Assignment 2:Genki Hamaya

  In this class, I have learned a human is similar to a cockroach. I think that I'm also similar to a cockroach, and my family is too. There are three reasons in my opinion.

  The first reason is that I have hated my family several times, and my family also has hated me. Of course, the majority of peaple hate a cockroach. My family has not always good relationship with each other.

  The second reason is that both my family and a cockroach are familiar. A cockroach can often be seen in house. Of course, members of family usually live in same house.

  The third reason is that it is not difficult to kill both human and cockroach. Peaple must not kill other peaple, but it is easy to stop human's heart because peaple only have to cut meats with a knife like cooking.

  Consequently, I think that the story of The Metamorphosis is not strange because human is similar to cockroach. It is only that human's characteristic is clear.

  However, difference between human and cockroach is very important. When I was junior high school student, my grandmother died. Then, I felt very sad, but I felt relieved too. This experience is similar to the end of The Metamorphosis, but there is one difference. It is that there is love or not. Peaple can have love for other peaple, so when a love person died, peaple could feel sad. Therefore I think Gregor may have become a cockroach because his love for his family is not clear in that story.
