Soutphomasane, titled "We must stamp on the cockroach of racism" (The Age, 8/4/2013), Tim contends that the expression of racism is deeply disconcerting and reflects the failure on the part of society to recognise and eliminate it. By applying a critical and concerned tone, Tim challenges the reader's perception on the implications of racism in Australian society and how it can be addressed. (intended effect) Tim opens his piece by asserting "Racism is like a cockroach of civilised society".…

There is a lot of different views placed in The Metamorphosis. One of the views is the indifference and separation with the relationship with his family, social life and his life after the changeover. Gregor is diminished into a cockroach by the world around him and his family; Human Fallibility is ultimately narcissistic. What I picked up from the reading is that Gregor is so kind hearted and open handed, and that is why he was treated the worse from his family; Gregor Should have been treated…

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka starts off with a man who wakes up one morning to find himself in the body of a cockroach. His belly is rounded, brown, and divided into segments, and he had multiple thin legs. His mother calls his name through the locked door, and when he answers her, he doesn’t recognize his own voice. He tries to tell them he is alright and that he is getting up right away, but his voice sounded different to them too. He manages to roll off the bed and unlocks the door by…

possibly mentally. But by Gregor’s transformation into a cockroach the loyalty, empathy and love of the family are tested. Gregor is rejected from his family and Kafka makes it seem like there is no such thing as unconditional love. Throughout most of his life Gregor lived a life of giving and never receiving anything in return to the point where his family’s cruelty killed him. “When…

two years ago I was sitting at home with the T.V. on, watching my daily news when suddenly the T.V. cut to an emergency broadcast. The ground shook and I knew the worst thing imaginable was about to unfold. The next words out of this reporter’s mouth would decide if I run out the door to the vault or finish my coffee. For the past three years we’ve been at war with almost every country. And today might be the day one of those countries decides to drop nukes and wipe us out the next words would…

pivotal point in Gregor Samsa’s life where the ‘Fictional world that didn’t exist before’ (Eagleton, 2013, p. 8) is inaugurated. We are told initially that Gregor Samsa ‘awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself changed into a monstrous cockroach’ (Kafka, Hofmann, 2007, p. 87). This opening establishes the supernatural transformation,…

art away from the artist. The text, though, says otherwise. People might also insist that all of the stories describe change as being good. They might say that Gregor simply needs an attitude adjustment and that if he thinks about it, becoming a cockroach could benefit him in some way.
