Metamorphasis

Maybe its just the class but i really like this book metamorphasis.  its really open to interpretation. i'm going to assume you've read it cause there's no way i'm summarizing it for you, my unanimous reader.  well i've had a few theres that have pretty much been thrown out by the class, but i feel pretty good about them.  i feel like a wild book needs wild theories about it. I had one the first day that when he turns to a bug it is al a dream and that was pretty well received by the class and the teach even brought it up as the main point of discussion the next day.  So this encouraged me to come up with more.  I had one idea that the time that  had originally thought he was dreaming that he was really dead. explaining why the clerk runs away in horror when he see him.  Also why all the trash starts pilling up in his room.  and why he never gets any more attention from the family. i had another idea that he was an illusion to jesus.  this coming from the three men with beards that move in to the room that they rent out, saying that these three men are the three kings.  argumenting this was that the author is jewish but he was a founding member of jews for jesus.  and this could be his idea of what would happen to the coming mesia.  that he would be used untill he runs dry and then ignored when in pain.  OR MAYBE the family is judast and gregor is jesus on the cross.  man this book trips me out but i couyld go on forever.  i'm agnostic but i have this class after art history and we talk about religious stories all the time there.  

a post talking about religion soon to come.
