Franz Kafka did the best when it came to combining a book to his person life. The real tie in in this story is that change can show a persons true colors. Gregor Samsa's life changed drastically when he wakes up one morning no longer a human being. Instead, he is a life size bug. Gregor's family begin to neglect him once they realize he isn't who he used to be.

Kafka can teach the world about fathers and sons that you can always try your hardest to impress someone but sometimes your best, is not good enough. No matter who you come across in
