The Stranger 5
Mersault is in the court room and finds out that the room is packed with people. He then realizes that everyone hates him and they oppose to him. I as a reader, I stand in Mersaults position and notice that he cannot say anything and I think that no one can judge him if he felt something with his moms death or not. No one can judge you if they dont know your past so he is in a really dificult situation where we already know he doesnt have feelings towards nothing so he cannot defend himself.

The Stranger 4
Mersault is in jail becuase he killed an arab. In this point of the novel we really start thinking that Mersault doesnt have a point in life. The jury asked him if he loved his mother and he said yes as anyone would. He didnt showed any sign of sadness or of disgust by his mothers death. The way I see Mersault is like an old person y the body of a rebel teenager that thinks that he came to life only to live it without any worries and that a person mind can adjust to any kind of situation and doesnt suffer, like when he said that ¨if a person is born in jail, he would last 100 years in it¨. This means he doesnt really feel any anger towards him being in jail. But on the other hand if he says he doesnt feel anyhting why did he kill the arab, that means he has a sign of anger towards him but who knows maybe later on in the novel will find something out.

The Stranger 3
On the third part of my reading of this awesome book as you all ready know called The Stranger, Meursault now completely lets us know that he doesnt have any feelings and he doesnt really care that much about life. His boss offered him a job in Paris and he responded that he didnt care that it was the same for him. Also Marie felt in love with him and she told him if he loved her and he didnt answer. I personaly felt a disgust with this guy due to the fact that he doesnt give thanks to life, that he has a job a girl that loves him friends lives relativilely well and he doesnt notices that so its kind of a disgrace that someone like that doesnt care and we can see how so many people in the world are starving and live in miserable conditions that we need to give thanks always to what we have.

The Stranger 2
Dear readers, on the second part of my reading, also about The Stranger I believe, that Meursault is having a very rough time in his office and in his love life, which means that we can see him as a very tough and with out any feelings but if we really see what he is going through, I think we can understand him. I think this part of the book makes us notice that sometimes we judge the people by what we see and maybe we need to know more about a person and about his past to really understand why some persons are really anti-social and love being alone and having time for them. So next time you feel someone you know isnt that nice, before you start saying anything try to know more about that person maybe the have a very dark past or are living through not so many great moments.
The Stranger 1
Dear readers, I started reading this awesome book called The Stranger written by Albert Camus, and what I noticed is that loosing someone that is really suffering it isnt as sad as we think. We have to shift things and think it the way Meursault the main character in the story did when his found out his mother had died. He didnt worry too much about how his mother died how she looked what funeral
