Metamorphosis
This story metamorphosis is so hard to visualize and the Author Franz Kafka's use this change to catch the readers attention. In the first sentence ''One morning, upon awakening from agitated dreams, Gregor Samsa found himself, in his bed, transformed into a monstrous vermin. (Kafka 1999).'' This story took me to a suprise to find out why is a man being transformed as a bug. But the author is getting an oppurtunity to let the readers know that anything can change in your life at any giving moment. And then Gregor said"What if I slept a little more and forgot all about this nonsense,"he thought. But his idea was impossible to carry out, for while he was accutiomed to sleeping on his right side, his current state prevented him fromgetting into that position."(Kafka 1999). This statement is to recognize that he is wondering if what he is going through is real or not changing into this monstrous vermin. Gregor is aware that the life he once live will never be the same because he was to comfortable and the situation with being this bug as got him out of his comfort zone.

I also thought this story was a great example of The way we go through change in life. I found it funny that Gregor thought he could go on to work in the condition he was in. It was like he thought mo one would notice. Gregor said, ""I'll be dressed in a minute, pack up my samples, and catch my train."" (Kafka 2007) He was planning on going on into work although he had turned into a bug. We also tend to try to cover up things in life by putting on a smile and hoping no one can see through our cover up.
