2. staples begins his essay by discussing the effect of his presence on another person. however, others'
reactions to his presence affect him in return, and he spends much of the essay explaining the emotional and
practical effects he experiences as a consequence of his interactions. how is the complication and paradox of
these situations expressed by the last sentence about staples' whistling classical music being the "equivalent
of the cowbell that hikers wear when they know they are in bear country" (paragraph 12)?

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.
