Metamorphosis Blog Post: Life's Struggle

For your one and only blog post on Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, consider the second theme of the novella: Life's Struggle. Choose a struggle in particular that you think most people experience in life, including Gregor, to discuss and describe/explain the following aspects of the struggle...

1) How is this struggle psychological, emotional, AND physical?

2) How does Gregor experience this life struggle in some shape or form, either when he was human or now, as a cockroach?

3) How does at least one other family member (sister Grete, mother, or father) experience this same life struggle, but maybe in a different way?

4) Can someone/Gregor survive this struggle? Explain how.

Don't forget to include a QUOTE with PAGE # from the novella (copies are available on the computer lab's middle table) to help support one of your points above!

Also don't forget to leave your INITIALS in the 'Labels' section before you publish your post!

EXTRA CREDIT: Connect your life struggle to somebody's 1984 post (scroll through past blog posts) and leave a comment (w/ your initials) explaining the connection!
