Poetic Metamorphosis

This was by far my least favorite assignment. 

After reading the metamorphosis I decided it reminded me of my brother. Growing up he was always a trouble maker, by the end of high school he spent all of his time in his room and didn't really come out ever, he was extremely depressed and while he has recovered and is perfectly fine now I still think of him in that way.

If anyone were to turn into a bug it would be him. And he did, metaphorically speaking. The story of the metamorphosis which tells us of a person who transforms into a bug is really a metaphor, the name refers both to a metamorphosis into a bug and to the fact that this story is actually a metaphor. Kafka is actually speaking about a person who changes into something else, perhaps due to alcoholism, depression, disease or a whole host of other things which can severely change a persons life. 

When I made the bed I chose the colors based on the colors in my brothers room. His room is almost entirely blue but I added the orange and purple to represent the love of my family and how much we helped him through such a difficult time. 

My younger sisters favorite color is purple, she and my brother are extremely close, she was a great help to him and will always be a huge influence and help in his life. My older sister and I love orange and orange was the color of the walls in my living room when we first moved into our house, the living room is a place where the whole family gets together and it is certainly filled with love and happiness.

When I made the bug I wanted it to be green because my brothers favorite stuffed animal was green. I decided green is also a color associated with bugs. Since in the story the bug was never described in great detail I decided to make the bug look like what i think of as a generic bug, the image that comes to my mind when I hear the word bug, a very nondescript 6 legged small green bug.
