The Stranger [ [ Blog Assignment 3 ] ]

1. What was the climax of the story? Some of you have already talked about this in class, but I want each group to come to a consensus.
2. What was the social commentary?
3. Why did you like/dislike the novel? Don't just say "I thought the story was good"... I want some opinion and thought, here! Also, I don't want you to write "it sucked" without backing up your opinion with some good, critical comments. Think of a movie review. Those reviewers never just say "it sucked"... they give evidence and details.And... it's okay to dislike your book!


1. The climax of the story is that the main character has found the true meaning of life, also when he goes back to the beach to kill the Arab. Even though he has shot him once already, he continues to shott the Arab 3 more times

2. The social commentary of this book is that the world he lives in isn't cut out for him. He doesn't quite fit into society, leaving him an outsider, a nobody. This is probably the reason why he feels isolation. When he's in jail, he felt how his mother felt when she was in the senior home. He's cuts his connections off from the outside world and keeps to himself most of the time.

3.In the beginning, i thought that the book was way boring and moving too slow. Then, the story started to pick up and started to climax. That's when the book got interesting. In the end, it was very interesting and caught my attention of how the world is nowadays. In conclusion, this book might be long and boring, but in the end it all pays off. This is a good book and i would recomend it to anyone who questions the way of life.

The Stranger [ [ Blog Assignment 2 ] ]

Your book is probably the easiest to read, but the hardest to understand. The main reason for this is that your story centers on the internal conflict of a character that seems boring. To fully understand The Stranger, you must familiarize yourself with the philosophy of Existentialism. Critics sum up this philosophy as “Life has no meaning”, but this definition is too simplistic.QUESTION: Look up Existentialism (online or in the library) and explain how this relates to The Stranger.(Each member comments on the same question… it’s a big question!)


In my opinion, I think existentialism is meant by humans have their own responsibility to create their own meaning of the purpose of life. Existentialism relates to our book, The Stranger because the main character doesn't know what to expect from life, therefore this leads him to point out simple little problems in everyday life, yet he fails to evaluate himself. He thinks everyone around him has problems, but it never comes to mind that he's the one who has a problem. He thinks his life is meaningless and boring. But instead of doing something about it, he doesn't change the way he lives, he continues on living his same old boring life.

[About Me] so listen up. Because the world really does, revolve around me.

My real name is Ariobipedenolakuvnemodupetywangstakoolioflavorflav. I'm a secret agent that's undercover with Mr. Krabs from Bikini Bottoms. I'm on a top secret confidential mission where I have to find the hideout of Sir Plankton the 4th and see why Squidward is always so gloomy. He must be taking some kind of drugs or something.. About drugs,did you know that people all over the world are taking drugs that don't realize the toxic chemicals in them? These toxic chemicals can harm someone right on the spot or long term use. Talking about that, cancer seems to be appearing in the youngest people nowadays. Whether it's long term radiation exposure or something else, they somehow get it. About Radiation, as you kno, microwaves use radiation waves to warm food up. But have you ever tried to warm up a cracker? It doesn't WORK!! This is because all the food you eat has some water content in it. A cracker simply does not contain any water content. Therefore, it cant be warmed up in a microwave. Talking about crackers, I like to eat crackers with salame or sometimes with cheese. And about cheese, why the HECK are there so many types of cheese? It's CHEESE people! the same product so why have so many? Is it to make our lives miserable by trying to remember which cheese is the healthiest and which is the stinkiest? About health, lots of kids in the world these days aren't getting the nutrition they need. No, I dont blame it on the kids themselves. I blame it on the parents. They buy them all this good tasting burgers and fries from McJackInTheCarl'sJrKentuckyFriedKing. What good does it do? I'll tell you. It raises their colestrol level at a very young age and puts them on dialysis at the minimum age of 10. Good job parents, you really do love your kids. But we cant blame this all on the parents now... It's the kid's responsiblity to be active to burn off those EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA fat calories. Talking about calories, did you notice that on some nutrition facts it's says that the serving size in one of those things is like 3? Yea people, you have to times those calories by 3 in order to get the total amount of calories consumed. OK I think i'll end it here. I'll add more next time i "blog" on this dumb website.

OH SEVEN FO SHIZZLE!!!!


OMG... this blog is WEAK! This is the biggest the font will get!! You cant put any background color for your font, there aren't enough colors to choose from, and you cant underline words. Grrr..... and you wonder why i hate blogs!?!
