Alarming!

For the college lit journal where we had to pick one word from chapter one, I picked the word alarm. The word alarm describes the first chapter of this book, because the alarm wakes Gregor up in the morning. He goes back to sleep and ends up being late for work, he feels a little funny.

His boss gets extremely mad and goes to his house demanding an explination. Now this seems strange for a boss to do but Gregor is never sick nor late. Gregor is worried that he may lose his job and his family will have no way to be supported.

Gregor finally open up the door for his family and boss they are ALARMED to find that Gregor is a giant beetle! This is why alarmed is a great word to describe the first chapter of metamorphosis.
