The Stranger
is read throughout the United States in many different highschools The
book was written in 1946. This book has earned its high popularity. In
1957 Albert Camus won a Nobel Prize and was noted for his existentialist
beings.
The Plot is
very easy to understand. A young Algerian named Meursault gets involve
in a matter that gets him into something he will never get over. I have
a lot of problems with the character Meursault. I guess its because he
is an existentialist and their views are slightly confusing. His feelings
are unusual and that’s what makes the book interesting. Meursault is unmoved
by his mother death. He meets a girl and she tells him how much she loves
him but he fails to show emotions. As a matter of fact throughout the entire
story he fails to show emotion. He finally shows emotion at he end of the
when he is getting close to his sentence. It was better than a five
but not a ten. So I rate it as a seven.
