Question: Assignment for Metamorphosis- Franz Kafka!.!?
Ok so after reading this book, I contemplated some possible solutions to a writing assignment but then after re-reading the assignment- i got a little confused!. Could someone please help me that has read this book!.!.with the following assignment:

Write an obituary for the traveling salesman, Greogor Samsa!.

The reconstruction will be determined by the often inarticulate anxieties, hopes,and beliefs that you share with your readership!.

also reflect on the voice you wish to speak as!.!.!.

in other words- are you writing the commemoration of Gregor for a literary quarterly, a union newspaper, an insurance company newsletter, a religious journal, or a family digest!?



Yeah, a little confused bc i don't really see how I could be the voice for any of those types of sources!.!.!.!.what exactly is a family digest anyway!? my basic question would be how could I approach this assignment and how should I approach my reader's if they were to read Gregor's obituary- who should I write it for!?!?!?

AHHHHHHHHHHHH help!

Well I believe that what you will write should differ in respect to whom do you write for!. [I am sorry I am not a native English speaker therefore I cannot be 100% with my answer] Just if you write it for the literary magazine, you should speak about the greatness of the character of Gregor, if you write it to a union newspaper, you should write how valuable Gregor was, what everyone have lost and stuff, if you write it to an insurance company newsletter you just mention his death and a couple of facts without emotions, if it is a religious journal - lots of emotions and lots of interpretations, family digest!.!. hmm!. I am also not sure what it is!. Maybe a kind of a history of the family!?

Well I hope you got the point!. Good luck with the task!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
