Bugs matter too!

 This story makes me think of success in a different way because the parents only loved the son due to his income and not the fact, he was family. This story made me also realize that money plays a huge role in success in many ways. Money causes success but it also causes trouble and chaos when people get greedy. Money makes you do stuff you regret and then once you lose it, it just gets worse. Once gained back everything is back to normal. But money also makes you rethink your original thought before you had the money. For example, in the narrative it states, "we have to try to get rid of it"(Kafka 217). The fact that Gregor's sister gave up on her brother once they were able to maintain their financial situation shows that once money comes into your life it can change your thought process. I can relate to this because my dad got me this really beat up football for Christmas when I was younger. I thought it was the best football ever until a few years later there was a more expensive one which then caused me to forget about the original. Money also plays different roles when in a larger sphere like society compared to a family. In society it is acceptable for when you rise from poverty or a hard situation you start to forget what you went through and your original morals. For families it's similar but from the fact that money can break up a family if being used wrongfully. All in all, money causes success but also agrees with whoever holds it in their possession.
