Finally Gregor went to the door and opened it. His family and I screamed. And finally Gregor kill the big bug...

He was a really disgusting bug, too. He had dozens of tiny legs waving in all directions.He left a trail of brown sticky stuff wherever he went.

This is another book that I read via Read 180. It was the first book that I, the educator, thought looked interesting. The story itself is so ridiculous!! I loved it! This really kept me engaged because the story was just so silly! (Although I'm not sure if that was the goal...) If I have students read this one, then I'll want to really prepare them for humor, etc. ... then again, I might just keep this one to myself. (And maybe read it again!)

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE BOOK? I THINK IT WAS AN INTERESTING BOOK BECAUSE HE WOKE UP IN THE MORNING HAVING A DREAM THAT HE WAS A BIG BUG, BUT IN REALITY HE WAS A BIG BUG. HE DIDNT WANT TO COME OUT OF HIS ROOM FOR WORK BECAUSE HE WAS ASHAMED OF WHAT HE THOUGHT HIS PEOPLE WOULD THINK. I LOVED THIS STROY

Based on Franz Kafka's original book: "The Metamorphosis". Great retelling of the story of Greggor and his family. What would you do if this happened to you? or What would you do if this had happened to your family member? How would you treat them?
