In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" Kafka introduces the character Gregor Samsa to us. In the beginning of the book he is transformed into a bug. Gregor is the main provider in his family, even though everyone else in his family is allowed to have a job. Then we meet Gregor’s sister, Grete. Gregor’s transformation was a physical change and is obvious to anyone who looked at him and Grete’s change was more of an internal change.
Gregor is overly obsessed with his job as a traveling salesmen. He doesn’t do anything except work, he lives at home and there is no chance that he has a life outside of his parent’s house. He has no friends or any type of relationship with anyone.
We figure out that Grete is around the ago of 17. Grete ends up getting a job and doesn’t seem to care about Gregor anymore and she doesn’t take care of him. She is too consumed with a job that she has just gotten and now Gregor is just a bother to her. The whole Samsa family now has jobs because Gregor couldn’t support the family anymore, and they cannot take care of the bug Gregor.
Gregor always loved Grete's playing the violin and now she plays it more and she doesn’t listen or talk to him anymore because she seems to be embarrassed by him. Gregor thinks she is amazing at the violin and she should go to a conservative to play and become even better.

1st off, never screw the author's name up(Franz Kafka).The 11th Commandment says "Thou shalt not say I,you,we,us or other pronouns...." Thesis is unclear to me and there's no real talk about the actual metamorphosis,change, Grete goes through if that's who your comparing Gregor's metamorphosis to.Your paper sounds more like your paraphrasing, not analyzing.In the last paragraph you say "she" a lot, use the name of the person your talking about, even though we may know its Grete, that takes points off. On the AP Rubric scale I give you a 3-4
11) Thou shalt not say I, you, we, us, or other pronouns referring to the reader or yourself.
-needs to include the message and how their views contribute to the message in the thesis.
-he isnt obessed, he is stuck with his job.
1) Thou shalt avoid excessive plot summary.
What does this have to do with views of themselves, others and the world?
Who's "her"? (Last Paragrah)
-Totally off topic
-No conclusion
-Spelling error: 3rd Parapgraph
-1st Parapgraph: "allowed" isnt the best word. The parents were just to lazy and Grete was young.
-Use "the reader" or "one" if you want to refer to yourself
Overall Score: 1
