(HELP) My design leads me to speak of forms changed into new bodies. Ye Gods, (for you it was who changed them) favor my attempts, and bring down the lengthened narrative from the very beginning of the world, even to my own times. [Ovid, Metamorphoses) One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible insect. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. [Kafka, Metamorphosis]. These two authors, separate by almost 2000 years, begin. their works in very different ways. Aside from the fact that Ovid speaks in the first person, what is the MOST significant difference in these excerpts?
A) Ovid seems to fear and despise transformation

B) Kafka is less descriptive than ovid

C) Ovid says the gods caused the transformation he will describe

D) Kafka blames the gods for Samsa's Transformation

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. for an african, whether you were sent to the caribbean or south america, you were now part of the sugar machine. and it did not much matter where your ship landed. you could be working the fertile fields of brazil or the hills of jamaica; the brutal cycle of making sugar was much the same. how does the use of the word machine support the authors' claim in this passage? its negative connotation indicates that enslaved people had to work like robots instead of human beings. its negative denotation indicates that some people preferred handmade sugar over factory-produced sugar. its positive connotation indicates that plantations ran efficiently and produced huge amounts of sugar. its positive denotation indicates that it was easier for enslaved people to make sugar with machines.
