If you were Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka’s story “The Metamorphosis,” what insect would you turn into?

I would turn into a bee because when I was younger I would catch bees instead of butterflies during the summer. Bees love flowers and I love filling my notebooks with pressed flowers. And I also have a minecraft bee stuffed animal named Banzo.

If you were a robot in Karel Čapek’s play Rossum’s Universal Robots (R.U.R.), what kind of robot would you be?

I would be an anarchist robot that decides the monotonous life cycle for humans is stupid and rebels against my expected role in society to become a world traveler and recruits other robots to rebel against modern society.
