Metamorphosis up to page 25
These ten pages made me feel bad then good. First Gregor comes out of his room and tries to make peace but ends up terrifying everybody. Then his father shoos him away with a cane, his feet, and a rolled up newspaper. The he waits around in his room, sleeps, wakes up to find milk and white bread, hates it, loiters for hours, notices the fear and caution and silence of his family members, and then waits around some more (but this tome, under the couch). Then his sister brings him a shmorgus board of garbage and fresher foods, he loves the garbage and treats the fresher food like you would trash mixed in with your food. I'm not ready to interpret this story yet, and here's why. The plot and writing are too good, I'm too invested in the story, if I did analyze it it would be obvious and not fun, and I've never been able to ever through a book without predicting the ending based on my analysis (so why not try it now). I'm enjoying this book. It's weird, but its fun.
