Language:
The word choices make reading this piece seamless. the writing style puts you in the time in a whimsical way.

Argument:
When describing the act of a hunger artist there is an obvious pride in the tone but when he got to the point where he was discussing his leaving of the box there was a clear sense of disdain. Explaining the seemingly sudden fall from popularity Kafka used a very blunt tone. Talk of the circus was depressing in its shear disappointment for the hunger artist. You feel literal pain for the poor man who only wants what he once had back.

Structure:
Never giving the actual name of the hunger artist shows just how little people actually knew of these traveling performers. Their job was to entertain their personal health of Psyche be damned.

You:
The hunger artist is extremely proud of his act and at the beginning be gets the praise he so desperately seeks but by the end he is unappreciated for something he worked incredibly hard for. Everyone at one point or another has felt unappreciated.
