Xenomorph is sadistic, Morph (male persona) being more so than Xeno (female persona). The most sadistic characteristic that Xenomorph has, is the thrill of prolonging the death of it 's prey. Xenomorph enjoys torturing it 's prey, driving them wild with fear before finally attacking. Preferred method is to impale the prey with the tail, which is strong enough to lift a young foal or small equine, lift up the victim and deliver a "HeadBite". This method takes the longest to kill the prey and is very terrifying for the victim. Xenomorph will eat most if not all of it 's prey, typically leaving nothing to waste, not even bone. However, when killing for sport, sometimes after the prey finally expires, Xenomorph will continue to play with the remains, …show more content…
This ties in with loyalty, as Xenomorph will risk it 's life for whomever it serves. If that person is good, bad...doesn 't matter. Despite that fact, it is not easy to gain such loyalty, as Xenomorph must bond with it 's "queen" which can be male or female. The bond can be broken if the "queen" does something to break Xenomorph 's trust; harming an ally, killing something of value to Xenomorph, betraying Xenomorph in general. This can result is extreme violence from Xenomorph toward the said "queen", and Xenomorph will then search for a new queen. Xenomorph does not pick favorites on a whim, it takes a lot for something to gain value for Xenomorph.
Xeno, the female persona, is much kinder that her male counterpart. Xeno is the side that nurtures the wounded members of her hive (herdmembers that follow the "queen"). She will tend to children, because they are important when it comes to strengthening the hive. This persona is the most talkative, tending to befriend others and make casual conversation. More "thinky", calculative, and

The creature that had helped to conceive Xenomorph was bound to a queen, much like bees, ants or termites; but there was no such existing queen for Xenomorph to bond to. Alone, Xenomorph wandered, sticking to the shadows and preferring to travel under darkness. It didn 't take long for it to learn how to use its tail as a weapon, learn of it 's speed and other abilities. It perfected them easily and became an excellent predator. Anything it could catch was fair game. When Xenomorph first encountered an equine, it was quite an experience. Xenomorph was completely feral and violent. Attacking immediately and without warning. The equine was much larger and was old enough to handle itself against the still young Xenomorph. It quickly put the inexperienced youth in it 's place. This beast was just as vicious, it 's body mutated and deadly. Xenomorph was intrigued and when the beast turned away, Xenomorph followed like a puppy, a second shadow. The brute was not approving at first, and tried many times to run Xenomorph off, chasing after him with jaws agape, fangs glistening. Xenomorph was much too agile and fast to be caught and would skitter away, only to return a few moments later. Soon the brute grew accustomed to Xenomorph 's presence and began to teach Xenomorph how to thrive. Thus far, Xenomorph had just been surviving, this brute wanted to make something of Xenomorph; to take was was
In The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, the style enhances the nightmarish quality of the work. Franz wrote in section one paragraph one “He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.” Franz describes the changes to Gregor’s body so well that you can picture a large vermin squirming around on a bed. Franz also wrote “There was no sound of the door banging shut again; they must have left it open; people often do in homes where something awful has happened.”

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is the story of Gregor Samsa, his turning into a bug, and his ultimate death. In the beginning of the novel Gregor wakes up as a bug and struggles to become used to his new body. Gregor is locked in his room and late for work; he is the only one who works in his family, so it is important that he shows up and earns money to pay off his parents debts. His office manager shows up wondering where he has been and everyone is shocked to see Gregor’s transformation when he finally makes his way out of his room. Upon seeing him, his father shoves him forcefully back into the room, scraping Gregor’s back. Grete, Gregor’s sister, is his primary caretaker throughout the book and she makes certain he is receiving the food he wants and is the only one to clean his room for him. Gregor’s mother and father do not pay much attention to him at all throughout the book. The mother occasionally checks on him, but can barely stand the sight of him. Eventually, Grete starts working and stops taking care of him too, leaving Gregor all by himself. Betrayal is evident in The Metamorphosis and contributes to
This was the first session for Lucy with her social worker, where Jackie’s objective was to do her job by completing the paper work by questioning Lucy, but her aim was to obtain much information as possible from Lucy and whether or not the interaction with Vicky and Jackie was a positive or negative outcome for Lucy only further analysis can determine this.
The story The Metamorphosis revolves around Gregor Samsa, a devoted son and brother who works tirelessly to provide for his family, waking up finding out that he has been transformed into a larger than life insect. Franz Kafka enlightens the readers to how being dependent on one person can lead a family to being weak when that support system is ripped away from them. The situations that Gregor is put into knocks him down from the head of the family into nothingness while at the same time boosts his family from that nothingness into being a strong support system for each other. Gregor 's transformation, his dependency on his sister for food, his injury, the family choosing strangers over him, and ultimately his death are all things that lead to this downfall, or metamorphosis.
Grande introduces to the audience various characters that cross Juana 's path to either alter or assist her on her journey to find her father. Through those individuals, Grande offers a strong comparison of female characters who follow the norms, versus those that challenge gender roles that
Both characters are made intentionally to fail to become the archetypes of their genders. However, these two characters portray the inner mentality of all people; that we, regardless of sex, all possess some kind of trait that distinguishes ourselves from others. In other words, no one can truly reach absolute femininity or masculinity; we will always acquire at least one characteristic that traditionally associates itself with the opposite
“Love is whatever you can still betray. Betrayal can only happen if you love.” John le Carr. The novel Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka is a story about the transformation of a man named Gregor who turned into a bug. The story takes place inside an apartment and describes the struggles Gregor goes through with his life and family. Throughout the entirety of the writing he is met with different challenges and obstacles. Grete, his sister and his parents have a unique bond that is not always the strongest. Gregor has not been close with his parents for awhile, but Grete especially at the beginning was the only person who truly cared about his predicament. This conflict results in the desertion of Gregor and the downfall of the family. These negatives compound, causing the his suicide. The Metamorphosis portrays how the betrayal of Gregor and Grete by their parents, and Gregor by his sister, leads to the demise of the family.
As a Mexican woman myself, I understand the expectations and representation many assume us to be. We grow up in households that breed us into becoming good housewives and mothers who can multitask. Our main roles models are the women who hand these traits down generation after generation. In Castellanos “Once Again for Sor Juana”, there are three main archetypes protruding to depict Mexican description of femininity. Two of the three go well hand in hand, as the other falls into the category, yet signifies something greater. Each of the three women represented the women in Mexico and the absence of a voice. Each of them representing a symbol and influence.
The story of The Metamorphosis starts out simply, with a human waking up no longer human, but rather like a giant bug. This existential novella is filled with absurdity, as well as betrayal. When Gregor Samsa, the main character, wakes up one day as a bug, his first priority is getting to his job, in order to make money to support his family. But as the story goes on, he is betrayed by the family he loves so much, but worse, he betrays who he is as a person. Betrayal in the novella The Metamorphosis contributes to the overall message of the story that anyone will betray you, regardless of whether they are family, enemies, or even yourself, through showing the actions of Gregor’s father towards Gregor, Grete’s actions against Gregor, and Gregor’s own actions against himself and his family.

... drives. There are boys in the mountain villages of the Dominican Republic that lack testosterone and “are usually raised as ‘conditional’ girls” (681). Once these boys reach puberty, “the family shifts the child over from daughter to son. The dresses are thrown out. He begins to wear male clothes and starts dating girls” (681). These boys, also known as “guevedoces,” show biological features that produce in later stages of life rather than birth which determines gender role. My female cousin, who was raised by a single father, grew up acting and playing like a boy. She was very aggressive when she was younger but as she grew older, society and human nature has changed her. She is not only influenced by our culture to act in a feminine, lady-like way, but she is now an adult that wants to have a family and become a mother in order to produce off-springs and survive.
The first line of the Metamorphosis, which describes Gregor Samsa’s transformation into some sort of vermin, essentially sets the dark, satirical tone throughout the story. Gregor wakes up transformed into a cockroach, and for some reason instead of being worried and concerned about his transformation, he worries about other irrelevant things, such as his job and his family’s financial situation. Gregor’s transformation not only impacted him, but also his family because eventually they would not be able to continue in life without the financial support that Gregor provided for them. Throughout this part of the story we learn more about Gregor’s human life, and how he felt so consumed by his job that he had become alienated from his family, and pretty much all humans. Gregor’s sudden and unexplained transformation gives the story a fantasy-like tone that is quite extraordinary and can be interpreted in many ways.
The Apostle Paul said, “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” As a follower of Christ, how do I transform my mind? What does the process look like? Is it a one-time experience or a lifetime process? If we were honest with ourselves, most of us would agree that it’s a lifetime process. The challenge lies in how do we “transform” our minds? The Cambridge dictionary defines the “transform” as “to change completely the appearance of character of something or someone, especially so that that thing or person is improved.” The Greek word for “transform” is “metamorphoō” which comes from two words “meta” meaning “change” and “morphe” meaning “form.” Otherwise, it means “to change into another form.”
Imagine a person waking up as a bug and having their employer and family more upset about how the transformation is going to affect them, rather than making sure the person is alright. In the book The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, Gregor Samsa was treated with this kind of disrespect after his own transformation . Gregor had many circumstances in his life that dehumanized him even before he turned into a “gargantuan pest” (Kafka 13). Gregor’s metamorphosis ,although straining on the family, created many positives for the overall well being of their characters. Before his metamorphosis, Gregor’s work, relationships and family all dehumanized him, and through his metamorphosis he positively impacted the lives of his father,mother and sister.
