As I stated in one of the discussion forums‚ Gregor might have always been an insect‚ and this occurred long before he was introduced to the reader. Is it absurdity or irony that Gregor is not showing any concern about his so-called transformation? In fact‚ everyone else within the story seems to change. His sister grows from a child to a young woman that is ready to be married. Gregor’s parents adapt and change their roles to accommodate their son’s situation. In contrast‚ Gregor’s mind remains

In response to the “Lesson in Irony” presented by the author I would have to disagree with his or her opinion. I do not think the author correctly reflects poverty in America. The author is implying that the government program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is promoting dependence on their program for people in poverty who are unable to provide meals for the families.
