We have finished The Metamorphosis, which means your assessment for the text is due Friday. Select 10 quotes (full sentences, dependent clauses, or independent clauses) that represent the novella, a character, a theme, a motif, whatever made the text for you. Using those 10 quotes - in any order - make into a poem that will be longer than 10 lines (since you have to break up those quotes into poetic form). Up to you how you organize the poem and if you include rhyme, meter, or repetition. As you have to use Kafka's words, you are limited in the poetic techniques; however, the theme of the poem can speak volumes.
Meanwhile, we also talked about Chaucer, Thomas a Becket, and frame stories in anticipation of The Canterbury Tales, which we should start tomorrow. If you weren't here, you have every opportunity to search online for the background since The Canterbury Tales (and everything related to it) are a seminal part of British Literature. Off to practice my Middle English!
