these are the three different questions. In journal and Synthesis part please use the quotes.
Here is the questions:
1. Please respond to these questions (Kafka’s story):
Holderlin: This is the tragic for us, that quietly packed in some container,
we depart from the living rather than atoning for the flame through being consumed with
flames we are incapable of taming. How does this quote concern the story? What connections can you come up with?
2. Journal part: please use quotes
Are death and madness “ends”? What do these stories say?
3. Synthesis part: please use quotes
In the Lydia Davis, we had characters and place. In Kafka’s Gracchus – is there a character, a time and a place?
What could it mean that a story loses all the elements that make it a story? How do we understand this?
