The word translated as vermin in the first sentence of The Metamorphosis is "Ungeziefer" in the original German. As Kafka probab

ly knew, Ungeziefer derives from a Middle High German word meaning "an unclean animal not suited for sacrifice." What meaning do you think this word conveys about the nature of Gregor’s metamorphosis? Do you think that his death can be seen as a sacrifice in any sense?

Answer:

At the start of the book, Gregor Samsa might have turned into such an insect but it's clear when you pass thru the entirety of the series that the rest of his won't alter. Whenever anything and someone is going via a transformation, there must be an abrupt difference not just in physical attributes as well as from within.

Gregor may also have altered but he somehow decided to work and provide the food and money he required for his relatives. He realised that his family had been able to fend for themselves in his death as an insect since they can no longer rely on him to continue providing their wants.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage.

Explanation:

In her “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt uses the rhetorical device of kairos by constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage. This can be seen in the beginning of her speech when she mentions "Three distinct causes made it inevitable."

As kairos as a literary device means using balance and decorum in the speech/writing, Carrie makes sure that her speech contain step by step explanation for every objective. She then finally comes to the end of her speech by projecting the listeners and stakeholders of their part in the bringing a change.

Carrie uses the opportunity of kairos to direct her speech to the listeners and statesmen by asking them whether to support women's suffrage or not. This can be seen in the last lines of her speech "Woman suffrage is coming -- you know it. Will you, Honorable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, help or hinder it?"
