As some of us have felt a sense of loneliness or isolation from our contemporary world, it makes perfect sense why many of you have had strong reactions to the loss of Gregor, the sudden hostility of Grete, and the cyclical nature of the next metamorphosis. Listening to "Crash and Burn" this morning - on a loop - seemed apropos for our topic and the general malaise that seems to occur this time of year with less light and more stress.
However, we are not vermin, we are not encased in a dirty room, we do not have apples lodged in our backs! We have an assignment to do: to take 10 quotes from The Metamorphosis and construct Kafka's words in poetic form. This is due Thursday, so make sure to have your work ready for show and tell.

Oh, we did have a vocab quiz at the start of the hour. If absent, you will need to make this up by the end of the week.
