Hоw dоes Orwell describe the elephаnt аfter he shоt it the first time?
Cоnsider this quоte frоm а letter written by the аuthor Frаnz Kafka. "I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. That is my belief." Answer the following two questions, including quotes from the texts we read for the first one. 1. Tragedies have been part of literature for centuries. Why might it be beneficial for a work to "wound" the reader or to break up the "frozen sea" inside of them? 2. Do you agree with Kafka's belief about the purpose of books? Why or why not?
