Read the following excerpt from Chapter 2 of "The Metamorphosis." Which details describe Gregor's growing com-
fort in and knowledge of his new body? Why does the author
provide these details?

Respond in at least 3-5 sentences.
"He found it difficult to bear lying quietly during the night, and
soon eating no longer gave him the slightest pleasure. So for di-
version, he acquired the habit of crawling back and forth across
the walls and ceiling. He was especially fond of hanging from the
ceiling. The experience was quite different from lying on the
floor. It was easier to breathe, a slight vibration went through his
body, and in the midst of the almost happy amusement which
Gregor found up there, it could happen that, to his own surprise,
he let go and hit the floor. However, now he naturally controlled
his body quite differently, and he did not injure himself in such a
great fall."
