Which other Kafka works did you enjoy and what makes them different to the metamorphosis for you?

>>9113638
Favorite one of mine is probably "The Trial". The difference that made it enjoyable to me is that I felt that K was a more believable character than Samsa. Samsa felt almost tragicomic in his behaviour, like someone took Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh and elevated him to "classic literature" status.

>"Oh well, I'm a bug now"

The point is that his family never did love him. His whole life was working a shit job that he hated so that they'd be supported, and the moment he became unable to do so, they essentially abandoned him. They only wanted him cured so that he could support them again. Outside of being the money maker, he had no value whatsoever in his family.

He worked as hard as he could for these people, and the very moment he needed them, what happens? They complain and lament their situation, and eventually rejoice in his death when it arrives

It's the wrong board and the wrong website since it has no board for homework help.
If you can't figure out your problem, you also probably shouldn't go for a degree. Doesn't sound like you are studying anything worthwhile either.

That said, I have no idea what you mean by "increase consumers attitude". If you are researching disability discrimination and discrimination laws, then the aim of your research is to FIND OUT about the advantages and disadavantages. Once you have those, you can put a pretty bow on them but you're pretty much done.

>>9112941
Well it's HR so yeah i guess it isnt that important, i still want to graduate tho.

I already mentioned the advantages and disadvantages in the paper so it wouldn't make sense to make the aim finding out about them

>>9112941
i also don't think this is the wrong board, it's literature and im writing my thesis

I'm only 18. Would it still be enjoyable? Why is it suited for 15 y/os?

>>9112932
I still find it enjoyable. I've read some of the actual philosophers cited in this, but it's good to just blast through something for the fun of it and kind of gives you a full picture of 3000 years of Western Philosophy without getting bogged down while at the same time not trivializing it either.

It would have explained a lot to me when I was younger. They're universal questions no matter how well read you are, so I don't get bored. And it reminds you what it was like to have that inquisitive childish innocence.

Yeah, I read it when I was 14 or so. Don't remember anything about the philosohpy, just the spooky story and the atmosphere.

The idea of secret knowledge passed on by books, confusing and magical worlds that you choose to explore - outside of the school system - that was the main gift it gave me.

The first Shannara book (Sword) is a carbon copy of LOTR. Plot, characters, places line up uncannily. Still comfy though, and the ending is pretty original. Elfstones and Wishsong are both good, the Heritage of Shannara (tetrology) is amazing.

Stop reading Shannara after that. Just read the first 5 books, and fucking stop.

I'd say it's a tie between Darío, Borges, and Rulfo for Latin America.

>>9112365
Mexico has nothing to do with South America. Americans are retarded for creating this Latin America definition.

Yes, you might have the same problem as me. When I was a kid I would write tunes, but i would draw a picture of it to remember it. Even after learning to read music and the theory of it. The local university had me match a bunch of colors to sounds and random, and then repeat it in a different order a bunch of times to make sure I wasn't bullshitting.

I don't remember what it's called, but it's basically a confusion of senses/perception. So for me tastes have a pitch and music looks like a picture. Numbers all have genders and attitudes and stuff like that.
6 is the nice girl who likes 7, but he is way too taken with sexy 8, who happens to be a huge bitch and only hooks up with 9 and 15 and other assholes like that.

It doesn't matter, just don't sound like a crazy person in groups.

most likely the best novel ever written in the english language, definitely a good use of your free time you'd probably just spend jacking off or reading genre fiction otherwise

Don't. Nobody understands Hegel, and that is according to Hegel himself. If none understood him in his time I don't think you or I stand a chance.
