Make their points
Hello everybody.
I am reading Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
At this point they became really somewhat irritated, al-
though one no longer knew whether that was because of the
father’s behaviour or because of knowledge they had just ac-
quired that they had had, without knowing it, a neighbour
like Gregor. They demanded explanations from his father,
raised their arms to make their points, tugged agitatedly
at their beards, and moved back towards their room quite
slowly.
I don't know what make their points means in the above. Does it mean they point to Gregor?
And what about tug at their bestds? Does it mean pulling beards?
Thanks ??
