Perks of Being a Wallflower

In College lit, I am reading a book called Perks of Being a Wallflower; great book. I think it's the meaning of it, the fact that when your a teenager everything seems good in the world. Reality hasnt hit us yet. As we grow not only do we learn more but we also realize more. We arrive in a state of conscience, we may like it or we may not. It's a matter of personal strength. Can you fall into peer presure or can you beat it, and in the end are you strong enough for the down fall? I can fall into peer presure alot. I make sure that I want to do it before actually doing it but I can ralate to the charector in this book.

Reactions to Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a crazy book to me but a good crazy. The type of good that makes you not want to put it down and keep turning the pages to find out what is going to happen next. The first thing that was crazy to me was Gregor was transformed into an insect and he was so calm about it! I know that if I was an insect I would not be that calm about it and work would be the last of my worries. One thing I found interesting was that in Kafka Franz life that he was not able to bring home the bacon every night. He was not making a lof of money and was stuggling painter. I connected this to the book; When Gregor was freaking out about not being able to get to work on time and that he need to pay off his debts. In a way this is just like Kafka's life. Unable to bring home money/Unable to get to work soon leading to unable to bring home money.
