Metamorphsis


Metamorphsis is a very unusally story. It is basically about a man who does nothing but work to support his family. One day when he woke up he turned into a roach. His family ignored him and treated him like crap. All he could think about is going to work and doing his job. I am kinda of glad that his family finally got the idea that they had to do things for their self and stop depending on Gregor for everything. What really upsetted me was when he called his mother into his room, she fled and did not try to help him. If that was me I would have helped my child no matter what form that they were. I learned a valuable lesson through this story. I realized that i was a spoiled brat. I put myself in the place of the the family. I my mother was not able to do for me like he coul not do for his family, i would not know what to do. I learned that sometimes that i can be ungrateful and have to learn to do for myself. i think that the author just wanted to show the importance of family. i like gregor because he seemed like a person who cared for others before hisself. If that was me and i was a roach i would have freaked and would been like forget everyone else i am a nasty roach. He did not complain about him not being able to do anything for hisself. All he coud think about is not going to work and getting money to suppor t his ungratful family. Honestly if that was me and my family did not want to do anthing for themselves i would hsve left at the age of eighteen. I was able to take care of myself, when they learned to be independent then maybe i would have came back to help0 out a little bit.
