In class today, students used their books and notes to complete a journal entry on the following discussion question: In Chapters 1-2 of The Stranger, the reader is introduced to the narrator and protagonist, Meursault, through his thoughts, spoken words, and interactions with others. Do you believe that Meursault is emotionally detached, and how does his reaction to his mother's death either confirm or refute this detachment? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue.
HW: Read Chapter 3 of The Stranger and assess if new information provided supports the conclusions in your journal entry. Tuesday's class will be a book discussion on this topic.
