The line from The Metamorphosis shows us that although Gregor has changed into an insect, he still has human thoughts and emotions. He can still think and feel like a human and appreciate the finer things in life, such as music, which would presumably be lost to him if he were solely an animal, especially an insect. So the line shows that although he has physically changed, mentally and emotionally he’s still a human.
Gregor’s role as a son and brother also undergoes a transformation along with his physical transformation. Prior to his transformation, his entire family is dependent on him and his job. However, after his transformation, he becomes dependent on other members of his family for his sustenance and survival. For example, in the initial days after his transformation, Grete feeds him, and he comes to depend on her for nourishment.
Gregor struggles with a number of identity issues in his new form. Although he has been transformed into an insect, he still has human feelings and sensations. However, being an insect, he cannot find a suitable outlet to express his feelings and emotions. The few instances in which he tries to reach out to other people or experience pleasure, as when he wants to hear Grete play the violin, he’s vehemently dismissed because of his repulsive form.
There's m,any theories as to what the seven rooms symbolize but here are two popular ones. The rooms symbolize the seven stages of life from birth to death or that the rooms symbolize the seven levels of Hell. Take your pick, you can probably argue better for the first one, though.

- Escape conditioning; avoidance conditioning.
Explanation:
Escape conditioning is described as the kind of conditioning in which a subject tends to display a behavior that helps him/her escape an aversive stimulus. While 'avoidance conditioning' is associated with the teaching of a specific behavior to a subject in order to avoid an unpleasant, scary, or painful stimulus.

The controversy that surrounds the novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is particularly due to the fact that schools and libraries across the US have been drawn into debates about censorship context included int the novel , the regional dialects and the stereotypes of African American lives shown in the novel. Mark Twain included words in this novel, that has been previously noted as offensive, to properly pro tray the southern lifestyle and these words included have therefore helped to cause the controversy over it. These terms, if not understood as an element of realism, can be inappropriate or disturbing for young readers to have read. Characters in the novel also follow stereotypes of the African American lifestyle that can be seen as an insult if the reader doesn't understand the author's intention of displaying those stereotypes. Twain uses satire in the novel to show the social injustices of the 1900's and if the reader doesn't understand the intentions of the author by including it, it can be seen as highly offensive, and inappropriate, causing a spark of controversy.
