The Stranger ch 1

The students completed the following assignment in class today:

The Stranger
Pgs 12-18

What would be considered socially inappropriate about Meursault’s statement about going for a walk in the country? Consider the tone of his statement.

With all of the things Meursault notices, one would think he is a very observant person. Although this may be true, what does he not know about his mother?

The nurse makes a comment to Meursault about “going too fast/slow.” What is she talking about on a literal and symbolic level?

The chapter closes with Meursault being happy about something? What is it? What types of things make him happy?

List everything he has done so far-
-learned of mother’s death
-excited about long weekend
-etc.
