.... ideas. Gregor also was not aware of his family’s true financial status, which is iron since he was the one providing for them. His parents seemed to be keeping something from him. Gregor’s separation from his family also had to do with his work. Since he had to travel a lot of the time, he just wasn’t around that often to spend time with his parents and sister. Even after Gregor’s metamorphosis, many of his attributes remained similar. He still cared most about his work; that was pretty much all he thought about even when he first turned into a bug. “The next train went at seven o’clock; to catch that he would need to h .....

.... Crook’s actions along with not having any friends show why he must be the lonelinest character. Not having any friends is one of the reasons why Crooks is lonely.

.... which will later set the stage for events that will happen in his future. Black people are viewed different in this time period and the narrator does not understand near the end of the story. The narrator looks up to his grandfather. He told the narrator’s father to keep up the fight. The father then tells the narrator what the grandfather told him. This was just being passed down through the different generations. This to me shows the loving relationship that the grandson and the grandfather share. Near the end of the story however, his grandfather’s presence scares him to death. The grandfather’s advice was a little too much for the narrator to handle. " .....

.... owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons, and wild animals!… Keep out from under these feet, little bob-whites… Keep the big wild hogs out of my path. Don’t let none of those come running my direction. I got a long way.” Her journey brings her to a hill that she climbs up and down. “At the foot of this hill was a place where a log was laid across the creek.” Phoenix shuts her eyes and crosses the log and opens her eyes when she is across.

.... Krebs returns home from World War I to a society that he no longer feels attached to. It can be assumed that before the war Krebs worked within society since he is depicted in a college photo along with his similarly-dressed fraternity brothers. When he enlists into the Marines though, life becomes simplistic; you eat, sleep, and fight. The problem arises when Krebs tries to return from a simplistic lifestyle of war, to a much more complicated domestic lifestyle. "Ironically, Krebs is disillusioned less by the war than by the normal peacetime world which the war had made him to see too clearly to accept" (Burhans 190). Krebs seeks refuge from this disillu .....

.... reader can focus on in order to reveal something about the poem. The “two roads diverged in a yellow wood” vividly portray the fact that it is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity that will be missed out on.
