@vengeance: Lol sureeee
I feel pretty good about this answer lol
"What Kafka is trying to say in this quote is books have to affect us in a way nothing else can. The Metamorphosis has a good meaning to it and a sad one as well seeing as it has a tragic ending. He is trying to show us that this is what life is like. We live a good life or maybe even go through rough times and our lives get turned upside down, but there is always the same ending, death. If the ending to every book was happy, what would that teach us about life? If the characters in the book were perfect, what would that teach us about ourselves? Nothing. We always have tragedies and we make mistakes. In Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”, he tries to display each emotion people may feel. This isn’t just a book, it’s life. We may not turn into a vermin like Gregor did, but it’s not about that anyways."
The question is "11. Consider the quote below. Is Metamorphosis such a book? Explain your response.
“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.” ~Franz Kafka"
