1. Meursault is in a kind of sexual relationship. Everytime he sees her, he can’t stop his sexual attraction towards her. His thoughts are all about her physical features and sex. When Marie asks Meursault if he love her, he told her it didn’t matter. “A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn’t mean anything but I don’t think so” (35). 2. Sintes had a fight with his mistress and so the policeman came to stop him from beating her to death, which reveals that Sintes is abusive and he can not control his anger. He also is unaware of what he is doing is wrong and to justify his actions he tells the policeman that he can’t stop himself. “‘I’m not drunk officer. It’s just I’m here, and you’re here, and I’m shaking. I can’t help
You really wrote your post well! I did the exact same topic and how it was negative. The quote that you used, “If a woman should crush a man's testicle during a quarrel, they shall cut off one of her fingers. And even if the physician should bandage it, but the second testicle then becomes infected along with it, or she should crush the testicle during the quarrel- they shall gouge out both her ..." (Page 47). That quote was the quote that I was going to use in my post, but I decided not to. The way you explained how women were treated by men in your post was a great idea by using the in-depth quotes. To be completely honest, there was nothing positive about women and how their civilization was positive. The men treated women as
Chapter 5: Paul explains about how unsanitary the camps are, explaining that he and his friends had gotten louses (lice) in their head, and they try to attempt to get it off. Haie tries to cheer up the rest of the soldiers by telling them that he might have got the lice from the hospital, but he is the one who laugh the most, for 30 minutes straight. After trying to get the lice off themselves, they hear that Himmelstoss got in trouble for harassing the soldiers, and the magistrate’s son caught him in the action. Hearing the news that Himmelstoss got in trouble for his wrongdoings, Paul and the rest of the group start planning out what they should do or say to Himmelstoss when he comes back to the camp. When talking about what they should do
1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).
Chapter 4 was insightful in public opinion, because there is a lot to say about it. The political socialization unit was something we all know, but it also allows time to look into the lense of children, I looked at this more intently because I am taking a juvenile delinquency course and we read about exposure to environments as well as the family molding a child is very impactful.
Meursault deals with others people as if they are only there to please him or they are just taking up his time. As evidenced with his relationship with Marie, Meursault was merely using her for sex because that is what he wanted from her and at that time in his life. He lives from pleasure to pleasure with Marie; he only looks forward to seeing her when he knows he can have sex with her. When visiting day rolls around at the jail he is not as enthusiastic about seeing Marie as you would think he would be after not seeing her for several months. Because he knows he can't have sex with her, it totally cheapens the moment while she talks to him. Meursault drifts off into space basically ignoring her. For Meursault there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for him if he talks to her, the thrill is gone and thus the pleasure has dried up for him.
1.) The ending did not surprise me; I think it may have if we hadn’t discussed it in class. I think I would have been very surprised and confused, if I hadn’t known the ending prior to reading it.
zany He threw a finger to the dead end of the corridor, where twenty-someting Jason Abbernathy proceeded with a smile, sliding a homburg over his gelled hair and urbanely clicked his door shut.
1. They decided to create a union together. 2. The little girl was abducted brutally.
"I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it."- Oscar Wilde. This quote mean is whatever wrong doing someone has committed it’s the outcome is what matters. Furthermore, it is saying what the consequences will do the person. For example, Jack Gantos is participating in drug smuggling, which is wrong, and it lead to severe consequences. These consequences are going to change his personality, thinking, and lifestyle. Thus, the quote is meant to show how one will overcome and learn from the consequences of their actions.
The second some portion of this book is more centered around how Augusts cherished one feel about him and with him. I welcome the writer for taking from August family and companions point of view since it will help perusers comprehend the story better with more noteworthy profundity and feeling. For example, just August's family can catch superior to anything anybody what he needs to experience. A decent illustration of would be that they generally guard August against open and never dither. To me, creator's message was excessively mindful individuals of how little acknowledgment we have, and how little we bargain? I trust that on the off chance that it was my kin in August spot I would act likewise to August's kin and folks. It is just characteristic that we think more about our blood relations than whatever other relationship.
I agreed, Michal raised the same question you have posited. However, I think I get it wrong them. To be fair is confusing to me as well. "ALL" doesn't make sense because we have 13 warehouses and approximately half captured in this report, therefore, the term "ALL" might be a bit dicing. Hang in there, I'm hoping to get back to you before the close of today with more definite answers. Thanks and sorry Michal
John boarded the dark blue freighter with Conner his best friend. John sat down in his and Connor's bunk bed in the freighters quarters. Conner said “ you should always check your back and don’t trust everything you hear”. Conner had short brown hair and his skin was dark while John was medium height with golden long hair but everyone on the boat wore the same army gear, green bulletproof vests and helmet. The only thing that they shared in common other than their uniforms was both of their voices were deep and masculine. As the hours passed John started to recount the years of that horrible war. It started in the year of 1939 when the nazi’s
I exhale a long, frustrated sigh as I look around the old, battered up, brown and decaying café. It was amidst the start of the French Revolution, and circumstances were heating up. Everyone were in a small groups chattering away at nothing in particular as I stand at the slightly raised platform, waiting for the last few representatives to come. I, Pascal Beaumont, was the organizer of the raid that will be held at the Bastille, in Paris, on July 14, 1789. Tomorrow was July 14, 1789, the big day. Such an evil thing to do, some might think, but not in my situation. I was thirsty for revenge, for the blood that belonged to the royalty, for death. That rascal, King Louis XVI would pay for the lives he took from the peasants. They would never
Meursault’s image of being emotionless continues even to his lover, Marie. Marie will ask if Meursault loves her, he would respond it does not mean anything but that he does not think so. Later, Marie asked Meursault if he wanted to marry her. Meursault answers, “...it [doesn’t] make any difference to me and that we could if [you] wanted to.” (Camus 41). Marriage should be special between the two, but for Meursault it did not matter if they marry or not, he is fine with both. Meursault having no feeling for Marie makes it seem he does not see a difference between being in love and being in lust. Meursault seems to admit this when Marie asked if he would have accepted the same proposal from another woman with whom he was involved in the same
In part 1 of the novel Meursault does not care about look towards the future while also not looking back at the past. Instead Meursault focuses on the present yet even then he does not attach emotions to what happens to him in the present. At the funeral after his mom dies Meursault does not cry, he does not want to see her in the casket, he really doesn’t seem to care that his mother is dead. These lack of feelings describe Meursault’s mentality throughout most of the first part of this book. Despite the fact that Meursault is presented as absurd he seems to find some meaning or feeling when he is with Marie. “…[Marie] asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad.” (Meursault,35) Although Meursault says he does not love
