Metamorphosis "Part two"

In my opinion the only person out of the Samsa family that benefits anyone is Gregor. He goes to work every day just to make scrap money.  He wakes up early in the morning to go to work, when he can barely get out of the bed. Not to mention he works exhausting hours and makes basically nothing, just to keep a roof over his family’s head. Even though his parents are not working and he is, they can be respectful towards him. They could thank him and be nice for a change.

Support:
When you have a family, support one another. Love each other because at the end of the day you guys are all that each other have. Look out for one another make sure everyone is safe at all times. Even though times are tough and you may fight with your family but always remember to care for one another.
Mindfulness:
Like in Gregors case. His family was not being mindful of him. Gregor would go to work and his family didn’t really care. What they actually should have been doing was saying “hey how was your day?” or “thank you Gregor for all you do.” Being mindful for what he was doing. Because all he did was work hard and all they did was sit there with blank expressions.
Family Discussions:
Use this time to come together as a family and discuss issues that need to be resolved. Weather its about school, work, or each other. Put it out there and resolve the problems. Also, use this time for good discussions. Maybe about the A+ you received on your progress report or your promotion at work.
Respectfulness:
Respect each other. Try not to fight, and look at the other siblings/spouses point of view. Try to compromise with one another. Respect yourself too. Keep yourself tidy
And love yourself.
Family Outings:
Its important to get out together. Weather its going out for dinner or seeing a movie. You need to go out together as a family. For one day it is possible to hold your personal festivities for one day and go hang out with your family, and laugh, enjoy yourself and established unbreakable bonds!
I would have to give the Samsa family a C- based on my plethora of topics. They hardly portray any of my advice. Although after Gregor died they wish they would have did what I said. It was too late.

Metamorphosis "Part One"

I think the positive aspects of Gregors metamorphosis is that

he doesn't have to work.Gregor worked his butt off to make it

happen for his family. He kinda put them on a pedestal. He

woke up early in the morning, ran to the train and went to his

job. Gregor worked tireless hours at his job.

It seemed as if his family was not very supportive on his half.

They had grew to almost expect something from him. They

just expected him to go to work and make it happen. They

were never all that thankful towards Gregor either. Gregor

struggled to make it to work everyday also. He could hardly

get up in the morning.

Metamorphosis Chapter 3

I think that Kafka changed Gregor into a dung roach because it resembles him an many ways.


Secondly i think that he changed him because he knew he needed to change in some way. I think Gregor 


also knew he needed to change somethings too. I think Kafka was wise for what he did, i mean shure it 


was bad on Gregors half, but it was time for a change. Kafka made the right choice, it might have not been 


the best end result but he had a reason behind what he did.


I think Kafka changed him into a cockaroach because thats a very low insect, and it has no purpose except 


to sit in crap all day. Also its an ugly bug. No one likes them, its not like spiders where there purpose is to 


catch flies around your home, Or a bee which makes honey. Roaches just sit in filth all day long. They are 


also very slow and creepy. It resembles Gregor when he was a Roach, Kafka did so he would not have to 


work that horrible job and pay off his parents debt too.

Of mice and men comparison: Book to Movie

I think the Of Mice and Men movie was overall, similar to the book. There were some

diffrences between the two. In the begining of the movie there was was a railroad train

that took George and Lennie to a place. In the the book there was no railroad train and

they had to walk all that way. In the movie there was a bus too. It dropped them off ten

miles from there destination. In the book there was no bus and they had to hike  that

whole ten miles . The part in the barn when Lennie killed Curleys wife, In the book it was

at night. In the movie she got killed in the daytime. They also left out the part when the

dog got killled. They just had Candy swirming around in the bed as a replacement for that

sad scene.

"Dear George"

Dear George,

I appreichiate your concerns for your friend Lennie, but i think the decision you made was a bitter/sweet decision to make.
I think that the way you used to talk to him was rude, i know you cared for him but as i quote saying things like "He is a poor bastard" is a rude comment to make.
 Now i know criticaly he is a "bastard" but i dont think that is the right thing to say to him.

When you foundout that Lennie killed Curleys wife and you heard Curly say " Im gonna shoot the guts outta that big bastard myself, even if i only got one hand.
Im gonna get em". You should have thought to yourself oh no he is about to get my longtime friend, and tryed to help him out as much as possible.
 However, i do understand that you did make the best choice you could have possibly could have in that situation.
 I think that it was very nice of you to be nice to him when you knew you were going to kill him. I love it how you said "We gonna get a little place" and " We'll have a cow, and down the flat we'll have a....little peice of alfalfa, for the rabbits, and you get to tend the rabbits.
and live on the fatta the lan."It was a very good choice to be nice to him when you knew what you were going to have to do.
 Although you did kill him for good resons it is sad that you had to endure the pain of killing him, but as i said i understand what you had to do. I commend you for that.

Of Mice and men part two

I think that Lennie is scared because of curly. I mean he basicly threatened him in a really bad way. Basicly

getting his point across that he does not like him.

Lennie is the special type and even though he is big enough to take curly down he is to mentaly challenged to

see it. Curly is very "harsh" with big people because he is a small man, so when he see's bigger people he

tends to be rude to them. Lennie said "Please dont let him sock me George" Its quite obvious that he is

scared of curly. Curly is very rude to Lennie as he said "Next time you answer when your talked to". Curly

wants to be a leader and he's not and he has a stinky attitude with Lennie. I am pretty sure Lennie is leaving

because he is scared of Curly. I feel bad for Lennie, everyone thinks bad of him. I know that George cares

about him but he sure expresses it in a rude way.

"Of Mice Of Men" Lennie and George

I think that Lennie is dependent on George because Lennie is a little slow.

Lennie is a special needs person, however he is not too mentally retarded but he is a little

sick in the mind. Lennie also seems to have a short memory and he never seems to think

straight. George is his backbone in a certain way. George always is there to remind him of

things, for example: "dont drink to much water from that river or you will be sick like you were

last time". He is like a big brother to Lennie even though he is bigger in size.

I think George keeps lennie around because he might be afraid to let him go because he

might get hurt or get in trouble. Another reason he could possibly keep him around is

because he likes him too, i think on the outside he is rude and calls him a bastard but on the

inside he really wants to protect him and keep him safe. He is definately worried about

Lennie too, he seems to always be concerned about Lennie and he is always there to help

him out in times of need too.I am pretty sure he likes his company, because he could have

droped him by now and let him go on his own. But he chooses not to because he loves him

being around. Thats why i think he keeps Lennie around.
