Which two excerpts from franz kafka’s the metamorphosis show how gregor’s sister, grete, transformed in the story? "it's got to go," shouted his sister, "that's the only way, father. you've got to get rid of the idea that that's gregor. we've only harmed ourselves by believing it for so long. how can that be gregor? if it were gregor he would have seen long ago that it's not possible for human beings to live with an animal like that and he would have gone of his own free will. we wouldn't have a brother any more, then, but we could carry on with our lives and remember him with respect. as it is this animal is persecuting us, it's driven out our tenants, it obviously wants to take over the whole flat and force us to sleep on the streets. father, look, just look," she suddenly screamed, "he's starting again! " mr. and mrs. samsa sat upright there in their marriage bed and had to make an effort to get over the shock caused by the cleaner before they could grasp what she was saying. but then, each from his own side, they hurried out of bed. mr. samsa threw the blanket over his shoulders, mrs. samsa just came out in her nightdress; and that is how they went into gregor's room. on the way they opened the door to the living room where grete had been sleeping since the three gentlemen had moved in; she was fully dressed as if she had never been asleep, and the paleness of her face seemed to confirm this. "leave my home. now! " said mr. samsa, indicating the door and without letting the women from him. "what do you mean? " asked the middle of the three gentlemen somewhat disconcerted, and he smiled sweetly. the other two held their hands behind their backs and continually rubbed them together in gleeful anticipation of a loud quarrel which could only end in their favour. "i mean just what i said," answered mr. samsa, and, with his two companions, went in a straight line towards the man. the greatest improvement for the time being, of course, would be achieved quite easily by moving house; what they needed now was a flat that was smaller and cheaper than the current one which had been chosen by gregor, one that was in a better location and, most of all, more practical. all the time, grete was becoming livelier. with all the worry they had been having of late her cheeks had become pale, but, while they were talking, mr. and mrs. samsa were struck, almost simultaneously, with the thought of how their daughter was blossoming into a well built and beautiful young lady.

Part 2: thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named gandhi. gandhi, was a leader in india who worked to end british rule. he led india to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. he fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. like thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. in india, gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." he urged indians to boycott british education systems and leave government jobs. the movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the british controlled government arrested him. after a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. he inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. on one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. this march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. eventually india won independence from britain, in large part because of gandhi work. gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. as a result, dr. martin luther king looked to gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the south. the lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the south. king also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing african americans. these forms of protest were directly modeled on gandhi's, but king took them straight to the source of oppression. where gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, king's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. the passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. however, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. king remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. king learned from gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a new england poet who loved the woods. read this sentence from part 2: like thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. what is the point of this sentence? gandhi and thoreau had similar childhoods. gandhi had many admirable qualities. thoreau and gandhi were very similar. thoreau had a simple life compared to others.
