In this short story by Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis, we find the main character, Gregor Samsa, turned into a bug, for no apparent reason, at the beginning of the story. As he comes to terms with his new existence, saddened by at all, late in the story, he hears his sister playing the violin, and extremely moved by her music, he leaved his room for the first time in the story to tell her sister that what she is playing is beautiful, but as her sister and the other renters see him, he causes in them nothing but disgust. This sets the story for the dismal concluding scene.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
