Due Friday, January 4th - Read and Respond to "The Hunger Artist" by Franz Kafka

Directions:  Please read "The Hunger Artist" by Franz Kafka.  Next, compose a blog response where you explore the following:  This short story is an allegory.  What symbolic elements does Kafka use to describe the life of the artist?  How can you apply it to artists/art that you know (modern music, film, literature, theatre, etc).  How does Kafka's views differ from that of Wilde?  How are they similar? Further, what are your views on the "purpose" of art?  How does it impact your life?
