The Metamorphosis

To me, the story was really random. Who would ever think of a person turning into a bug? That is a really weird thing to picture in your head. This face became a lot less random after reading the Metamorphosis for the second time. I saw a lot more of the symbolism in it. I realize that it represented changes in people. Sometimes people do change and that causes them to be treated differently. I think a couple of lessons could come out of this story. The first one is that never take what you have for grant it. The family did not realize how much Gregor contributed to the family. Once he was unable to work they knew that they needed to start picking up the slack. Another lesson could be that you should accept pepole for who they are even if they do change. The family knew that this bug was Gregor. Even though, this was their son and their brother, they treated him as if he was a bug. If physical appearance had changed but not his feelings and thoughts. They should of thought more about how Gregor felt on the inside.
