Metamorphosis
Transformation can be described as a change over time, however, transformation isn’t the term I would use to define my sudden “change”. My alteration wasn’t as depraved as most individuals who had gone through possibly worse, however, my adjustment was my own, meaning I didn’t know how to handle the situation around that time, nor did I know that this was going to be a turning point in my life. I can confirm that my “change” was mostly like a metamorphosis.
A metamorphosis, was my way of being able to name my current situation and transformation at the time. My situation had turned me from a young innocent child into a young adult, faster than I had wanted to. When I was a young child, I remember being able to live and have fun, as if no care in the world. Before my situation, I remember being a child who would play in her favorite playground and would live each day with such excitement and love. That was basically the life of any child, just to have fun and laugh while you can, before life hits you with hard reality. My hard reality occurred when I was a child, in elementary beginning to notice that my health was failing, forcing me to change and adapt to new conflicts and brace myself for new solutions. What I mean as to brace myself, I meant, as a kid I was very clumsy and

I knew at a young age, that I had so much to do with my life. I know that I put individuals I love in pain just by the sight of my treatment, however, after my experiences I decided to live each day without a regret, trying to catch up with all those days spent in the hospital. It may sound cliché but those experiences shaped me by teaching me lessons that were too early for even a child to learn and understand, but I am glad that I have those experiences that taught me, how to

One social transformation I went through would be a change of views on how I see the world, second would be my interest and hobbies, doing and liking things that I wouldn’t particularly thought I would even like or do.

    Emotions of negativity trail with Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, as Gregor’s body slowly transforms into a bug-like body size of a human; resulting in undesired “torture” from his family and himself. Although change isn't always followed with horrid results, it's hard to adjust to, since pain, suffrage and misunderstandings create obstacles. Discomforts of a specific situation leads to pain- state of being hurt- when something in movement is not welcomed. To feel loved is necessary in a human-being’s life; once loneliness wraps around one’s life, things begin to shift; and others surrounding one, gradually begins to be affected.

    Interactive Oral - Reflective Statement Question: How was your understanding of cultural and contextual considerations of the work developed through the interactive oral? The Interactive Oral presentations helped me further understand the deeper meaning in The Metamorphosis by taking themes from the book and going into depth of how these themes played a major role in the development of Gregor as a bug and as a person trapped in his mental illness. In articles cited during the presentations, the authors find ways of how Kafka used Gregor’s family and his transformation to relate back to Kafka himself. For instance, in one article, the author saw how Gregor’s father treated him and related that back to the relationship that Kafka and his own…

    In life there’s always that one moment which changes your perspective on everything. Some may not notice at first, however, in my case it was handed to me on a silver platter. It all started when I was in the sixth grade. I must admit it was not a big surprise, but being told that because of something I could not control I would still have to change my life kind of scared me. After many tests and several doctors visits, I soon discovered the weakness in my lungs every time I ran and the reason I had struggled to play basketball in my earlier years.…

The better their experience in early transitions the easier they will become as they get older. Professionals tend to place the transitions we experience into four different categories: EMOTIONAL - Bereavement, Losing a friend, Moving house, Into/out of care or Abuse.…
