I felt like they were different and connected to my claim well. In contrast, I think I could´ve elaborated more on the examples as well as lit crit.
-In this process, I learned that I have trouble thinking of ideas for projects without a clear layout, but this experience allowed me to work on that.
-If I could do it over, I probably would´ve done a different layout (other than canva) that was more exciting than just a powerpoint. Some of the people in my class made really creative things, which made me realize I could´ve been more creative.
-I´m proud of my short story example because I think it fits really well with my claim. The reason I´m proud of it is because it was really difficult to find short stories that actually aligned with my claim. ]]> 2022-10-11 15:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2335465757 reilly_whitlock_165 https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339047212 Gregor continues to struggle with his life as a bug. He begins to realize that things he once enjoyed, he is starting to not be able to stand . His family also struggles to accept Gregor´s state, and Gregor´s mother even passes out at the spotting of Gregor in the end of the chapter. ]]> 2022-10-13 16:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339047212 reilly_whitlock_165 https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339058839 ¨for no one here appreciated her playing as he would appreciate it¨ (Kafka 131). 
Gregor watches the lodgers, as well as his parents, not appreciate Grete´s violin playing and becomes upset (he can´t do anything). ]]> 2022-10-13 16:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339058839 reilly_whitlock_165 https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339066590 Throughout the story, examples of vampirism are displayed. For example, the treatment that Gregor´s father gives Gregor. Gregor´s conditions are not Gregor´s fault, yet his father treats him like it is entirely. He acts as though Gregor is a burden to the family and figuatively sucks the life out of him, eventually leading to his ultimate demise. ]]> 2022-10-13 16:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339066590 reilly_whitlock_165 https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339073114 After finishing the story, I feel very aggravated and upset. Gregor´s family almost never treated him as family, even though he died. Even though his state was extremely unfortunate, his father never seemed to care that Gregor´s human form was gone. Overall I wish it had ended happier, however, I feel like the end was symbolic in many ways. Gregor´s human form was only seen as useful for his work, so when he became a bug, he was useless to everyone. ]]> 2022-10-13 16:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/reilly_whitlock_165/8ehufr9rovgb1ouw/wish/2339073114
