1 eating and standing up right become almost impossible

He worried that he won't be able to go to work and will get reprimanded by the chief clerk.

He acted like it was just a minor inconvenience at first when he saw his transformation

3 they panicked and tried their best to keep distance from him. His dad even tried to attack him

4 I strongly agree with how the family react. Obviously since there's a giant cockroach in my the room of my relative(possibly have eaten him or somethg)

5 They would exterminate me at the spot if that ever happened to me

After Gregor’s transformation, he cannot do any things like getting out of bed, walking, or opening the door, it became very difficult for him . Gregor stayed calm and was more worried about missing work than about how to turning back. When his family finally saw him, they were horrified and terrified. His mother screamed, fainted, and collapsed onto the floor, while his father became angry and tried to push him back into his room. I don’t agree with their reaction because it was inhumanity, and they should have tried to help him instead of being afraid. I believe my parents would act differently, they would still care for me and try to find a way to help.

Getting out of bed, speaking, eating, moving,... --> He struggles to do even the simplest tasks.
He is too consumed by his obligations that his transformation is secondary his duties as the family's provider. --> His primary worrry is missing work and unable to fufill his role as a provider.
All of them were terrified of him. His sister tries to help him at first but eventually grows resentful.
No. His transformation is disturbing, but that does not justify his family's abandonnmnet.
Despite the shock, they would try to accept me and love me love me regardless.

1. Gregor can’t do normal things like get out of bed, walk, or open doors because his bug body is hard to move.

2. He feels scared and confused but mostly worries about missing work and losing his job.

3. His family is shocked. His mother faints, his father gets angry, and his sister runs away.

4. I don’t agree with them. They should try to help him instead of being mean or scared.

5. My parents would be scared at first, but I think they would still care and try to help me.

1. First, he has to work with his new look-alike cockroach appearance. Second, he has to change his daily activities because of his new body.

2. He seemed to be a little bit confused but not worried about it that much. Instead, he worried more about his work, his boss.

3. They all shocked and terrified.

4. I agree with them because no one expect that one day, when they wake up, their relatives turn into a bug, especially cockroach. That would really terrified me at first.

I think yes, my parent's biggest enemy is cockroach, if they see me turn into one of them, perhaps they will kill me right away (j4f). But to be fair, I got treated with love by my parents when I was just a kid so I think soon they will accept my appearance and live on with my strange transformation.

1. Simple things like getting out of bed, walking, talking, or opening doors become really hard for Gregor because his insect body doesn’t move like it used to.

2. Gregor doesn’t freak out. He stays pretty calm and mainly worries about being late for work and making his boss mad.

3. His family is super scared. His mom faints, his dad cries and pushes him back into his room, and the manager runs away.

4. It’s normal for them to be scared, but it’s sad they didn’t try to help him. They should’ve shown more love and care.

5. My parents would probably be scared at first too, but once they knew it was still me, they’d try to help and take care of me.

1: getting out of bed, opening doors, speak clearly, go to work

2: reacts: calm

he worries about being late at work, thinks about his family depends on his income

3: shocks, fear,.. disgusting, feeling terrified

mother: faints

father attack him

sister: horrified

manager run away

4 no

gregor is still mentally himself . he thinks and feels like a human, they dont try to understand or comfort him; they isolate and hurt him, especially the father’s violence seems unjustified.

5 yes, my parents hate cockcroach and will instantly kill them if spot one

1.His new body is large and unwieldy, and he struggles to roll over or control his many legs.

2.When Gregor wakes up and discovers he has turned into a giant insect, he doesnt panic .Instead, he worries about being late for work

3.Gregor’s family reacts with shock, fear when they first see him after his transformation

4.the way they completely abandon and dehumanize him over time is unfair and emotionally cruel

No, my family loves me

After Gregor Samsa turn into a big bug, normal things become really hard for him. He can’t get up from bed easy and he can’t open the door good. He try to talk to his family, but they don’t understand what he say. Gregor is not too scared, he just worry about being late for work because his family need the money. When his family see him, they are very shock and scare. His father push him back to the room and his mother faint. I don’t think they should do that because Gregor still their son. If I turn into a big bug, my parents will be very shock too, but I think they still love me and try to help me.

After turning into a giant insect, Gregor Samsa finds that normal tasks are now very hard. He struggles to get out of bed because he cannot control his new body. Also, he can no longer speak properly; his voice is just a strange squeak, so his family cannot understand him. Surprisingly, Gregor is less worried about being an insect and more worried about missing his train and being late for his job. His main concern is still his duty to support his parents and pay their debt. When his family sees him, they are terrified. His mother faints, his father becomes angry and forces him back into his room with a stick, and his sister cries. While it is normal for them to be shocked, their immediate anger and lack of care for Gregor is upsetting. If this happened to me, I hope my parents would try to understand and find a doctor, but the situation would be very frightening and would test their love.

Simple things become difficult with Gregor after transformation is get out of bed and movement.
First,he calm even he afford to accept that. The largest worry is his work can be lost.
Gregor family react so scared and horrifying
His family reaction not logical. Because they were keep him away and look at him like a monster not a members of they family
I think my parent aren't. Because my parent prior my safety and my emotion than my apperance
