"I believe Sylvia Plath effectively employs poetic devices like simile and metaphor in 'The Child' to bring out the contrast between an adult's world and a child's world." Why is this, a weak thesis statement for an interpretive essay?

A.
It includes the use of first person.

B.
It is a factual statement.

C.
It focuses on more than one main point.

the correct answer is: reveal gregor as an untidy individual.

in metamorphosis by franz kafka, gregor samsa is the main character, who one day wakes up as a bug, and the attitude he takes upon his transformation forces him to go deeper on his existence and the new features of his body.

in this excerpt the writer mentions a table full of collection textile samples, which gives us a hint about gregor being messy. later on the book we discover how he is a really untidy individual.
