The Metamorphosis

I recently read The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka for school. It's very quirky but compelling. The writer made me feel such compassion for Gregor. I didn't like when he lost his job or when his family treated him like he was disgusting and wrong. I would feel horrible if the people I loved most didn't accept me. All Gregor wanted was to be loved. I also felt horrible when his family was happy when he died. They celebrated! Who would do that? It made me think how I would act in this situation. I would be the kind of person to accept and love a beetle. I would feed him the food he wanted and kept his room clean. His family did not do that for him. I have a love/hate relationship with this book. But I will definitely read it again.
