Summary Metamorphosis

The book it's very interesting and curious, all the finals were unexpected and very tragic. We also learned about the literature of United Kingdom and we meet new authors.

THE JUDGE'S HOUSE: We think that the story shows why it is important to learn about where are you going to live, it could widen your knowledge and also save you from a tragic destiny.

THE MONKEY'S PAW: For us this story was very enjoyable because the paw had a very dangerous spell on it. We think it'll be very dangerous if that paw really existed.

THE METAMORPHOSIS: This story was very ficticiuos and we were surprised that to be transformated into a crockrach could be true. We didn't belived the final.
