Write an essay describing the Ending of Metamorphasis and things fall apart.

Essay #3 I would like you to focus on the ending of Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” and Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. Both of these endings are examples of how authors will sometimes test their readers because both authors are using a similar type of irony. This type of irony involves the author seeming like he/she is communicating one thing but in reality something quite different is being communicated (often the opposite of what seems to be communicated). So if readers are just breezing along and not paying close attention, they will take the superficial message and assume that’s all there is. Such readers have been sucked in, and the author smiles and says, “You really didn’t get this story at all, did you.” You see, the ending is not just a test of how the reader has read the ending, it’s actually a test of how the reader has read the entire story.For example, the ending of “Metamorphosis” looks like a happy ending, a standard finish for most narratives. All the things happening to the family appear to be wonderful. Note how the sister stands up and shows her new, mature body just like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. Isn’t that sweet–okay, you just got sucked it, so think again and consider the ending more carefully in relationship to what has happened in the story.Or in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, we have a jump to the outsider, an important white man called the Commissioner; he’s not only a public servant, he’s also an author who is writing a book about his experiences. He thinks about how he will include Okonkwo’s death in his book. This again looks like a standard narrative technique. It’s like watching a movie about a small town and when the movie is ending, the camera lifts into the air and pulls back further and further until it gives us a long shot of the entire town. It’s like we’re saying goodbye as we put the s in story perspective. Note the similar technique in Hamlet as an outside, Fortinbras, comes in as a conqueror, looks over the pile of bodies, and chooses to say something nice about Hamlet (kind of silly but then Shakespeare has killed off almost everyone else). So is the Commissioner putting things in perspective for us?–only if the reader is not paying close attention and misses the point of not only the ending but of the entire story.So I want you to write about what is really going on in these endings. I’m telling you that whatever is going on is more complicated than the most superficial reader is aware of. To be a better reader, we have to think about the ending and maybe apply that Tennessee expression: “That just ain’t right.” So your job is to compare the two endings and help a reader see more deeply into the implication of what seems to be a happy ending and what seems to be putting the action in perspective (provide a more objective point of view).Like your previous essay, this essay should be at least 1000 words. I would rather you just used the two primary sources and do the thinking on your own. But if you’re uncomfortable doing that, you can use a secondary sources. However, if you don’t give proper credit to your secondary source (need a “Works Cited” page), I will fail your paper. Please proofread your paper carefully to catch as many mechanical errors as possible. Good luck!
