Write a short essay of around 700 words in response to the following.  Do not consult outside sources or each other.  Work on your own, using Kafka’s The Metamorphosis and any material in this module as support. Be sure that you have a solid, defendable thesis statement toward the end of the introduction, which can be brief; focus in on your point quickly. Have a strong, analytic topic sentence that furthers your argument for each paragraph and avoid any sentence-level errors, particularly serious errors such as fused sentences or comma splices. Do NOT summarize; bring up the relevant points from the literature that support your thesis.  Pay attention to the author’s language and use quotes to substantiate your claims. Be as specific as you can be. Follow MLA style.
