=Industrialization is in Metamorphosis?? = By: Erika Flores Block 9E

Industrialization relates to the story of "Metamorphosis" with two - of many - aspects: pollution and efficiency. Starting in the 18th century, industrialization has caused a major problem considering the terrible atmosphere, also known as pollution. The air has turned bad, thus making it hard for humans, those working in the factories, to breathe, and also causing infections in their lungs. In "Metamorphosis", the pollution is taking place in Gregor's room, where it has become very dusty, dirty, and a garbage disposal. Not only has Gregor's room been polluted with filthy trash and muck, but he himself has also been polluted in a way that he, too, collected dust on his body and is especially dirty, since he has not bathed in weeks due to his insect form. Efficiency in the Industrial Revolution was when workers of factories had an easier time producing the products they were aiming to make, by using machines that reduced the amount of workers originally needed and also reduced the amount of time used when working on it. In "Metamorphosis", Gregor is the one who made working efficient for his family, but only when he still had his job. He made working efficient for his family by not enabling his family to do work themselves. With only Gregor working, he lets his mother, father, and sister Grete do whatever they please during the day. His mother can stay at home and rest, for she is unable to do anything else like clean, but they already have a maid to clean anyway. His father can read the newspaper and his sister can practice her violin. "Metamorphosis" and industrialization both share the two aspects of pollution and efficiency, making a bond between the two of them regardless of their differing subjects of English and World History.
