I think the authour by writing in the story that gregor turned into a bug was trying to explain that his dreams had meanings and the reason he is a bug because that is how Gregor felt in real life. He felt used by his own family. He felt scared to stand up to his boss. The only reason he kept working there was to pay off his dad's debt and when he was a bug he found out that his dad had enough money to pay off the debt. The dad never told him and he felt used in so many ways. He wanted to send the sister away to study music and after he turned into a bug they were supportive at the beginig and then they turned on him and started ignoring him and let him to die.
I think the author chose a bug because that is how he thouoght the caracter felt and he was kind of crazy. He might of related him self to the caracter. The authour had a lot of tragedy and his sories were never fairy tales the worst thing you can transform to is a bug and it is a tragedy.

Harrison Bergeron Political Cartoon
This is my drawing for the Harrison Bergeron story. The government is taking control of people's lives. The people are not happy, they feel sad because they have no freedom at all. In this picture I am trying to tell you that the government has power over everyone and they control everybody. The government is winding people up and that is how they control them. It is similar to what happened in the story Diana treated everybody unfairly. The people had to be average and nobody could out do anybody or they would be killed.

"The Metamorphosis" Chapter 2
Before he became a insect he had support from his family. They all have respect each other while he is human. They love each other very much. Except the dad because when Gregor turns into a bug the dad wants to kill him. They hurt each other a lot after Gregor turns into a monstrous bug. The dad stops loving, respecting, caring, for his own son Gregor. The mom does not mean to hurt Gregor but she is not used to seeing Gregor like that so she faints and Gregor does not like seeing his mom like that. The sister stays supportive all the the time.
1. Caring
2. Being there in the good and bad times
3. Love
4. Respect
5. Supporting
I give the Samsa family a C cause they did all the rules except one which is Being there in the good and the bad times. The dad wants to kill Gregor and that is not loving or caring at all. They don't have respect for each other anymore the only one who has been the most supportive has been the sister this is why I grade them at a C level.
"The Metamorphosis" Chapter 1
I think that he felt dehumanized before he changed into a insect because he had no life it was just work and home no girlfriends no nothing. His boss did not treat him well he already felt like a animal. He was stressed and worried about helping his family out. His family depended on him. He was the one who brought the money he probably felt like a dog.
He felt anxious and having strange nightmares about becoming a bug that when he woke up he though he was dreaming.I guess that he might have been mistreated in many ways for him to feel dehumanized. He needs to go out and have fun but he did not so that is why he felt dehumanized.

Of mice and men compared
Watching the movie today was cool. The directors got almost everything accurate but they cut some things out and edited some things The beginning started with what Lennie did at Weed and how they were running away before they could catch them. In the book it was different they started with a journey we did not know they were running from something until later and way later was the reason why they ran. They also cut the part were they kill candy's dog we only heard the shot being fired. The last difference was that the whole killing Lennie part was so different from the book. He killed Lennie from afar nobody came and saw. There was no slim taking George for drinks. Lennie got on a train and left the ranch. He had flashbacks with Lennie and he seemed very sad about what he did.

Dear George
Dear George,
I agree it was better for you to kill Lennie. It was better if you killed him because you knew he would be in a better place. I know you were trying to save your friend because Curley or Carlson were going to shoot Lennie and they did not care about him they just wanted him dead for killing Curley's wife. I know it was an accident but she had it coming with all the flirting.
George killed Lennie the best way he could. He was gentle and the last memory Lennie had was really happy because George did not yell at him. George did not want to kill him but he had no choice the guys were coming. When george heard them coming he shot Lennie that was his cue. Slim was vey understanding he knew what really had happened. Then he took George out for a drink. I think you did the right thing.

Of Mice and men part 2
I think that Lennie does not like this place because he is very afraid to get into trouble. I also think that he is scared about what would George do to him if he got in trouble again. He is afraid to get in trouble with the bosses's son Curley. He thinks that Curley Wife is pretty. When Curley wife went into the bunkhouse she was very flirtatious with the guys and Lennie could not take his eyes away from her. After she left George said "Well, you keep away from her, 'cause she's a rattrap if I ever seen one. You let Curley take the trap. He let himself in for it. Glove full vasaline." In one part of the text Lennie says "It's mean here". I think that Lennie has a weird vive about this ranch. He does not feel very comfortable with those type of people.
