocks installed in cars measure alcohol on the driver’s breath. Interlocks keep the car from starting if the driver has a BAC above a certain level, usually 0.02%. They’re used for people convicted of drunk driving and are highly effective at preventing repeat offenses while installed. Mandating interlocks for all offenders, including first-time offenders, will have the greatest impact.” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1) Driving is a privilege, not a right. A drunk drivers car becomes a weapon. All vehicles should be equipped with a Breathalyzer in order to increase public safety by preventing drunk driving.

Gregor’s transformation begins when he wakes up and is morphed into an insect, and watches his family’s lives progress without him able to support himself, let alone them.

"As Gregor [Samsa] awoke from unsettling dreams one morning, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin" (Kafka, 1). Gregor's most obvious change was his transformation from a business man to a bug. Since it is an external change, discovering the change was not limited to only him. Due to his new appearance and inability to work, Gregor was, so to speak, shunned by his family because he couldn't provide for them any longer. The Samsa family did not recognize Gregor for his internal self, but mistook him for a useless bug.

Though Gregor changes into a bug, the reader never sees Gregor as a human. The reader just sees Gregor as this static character throughout the novella. This is important because Gregor starts out in the novella as a bug, and ends as a bug. Also, when contrasting the personality change of the Grete and Gregor, Gregor’s personality did not change all that much.

The first character to undergo change in The Metamorphosis is Gregor. The major change that Gregor undergoes is his relationship with his sister, and how Grete loved him at first, but she wanted to kill him in the end. When his father and mother first realize that Gregor didn’t get up to go to work, they begin yelling at him to open the door, but Grete only asks him if he is “alright” or if he “needs anything.” By the end of the story, Grete finds herself wanting Gregor dead.

I agree with your theory that Gregor has always been a bug! This story teaches us how people can forget the past so easily and move on. Gregor is the one who was taking care of his family and supported them financially but when he turned into something useless (cockroach) they started to feel they won’t need him anymore since he is not being able to support them and they are getting tired of taking care of him.

In The Metamorphosis, Gregor became a near-human-sized beetle overnight. Gregor’s family chooses three different ways to handle it. The father wanted to treat him as inferior and not belonging because he didn’t see Gregor as containing human intelligence. The mother wanted to treat him as a pet, like a household pet that they could take care of and love, but not let out of the house. The sister wanted to pretend Gregor was still a human, stuck in a bug body, giving him human food and telling him stories.
