The essay presents the author’s own journey with illness as an inner transformational process that is positive in nature. Through his metaphorical, “Kafka’s House,” Kriegel creates a symbol of refuge where illness succumbs to the power within to adapt and overcome. As you read, consider this question: for those who have not read any works by Franz Kafka, can the reader connect to the metaphorical “ Kafka’s House?”

In 250 words or more, argue whether in your view, Kriegel was or was not successful in creating a powerful metaphor. Highlight your response by including short quotes from the text to show us where the point is made or where the point is missed. (Remember to create in-text citations in APA format and include a reference at the end of the post.)
