What is the passage. Supply me with it.

Answer 2

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

(1)One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-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.

(2)"What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table –Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.

(3)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.

Answer 3

does that help??? @MissSmartiez

Answer 4

is sick and not eating well

Nothing supports this, so,

Answer 5

feels weak and faint

Does anything support this? Is he weak, or just uncomfortable. Bring out evidence.

Answer 6

its his leg isn't

Answer 7

" 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"

He isn't weak. He is just uncomfortable, but why? So, not B.

Answer 8

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.

it says this in the last paragraph

Answer 9

And he never turned into a bug. That is so far fetched, and obviously not correct.

Answer 10

Correct, so it is?

Answer 11

okay thank you

Answer 12

He hints that he couldn't look at his what? Legs.

Answer 13

right so its c

Answer 14

???

Answer 15

When you dream, and you are under stress, your dream would compact what you are worried about.

'His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.'

Again, he hinted HIS LEGS, so, it might be him, in the bed, after an accident, regretting how his legs look now.

Answer 16

So, yes, C!

Answer 17

okay thank you!!!

Answer 18

However, I did look again in the paragraph, and the title summary.

Answer 19

His dream is saying that he is imagining himself turn into an insect, though it seems that his legs are in the result of a injury.

So, it could be conveyed as both, but I still think C. (It seems more likely than the dream XD)

Answer 20

okay thank you, um do you know what point of view it is written in
