The narrative style of this new book is completely different from that of "Alive," and this difference becomes more and more evident as Wang Lijian slowly reads it.

The narrative style of "Alive" is very concise, and the simple narration has a special charm, which can effectively focus the narrator's attention and make the reader not lose his way because of too many descriptions.

So, "Alive" is like a blank sheet of paper, when it wants to show people the black dots on it, it just dots a little black, not a lot of black.

But this "Metamorphosis" is completely different, although the language in it is not ornate, it feels very obscure, and it may break when you read it, and it is not very fluent.

This shift in narrative style can be a good thing or a failure, and Wang Lijian does not dare to assert it.

And at this time, he couldn't really care about the narrative style, because the beginning of the book felt very new to him.

The main character, Gregor, wakes up and finds himself transformed into a giant beetle.

An absurd start, after the protagonist turns into a beetle, the reaction is not very exaggerated, but the first thought: What happened to me?

Then it turned out to be a series of broken thoughts, thinking about how his life was running around and tiring, having no friends, colleagues were general friends, and even sometimes misunderstood him, and how mean the boss was.

In the face of such a huge change, you can still think about these things. Wang Lijian felt strange, and then smiled, the beginning was absurd, and it was not so strange that the protagonist would think so.

Then Gregor had to face the problem that it would not be long before the people of the company, the people of the family, would find out that he did not go to work, they would rush in and find a huge beetle in the room.

But he couldn't speak, and the words he said could only chirp to others, and he couldn't communicate at all.

Wang Lijian is also worried about the protagonist, and he is worried that the protagonist will be seen like this and cause panic, and he secretly expects to see the reaction of his family members when they see him like this.

Eventually, it was Gregor himself who opened the door, and the head secretary of the company, who had come to inquire about it, stood outside the door looking at him with a look of horror.

"Oh!" exclaimed the chief secretary, and before Gregor could say a few words to himself, he staggered backwards and ran away as if he were running away.

When Gregor saw his appearance, his mother clasped her hands together, while his father clenched his fists and looked vicious, as if he was going to beat Gregor back into the room, and then he glanced hesitantly around the room, then covered his eyes with his hands and began to cry, because they were sure that the huge beetle in front of them was Gregor.

In the days that followed, his mother was afraid of him and did not even have the courage to look at him, and his father was disgusted with him and seemed ready to throw him out at any moment. Only his sister would bring him food in fear, but she would never try to make contact with him.

Wang Lijian felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this, and he was a little disappointed by the reaction of Gregor's parents, no matter what, since he had already determined that this monster was his son, he should definitely not be so indifferent. Luckily, my sister is not bad and takes care of Gregor.

However, Wang Lijian then forgave Gregor's parents, because he knew that a normal person would not treat a big beetle with normal thinking anyway. At least they haven't completely given up on Gregor, have they, not that he's their own son, but at least they haven't really swept him away.

But as the plot unfolds, life at home becomes more and more difficult, as the loss of Gregor, the only source of income, makes it more and more difficult financially.

Wang Lijian also found that the reason why Gregor's parents had not abandoned Gregor seemed to be that they still had a glimmer of hope that Gregor could turn back into a human being.

But this hope is destined to be disappointed, as time goes on, and I don't know how long it has been, the timeline of the book is not clear, and the people in the family are slowly changing.

Her mother did some needlework, her father worked as a security guard at a bank, and her sister found a job to support the family. What surprised Gregor the most was that his father, who had lost money in business and owed a lot of debts, and who had always needed his son to work hard day and night to pay off his debts, suddenly took out a large sum of money to pay off the debts he had previously owed.

When Wang Lijian read this paragraph, he was full of resentment, and secretly sighed that this father had never felt sorry for his son?

But even so, they never thought about sharing it for their son, but hid the money until he was sure that Gregor could not be turned back into a human being.

However, seeing their cruelty, Wang Lijian felt resentful at most. It wasn't until he read that Gregor was not angry when he saw his father take out his private money, but secretly admired his father's foresight, and that if he had paid off the debt at that time, there would be nothing that could be done about the problem like the one now.

Gregor never blamed the people in the family and thought of them well, but they always wanted to leave him behind.

Wang Lijian sighed deeply, I am afraid that Gregor wants to die more resolutely than his sisters.

Eventually, Gregor died, either because he had been hit by his father or because he had not eaten for a long time, and Gregor died quietly one night locked in a dark room.

The next day, the old mother of the family found his body.

"Go and see, it's dead, it's lying there kicking its legs, and it's not breathing at all. The old woman whistled and shouted.

"Are you dead?" asked Gregor's mother.

"Dead, of course. As she spoke, the old woman used a broom handle to push Gregor's body far aside, thus proving that she was right.

"Then," said Gregor's father, "let us thank God." ”

……

"Let's thank God! Let's thank God!

But the sullen breath that had accumulated in his heart could not be relieved for a long time, and Gregor's appearance, the faces of Gregor's father, mother and sister could not be dissipated in his mind.

It wasn't until he walked around the study a few times that he slowly calmed down, and then made a phone call to the website: "Hey, I'm Wang Lijian, you hurry up and vacate a place on the homepage, push a new book in the afternoon, I will write the comments myself, and send them to you after dinner." ”
