I just want to see my son Craigslist Craigslist Coventry Rhode Island stop what are we going to do now metamorphosis by Franz Kafka part 1 one morning when Gregor samsa woke from Troubled Dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible Vermin he lay on his armor like that and if you lived had a little he could see his brown belly slightly domed and / arches in two different sections the bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any bone is mini legs beautifully thin compared with the size of the rest of them about helplessly as you look what's happened to me he thought it wasn't a dream his room a proper human room although a little too small leap usefully between is a collection of textile samples they spread out on the table samsa was a traveling salesman and above it found a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrator magazine and house in a nice gilded frame it should a lady fitted out for the fur hat and fur boa who sat upright raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer breaker then turn to look out the window at the Dole weather drops of rain to be hard-hitting to payment which made him feel quite sad how about if I slept a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense you thought but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right and in his present State couldn't get into that position however hard he threw himself onto his right he always rolled back to where he was you must have tried it a hundred times shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs and only stopped when he began to feel a mild there that he had never felt before Oh God he thought strenuous career it is that I've chosen traveling day in and day out doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home and on top of that there's the curse of traveling worries about making train connections add a regular food contact with different people all the time so that you never get to know anyone or become friendly with him he can all go to he felt a slight itch upon his belly push themselves where's the headboard so that he could lift his head better found where the itch was and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn't know what to make and when he tried to fill the place with one of his legs Detroit quickly because as soon as he touched you he was overcome by a full shutter He Slipped back into his former position getting up early all the time he thought it makes you stupid you've got to get enough sleep other traveling salesman's living a life of luxury for is whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating your breakfast out to just try that with my boss I get kicked out on the spot but who knows maybe that would be the best if I didn't have my parents to think about I have given in my notice a long time ago I have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think tell him everything I let him know just what I feel he's right off his desk and it's right up close because the boss is hard of hearing well there's still some hope once I've got the money together to pay off my parents debt to him another five or six years I suppose that's definitely what I'll do that's when I'll make the big change first of all though I've got to get up train leaves at 5 and she looked over at the alarm clock ticking on the chest of drawers God in heaven he thought it was half past 6 and a hands were quietly moving forward it was even later than 1/2 pound worst quarter to 7 at the alarm clock not what you can see from the that had to set for 4 it's certainly must have wrong yes but was it possible to quietly sleep through that furniture rattling noise true he is not slept peacefully what should you do now the next train when at 7 if you were to catch that he would have to rush like mad and the collection of samples with still not packed and he did not at all feel particularly fresh and Lively and even if he did catch the train he would not avoid his bosses anger as the office assistant would have been there to see the 5 train go he would have put it news report about Gregor's not being there a long time ago the office assistant what's the bosses man spineless and with no understanding what about if you reported sick but that would be extremely strange and suspicious as in 15 years of service Gregor had never once yet been ill his boss would certainly come around with a doctor from the medical insurance company accused his parents of having a lazy son and accept a doctor's recommendation not to make any claim as the Walker believe that no one was ever ill but that many were work-shy and what's more would he have been entirely wrong in this case Gregor did in fact apart from excessive sleepiness after sleeping for so long feel completely well and even felt much hungrier than usual he was still probably thinking all this through unable to decide to get out of bed when the Clock Struck quarter to 7 there was a cautious knock at the door your his head Gregor somebody called it was his mother it's quarter to seven didn't you want to go somewhere that gentle voice record was shocked when he heard his own voice answer it could hardly be recognized as the boys he had had before as if from deep inside him there was a painful and uncontrollable squeaking mixed in with it the words can be made out at first but then there was a sort of echo which made them unclear leaving the here unsure whether he had heard properly or not record had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything but in the circumstances contented himself yes Mother yes thank you getting up now the change in Gregor's boys probably could not be noticed outside through the wooden door as his mother was satisfied with this explanation and shuffled away but this short conversation made the other members of the family aware that tiger against their expectations would still at home and soon his father came knocking at one of the side doors gently but with his fists Gregor Gregor you called what's wrong and we're short while he called again with Gregor at the other side door his sister came plaintively Gregor well do you need anything Gregor answer to both sides I'm ready now making an effort to remove all the strangeness from his voice by getting very carefully and putting long pauses between each individual word went back to his breakfast but his sister whispered Gregor open the door I beg of you record however had no thought of opening the door and instead congratulated himself or his cautious habit I heard from his traveling of locking all doors at night even when he was at home the first thing he wanted to do was to get up and peace without being disturbed to get dressed and most of all to have his breakfast only did what what to do next as he was well aware that he would not bring his thoughts by lying in bed he remember perhaps caused by wind awkwardly but that had always turned out to be Pure Imagination and he wondered how his imaginings would slowly resolve themselves today he did not have the slightest doubt that the change in his voice was nothing more than the first sign of which was an occupational hazard traveling salesman it was a simple matter to throw off the covers he only had to blow himself up a little and they fell off by themselves but it became difficult after all especially as he was so exceptionally brought here used is orange and his hands to push himself up but instead of then he had only all those little legs continuously moving in different directions and which he was more over unable to control if you wanted to bed one of them then that way the first one that would stretch itself out and if he finally managed to do what he wanted with that way all the other seem to be set free and would move about painfully this is something that can't be done in bed Gregor said to himself I keep trying to do it the first thing he wanted to do was to get the lower part of his body out of the bed but he had never seen this lower part I could not imagine what it look like it turned out to be too hard to do it went so slowly I'm finally almost in a frenzy when he carelessly showed himself for words with all the force he could gather he chose the wrong direction hit hard against the lower bedpost and learn from the burning pain he felt that the lower part of his body white well at present be the most sensitive guys course not. That's why I left I mean I'm different talking about where you at what's the weather so then he tried to get the top part of his body out of the bed first carefully turning his head to the side this he managed quite easily and despite its breath and its weight the bulk of his body eventually followed slowly in the direction but when he had at last got his head out of the bed and into the fresh air it occurred to him that if he let himself fall it would be a miracle if his head were not injured so he became afraid to carry on pushing himself forward the same way and he could not knock himself out now at any price better to stay in bed then lose consciousness it took just as much effort to get back to where he had been earlier but when he your sign and was once more watching his legs as they struggled against each other even harder than before if that was possible he could think of no way of bringing peace and order to this case he told himself once more possible for him to stay in bed and at the most sensible thing to do would be to get free of it in whatever way he could at whatever sacrifice at the same time though he did not forget to remind himself that, consider mission was much better than rushing to desperate conclusions at times like this he would direct his eyes to the window and look out as clearly as he could but unfortunately even the other side of the Narrow Street was envelope and if you had little confidence which ear to offer him 7 already he said to himself when the Clock Struck again 7 and they're still a fog like this and lay there quietly a while longer breathing lightly as if you perhaps expected the total Stillness to bring things back to the real and natural state but then he said to himself before it strikes quarter past 7 I'll definitely how to get properly out of bed and by then somebody will have come round from work asked what happened to me as well as they open up at work before 7 and so he sent himself to the task of swinging the entirely if his body out of the bed all at the same time if you succeeded in falling out of bed in this way and kept his head raised as he did so he could probably avoid injury it his back seem to be quite hard and probably nothing would happen to it falling onto the carpet his main concern was for the loud noise he was bound to make and which even through all the doors would probably raise concern if not alarm but it was something that had to be risked when Gregor was already sticking halfway out of the bed the new method was more of a game than an effort all he had to do was Rock back and forth it occurred to him how simple everything would be if somebody came to help her strong people he had his father in the made in mine would have been more than enough they would only have to push their arms under the dome of his back peel him away from the bed then down to the word and then be patient and careful at these hangover on the floor where hopefully the little legs would kind of use should he really call for help though even apart from the fact that all of the doors were locked despite all the difficulties he was in he could not see smile at the storm after a while he had already moved so far across that it would have been hard for him to keep his balance but you brought too hard the time was now playing at 7 and he would have to make a final then there was a ring at the door if a fly that'll be somebody from work he said to himself Frozen. Still although his little legs only became all the more will you play dance around for a moment everything remain quiet they're not opening the door Gregor said to himself caught in Summit nonsensical hope but then of course the maids firm step which of the door as ever and opened it regular only needed to hear the visitors first words of greeting and he knew who it was the chief clerk himself why did you ever have to be the only one condemned to work for a company where they immediately became highly suspicious at the slightest shortcoming we're all employees every one of them loud was there not one of them who was faithful and devoted who could go so mad with pangs conscious that he couldn't get out of bed if you didn't spend at least a couple of hours in the morning for my company business was it really not enough to let one of the trainees make enquiries assuming enquiries were even necessary did the chief clerk have to come himself and do they have to show the whole innocent family that this was so suspicious that only the chief clerk could be trusted to have the wisdom to investigate it and more because please talk to me him upset any proper decision he swing himself with all his  out of the bed there was a loud thump but it wasn't really allowed with his was also more elastic than he had thought which made the sound muffled and not too noticeable he had not held his head carefully enough though and hit it as he fell and didn't teach her nope things falling down in there said the chief clerk in the room on the left breaker try to imagine where there's something of the sort that had happened to him today could ever happen to the chief part 2 had to concede that it was possible what is it in rough reply to this question the chief clerks firm Footsteps in his highly polished boots could now be heard in the adjoining room from the room on his right record the chief Clark is here yes I know sir Gregor to himself but without daring to raise his voice loud enough for his sister to hear him regular said his father now from the room to his left the two Clark is come round and wants to know why you didn't leave on the early train we don't know what to say to him and anyway he wants to speak to you personally so please stop the store I'm sure he'll be good enough for forgive the untidiness of your room then the chief clerk called good morning mr. Samsung he isn't well said his mother to the chief clerk while his father can you speak through the door he isn't well please believe me why else would rather have missed the Train the lad only ever thinks about the business it nearly makes me cross the way he never goes out in the evenings he's been in town what state home every evening he sits with us in the kitchen and just reached the paperwork said he's train timetables his idea of relaxation it working with his friend saw he's made a little frayed it only took him two or three evenings amazed how nice it is it's hanging up in his room you'll see it as soon as Gregor opens the door anyway I'm glad you're here we wouldn't have been able to get Gregor to open the door by ourselves he's so stubborn and I'm sure he is it well he said this morning that he is but he isn't I'll be there in a moment said Gregor slowly and thoughtfully but without moving so that he would not miss any word of the conversation well I can't think of any other way of explain this is Samsung said the chief Park I hope it's nothing serious but on the other hand I must say that if we people in Commerce ever becomes slightly unwell then fortunately or unfortunately as you like we still how to overcome it because of business considerations can the chief clerk coming to see you now then ask his father and patiently knocking at the door again no said Gregor in the room is right there followed a painful silence in the room on his left his sister began to cry so why did your sister not go in and join the others she would probably only just got up and had not even begun to get dressed and why was she was it because he had not got up it had not let the chief clerk in because he was in danger of losing his job and if that happened his boss would once more pursue their parents with the same demands as before no need to worry about things like that yet Gregor was still there and had not the slightest intention of abandoning his family for the time being he just lay there on the carpet and no one who knew the condition he was in would seriously have expected him to let the chief clerk in it was only a minor discourtesy and a suitable excuse could not easily be found for it later on it was not something for which could be sacked on the spot and it seems much more sensible to leave him now in peace instead of disturbing him with talking to him and crying but the others didn't know what was happening they were worried that would excuse their behavior look at that thing can I hear why can't why do you know is Holi a movie mascara I wasn't that scared how to make shepherd's pie almost oxymoron absolution what is that what's the coldest planet animal dentist 4363 Bonita Beach Road how to get from the Terra on the screen Darkness Falls across the land the Midnight Hour is Clemson have crawl in search of blood draws neighborhood without them getting loose down the how you say l. Inside a corpse yellow I don't understand she's in the air the funk of forty Thousand Years sperm every two closing in on you to see how you're doing and who you fighting to stay alive your body starts to the cheap Clark now raised in sports what is wrong you barricade yourself give us no more than yes or no for an answer you are causing serious and unnecessary concern to your parents and you fail and I mention this just by the way you fail to carry out your business duties in a way that is quite unheard of I'm speaking here on behalf of your peers and of your employer and really must request and clear and immediate explanation I am astonished white a storm I thought I knew you was a calm and sensible person and now you suddenly seem to be showing off with the cure your Williams this morning your employer did suggest a possible reason for your failure to appear it's true it had do with the money that was recently addressed to you but I came near to giving him my word of Honor that that could not be the right exclamation but now that I see your incomprehensible stop I no longer feel any wish what's intercede on your behalf and your is your position all that secure I had originally intended to say all this to you in private but since you called me to waste my time here for no good reason I don't why your parents should not also learned of it nor turn over has been very unsatisfactory of lace I grant you that it's not the time of year to do especially good business we recognized first day of Sicily is no time of year no business at all mr. Sunday so we cannot allow her to people but sir called Gregor beside himself and forgetting all else in the excitement all open up immediately just a moment I'm slightly unwell an attack of dizziness I haven't been able to get up I'm still in bed now I'm quite fresh again now though I'm just getting out of bed just a moment patient it's not quite as easy as I thought final right now though it's shocking what can suddenly happen to a person I was quite alright last night my parents know about it perhaps better than me I have a small symptom of it last night already must have noticed it I don't know why I didn't let you know at work but you always think you can get over an illness without staying at home please don't make my parents suffer there's no basis for any of the accusations you're making nobody ever said a word to me about any of these things maybe you haven't read the latest contract I sent you all set off with eight trained as well these few hours of rest and given you strength you don't need to wait sir I'll be in the office soon after you and please be so good as to tell that to the boss and recommend me to him and well Gregor just out these words hardly knowing what he was saying he made his way over to the chest of drawers easily. Probably because of the practice he had already had in bed where he now tried to get himself up right he really did want to open the door really didn't want to let them see in to speak with the chief Clerk the others were being so insistent and he was curious to learn what they would say when they caught sight of him if they were shocked and it would no longer be Gregor's responsibility and he can dress however they took everything calmly he would still have no reason to be upset and if he hurried he really could be at the station for 8 the first few times he tried to climb up on the smooth chest of drawers he just slid down again but he finally gave himself one great instructor upright the lower part of his body was in serious pain but he no longer gave any attention to it now he let himself fall against the back of a nearby chair and held tightly to the edges of it with his little legs by now he had also calm down and kept quiet so that he could listen to what the chief clerk to say did you understand the word of all that the chief clerk asked his parents surely he's not trying to make fools of us call his mother who was already in tears he could be seriously ill and we're making him suffer grit grit she then cried Mother Goose call from the other side they communicated across Gregor's room you'll have to go for the doctor straight away regular is Bill quick get the doctor did you hear the way Chris Focus now not with the voice animal said the chief clerk with a calmness that was in contrast with his mother screams his father called into the kitchen through the entrance hall clapping his hands get a locksmith here now and the two girls their skirts wishing immediately ran out for the hall Richie open the front door of the flat as they went how had his sister managed to get dressed so quickly there was no sound of the door banging shut again must have left it open people often do in homes where something awful has happened regular in contrast had become much calmer so they couldn't understand his words anymore although they seem clear enough clearer than before perhaps his ears have become used to the South they didn't realize though that there was something wrong with him and we're ready to help the first response to a situation had been confident and why and that made him feel better he felt that he had been drawn back in among people and from the doctor and a locksmith he expected great and surprising achievements although he did not really distinguish one from the other whatever was said next would be crucial so in order to make his voice as clear as possible he coughed a little but taking care to do this not too loudly as even this might well sound different from the way that I feel free call and he was no longer sure he could judge this for himself meanwhile it had become very quiet in the Next Room perhaps his parents were sat at the table with spring with the chief Clerk or perhaps they were all pressed against the door in listening breaker slowly pushed his way over to the door with a chair once there he let go of it and threw himself onto the door holding himself up right against it using the adhesive on the tip is what arrested there a little while to recover from the effort involved and then set himself to the task of turning the key in the lock with his mouth he seemed unfortunately to have no property how was he been to grasp the key but the lack of teeth was of course made up worked with a very strong jaw using the jaw he really was able to start the key turning the fact that he must have been causing some kind of damage as a brown fluid came from his mouth float over the key and dripped onto the tour listen said the chief clerk in the Next Room he's turning the key record was greatly encouraged by this but they all should have been calling to him his father and his mother to well-done Kroger they should have cried keypad it keep hold of the log and with the idea that they were excitedly following his effort keep it on the key with all his strength paying no attention to the pain he was causing himself as the key turned around he turned around a lock with it only holding himself up right with his mouth and hung on to the key or pushed it down again with a whole weight of his body as needed the clear sound of the lock as it Snapback was Gregor's sign that he could break his concentration as he regained his breath so I didn't need a locksmith after all then he laid his head on the handle of a door to open it completely because he had to open the door in this way it was already wide open before he could be he had first to slowly turn himself around one of the double doors and he had to do it very carefully if he did not want to fall flat on his back before entering the room he was still occupied with this difficult movement unable to pay attention to anything else when he heard the chief clerk explain allowed which sounded like the soft now he also saw him he was the nearest to the door and pressed against his open mouth and slowly retreating as if driven by a steady and invisible force records mother her hair still to shovel from bed despite the chief clerks being there looked at his father she unfolded her arms took two steps forward towards Gregor and sink down onto the floor into her skirts that have spread themselves out around her as her head disappear down into her breast his father as if wanting to know Trevor back into his room then he looked uncertainly round the living room covered his eyes with his hand and wrap so that his powerful chest shook cities in France shut up shut up Jennifer Lopez problem I'll take you home hahaha the song yo is legal Thug Notes we straight buggin with the metamorphosis Gregor samsa full realization

This is a sample on how to deliver the final speech, and how one must be prepared as his teachers will interrupt and disrupt the speech in order to challenge him.

Here's a look at a student speech that is part of the final presentation for the group project. Anthony advocates for video games while addressing counterarguments while being supported by his fellow group members. Sebastian routinely makes sure that Anthony feels his support during the speech, and his reaction at the conclusion is magical - when you know someone else just delivered the group an A+ on a silver platter!
