The metamorphosis is considered one of the first stories written in which genre of literature

a. science fiction
b. magical realism
c. epic poetry
d. nonfiction

a.Magical realism

Explanation:

The metamorphosis is a novel that involves different themes as the absurdity of life, alienation, and satire or dark humor. We can put the novel in a very specific movement called "Modernism" in the late 19th and early 20th century. In this literary movement we can find this piece of literature in the "absurdist fiction", when we talk about "absurdist fiction" we find the main problem that Kafka uses in the metamorphosis: the study of human behavior under certain circumstances that are purposeless or absurd as we see the character of Gregor Samsa fighting with himself as he became an insect. This "absurdism" is a type of fiction and we can include this story in the gender of Magical realism because it's the closest one with the absurdist fiction. Because of this, it is not in nonfiction and not in science fiction because it is considered a novel it is not epic poetry. Finally, magical realism it's a very new concept in literature and it's more associated with Latin American literature, for this reason, but we can put Kafka's work in this genre.

Magical realism

Explanation:

Kafka's novella is also notable as a modern work of magical realism with its juxtaposition of fantastic occurrences—the guy turns into a bug—with a realistic setting.

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.
