Melvin Burgess uses language very powerfully in a variety of different ways. He uses very persuasive ways of changing the readers opinion but leaves it open a bit to you can still think what you want and kind of have your own opinion about the book but adds a bit of his own opinion. My first reason why Burgess uses language powerfully is that he said “Its’s getting colder and you know you’ve got nothing to lose.” This shows that one of the characters is in deep trouble when something is

A man turns into a cockroach‚ is rejected by those nearest to him‚ and suddenly dies with an apple on his back. The plot of “The Metamorphosis” is just that. Or is it? The story is filled with emotion and modernist concepts. The three A’s of modernism‚ anxiety‚ ambiguity‚ and alienation‚ show up prominently in Kafka’s writing.

There are two accounts of the covenant that God made with Abraham in the Bible‚ in Genesis fifteen and Genesis seventeen.
