Metamorphasis Reference

I know we talked about the reference to Frued in class, but I just wanted to expand on it a little more. On page 36 it says, "He was holding himself very erect, dressed in a tight fitting blue uniform with gold buttons, the kind worn by messengers at banking concerns...darted...peircing. Talking about the father of gregor. I think this has a large symbolism to a penis and in the days that kafka was writing, Sigmund Frued came out with his pychoanilitical theory and he believed that a penis symbolized power and anything described or shaped in a penis symbolizes power. In this passage I believe that the father is described as a penis to symbolize that he is in power now and that he gregor is not.

Choice novel reaction

Recently I read the book The Arrival, and yes it is a picture book. I never knew that it would be so difficult to interrpret different pictures. You really have to look at every detail in the pictures and inturrpret what you think. Especcially in this because there are so many different fictional things that can be interrpreted in to different ways. Overall I thought the book was kinda interesting but at the same time i found it very confusing.

Reaction To Bartleby The Scrivener

I thought the story "Bartleby the scrivener" was a very odd story. It depicted what seemed to be a stubborn man, Bartleby, who grew worthless thoughout the story. He was always telling the narrator his preferences and this put the boss in a tough position and he wanted to get ride of him. I thought the funniest part of the story was when everyone in the office by using the word prefer, and they started talking like Bartleby. Overall I thought the story was very sad because Bartleby was a great scrivener without a place to belong and in that case he dies figuratively. Then he gets placed in jail and dies for real. That to me has a very simbolic meaning, which means he was no longer needed and in that case he ceased to exist.
