I Did not picture from the graphic novel is not at all what i came up with my imagination. I imagined Gregor as an 8 legged insect type creature with a big fat body of a bug, but a head of a human. Greggor's face in the graphic novel kind of looks like a cricket rather than the human face i imagined. The Black and white imagery really illustrates the hopeless the Family especially the sister has for Gregor's transformation.
2. Kafka's description of the family on how lazy they are, forces the reader to sympathize with Gregor. Kafka uses words such as "Sluggish" to describe the father and to lazy to make it across the room in describing the mother. Kafka even has the vermin looking member of the family who was the one making money for the family before! How can we not sympathize with Gregor who was the ONLY one making money in the family and now he is a VERMIN!!

Discussion thing
Yesterday's class was a pretty interesting process in how we built on a good discussion without the help of a teacher. It was similar to a snowball effect in where the idea got bigger and bigger the more it bounced off each other. I enjoyed talking about the possibility of waking up as a Vernin. I asked the question yesterday would "your outlook on life change" as everyone aggressively answered of course, i interlay disagreed with them. If i were to wake up as a monstrous bug my outlook on life wouldn't change. I would make the most of everything I have and live each day to the fullest. I would take advantages of some of my differences and have fun with it. I would learn to love myself for it, I would learn to make money off it for helping my family, and lastly i would learn to make the world a better place because of it.
