Plus, when comparing it to all the other doom and gloom stuff we have been reading, this one seems better. lol.<br /><br />a woman's right to shoes...it can be read pretty fast if you are ever interested. I would recommend borrowing it though over buying it. I don't think it is the kind of novella you would read more than once.<br /><br />Mira...Yeah, I don't like it when grade schools make you read stuff like this, it's so far beyond some of our comprehension, plus, it makes kids HATE to read! College is way different. This book is appropriate then.<br /><br />Patrick...Exactly! Just like I was saying before. We shouldn't have to read this stuff until at least college.<br /><br />Moana...Yes, there is more to the metamorphasis. Almost everyone in the novella goes through one. However, if bugs freak you out, this book would freak you out. :)<br /><br />Matt...No, I haven't. Is is a book?<br /><br />Ashley...Thank you!<br /><br />The Creative Muslimah...Kafka is definately very very VERY weird! Also, thanks for letting me know about your creative writing contest. I don't know if it is still going on, but I've been so busy!

I got the impression that it was all boring and weird and OLD for some reason.

Bugs freak me out! I wonder though, if his metamorphisis is symbolic of something else. Sounds like a HSC topic my son is studying on 'belonging'. I'll mention it to him, he may be able to refer to it while essay writing.

I read it again in college and it wasn't so bad, I guess it made more sense. I read it for the third time together with my students and it sort of made even more sense. Conclusion?
