Explanation:

Franz Kafka was a famous writer who was born in Austria-Hungary (Czech Republic) by the end of the nineteenth century and became one of the most important writers during the 20th century. In his literary works, Kafka mixes fiction with reality and usually includes themes such as guilt or anxiety related to existence. Additionally, Franz Kafka childhood and life was not easy as his parents were absent and some of his siblings die at a young age; also, the relationship with his father was never good as his father was authoritarian, this and other circumstances in Kafka life made him mainly a reserved man that  was afraid of showing vulnerability or that people thought he was somehow repulsive or inadequate and even it has been claimed by some Kafka personality might have been linked to a schizoid personality disorder that could explain Kafka later depression and isolation. Thus, Kafka feared that people thought he was weak or vulnerable and inadequate physically or mentally.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
