It is sad, isn't it? But it's also a very moving story. I guess many people could find different sorts of meaning from this story.Mark Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191881042368314958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-13311871032256264312010-06-17T07:15:43.535-07:002010-06-17T07:15:43.535-07:00Oh, and I noticed something weird in your blogroll...Oh, and I noticed something weird in your blogroll.

It sounds like it would totally enthrall me and I am going to be looking for a chance to read this as soon as I can. It does indeed sound frightening and sad, but it also sounds like it's richly imaginative and interesting.

I see the book as a metaphor for his position in the family. He wakes up as a bug, but in reality, he wakes up and suddenly realizes his worth, or lack of worth, in his family. He's always been a good worker, but on the one day he's "off," both his job and family reject him. I could go on, but I'll stop now. Lots of college analysis on this one. :D<br /><br />ps - my sister is deathly afraid of roaches, too. We grew up in South Carolina and later San Antonio, and both are horrible for roaches.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-30142459969310856802010-06-09T17:54:18.922-07:002010-06-09T17:54:18.922-07:00I read this one in college and HATED it.

But seriously, although I know it has underlying themes and such...it was one of those "required reads" that I was just not a fan of. It was interesting reading your thoughts on it though as I had forgotten all about this book :) Thanks for sharing.samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-88675886984784408072010-06-09T17:50:47.328-07:002010-06-09T17:50:47.328-07:00I never read this book, but wanted to.
