Honestly, for me it was metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a short story made by Kafka. It really showed how if a person is useless then people just discard them. How the family of the mc just threw him out because he couldn’t work or provided. It was so true that people would actually do that, even your family members that it made me cry.
The Lord of the Flies. I remember reading it in school and being impressed upon all the detailed symbolism of a flawed humanity producing a flawed society…but at the time, I also just saw a bunch of kids whose parents were too busy for them.
My sisters read it and said it was a creepy book, especially if you put creepy music on while reading. Definitely on my book list!
