Metamorphosis - Part 2

I thought that the Greg's metamorphosis was just a dream or something like that. How can a family do nothing about his transformation?

Sorry, this time I forgot to take a picture inside the bus :(

I really don't know in which year the book happens, but the family was afraid of his transformation and they didn't nothing about. Where's the scientists? Where's the doctors? Police? There's a human-size insect inside their house and they just pretend that Greg will be back. I suspect that this isn't the point of this book, I know there's more. I think that the point of this book is the family bound around the main character. The way Greg thinks and speaks with himself about how much he wants to work and make his family stable again, how his sister is helping him in someway, how lucid he is, even being a giant insect, is probably the message that Franz Kafka wants to leave.

I already read 66% of the book and the final of the last chapter, Greg's father hit he with apples and Greg is with apple attached to him.

My 2018 Book List

In December of 2016 I bought an Amazon Kindle. It was great because I could read a bunch of books (some heavy ones) without have to carry them. However, in 2017 I read some books by random choice. I didn't have any goal on mind, I was just picking some books by friends recommendations and read them. This year I choose some books with a goal in mind! My 2018 Book List A book from each continent : North America: Boston: A Gentleman in Moscow - Amor Towles South America: Brazil: Água Viva - Clarice Lispector Asia: Israel: Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harari Europe: Germany: The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka Africa: South Africa: Disgrace - John Maxwell Coetzee Oceania: New Zealand: The Luminaries - Eleanor Catton Books to pimp my mind (finan, math, biology, phisics, etc) : Investimentos Inteligentes - Gustavo Cerbasi The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives - Leonard Mlodinow The Universe in a Nutshell - Stephen Hawki...

I, Robot

I'm not writing about the movie. Yes, there's a book and this is another post of Asimov's book recommendation. This was one of the books that I bought randomly in a book sale. I saw the title and thought, why not? I've never watched the movie but I know that the book is different and the movie just uses the concepts of Asimov's Robot Laws . I, Robot is a book with a collection of short stories (that are connected) about robots and human relationship. What makes the book different of another sci-fi robot genre, is the defined concept of machine behavior. The Robot Laws or the Three Laws of Robotics or Asimov's Laws is a set of laws that define how a robot must behave. The three laws are: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such pro...

Books or Audio books? Both.

If you're following me, you know that this blog is a way that I'm using to improve my English writing skills. This was the fun way that I found to study a language and not get boring doing it. But, I need to improve the other skills, listening and speaking. Today, I'll write about a method to improve your listening skills. Mostly of the people say that read a book and listen to a podcast are a great way to improve your listening skills. They are right. However, generally podcasts are a casual conversation, the people that record it doesn't think about pronunciation, they've a limited vocabulary (as I do) and sometimes the accent isn't easy to understand. I know that are proper podcasts for English students, but IMO they aren't funny or even interesting. It was for those reasons that I tried to find something that I could combine read and listen in a fun way. This year I discovered the Audio books, I already know that they existed but it never interest...
