For English III Honors, over Thanksgiving break you are to read Kafka's The Metamorphosis. If you click on the title of the novella, or here, it will take you to an online version of the text. Also, click this link to access a Pdf version of the story. If you are feeling old-fashioned you could also check a copy out of the library or just head over to your local book store. It should not take you long to get through the book, but you may run into problems with the allegory itself.
Before, during, or after reading you will want to explore the concept of Existentialism. Stanford University has a plethora of information that will probably make you dizzy, but the web site All About Philosophy has a truncated version you may like better. Feel free to also do your own search as well.
After break we will discuss the novel and the writing assignment to go along with your reading.
