Freedom?

In the last pages I read not a lot of things happend. Monsieur Meursault was taken to court so his care would be examinated. When he gets there, he talks a lot of what he sees and how people are staring at him and his acts. At first when I started reading this chapter it impacted me because he acted so natural and suprise about everything. It seems to me that eventhough he has been a few months in prison he has not realize yet what has happend to him and the problem he got into for doing thing without thinking and that had nothing to do with him. He has taken a really relaxed attitude about anything and lookes on the ´´bright´´ side of everything and just does not learn his lesson. For me he just keeps having no sense of anything and shows no feelings at all. When he gets to the court he is just like ¨ I think first I hadn´t realize that all those people were crowding in to see me¨ (Pg.83) Just like I said before I think that he takes thing in suck a natural and relax way that is suprising because things are not as easy for him in that moment. He noticed that a lot of the people that he knew were there to be witnesses. The first one´s that testified where Monsieur Perez, the director and the caretaker. Actually none of them said anything good about thing or anything to help him things be better for his case. The director talked about Mamas complains about Monsieur Meursault ¨Whether he used to reproch me for having put her in the home, and the director said yes...said I hadn´t cried once...¨(pg.89), the caretaker talked about him not wanting to see the body and his actings and attitudes that day ( he was blamed for drinking coffe and smoking a cigarette which later he was embarassed because he saw he smoked too and offered the coffe) and for las Monsieur Perez talked about not seeing him crying and only seeing him once in his life. After they passed thing didn´t get any better, but then Marie passed and things got worse because she talked about the day they met and what they did and it got to conclusions about him not caring about his mother because it was the same day they met as the mothers funeral. After that Raymond, Masson and Celeste passed but no one really cared about what they said because things were really bad all ready. In the court things didn´t finish so good, people had the wrong impressions of things. What I also saw in what I read is he keeps being the same, he does not care about anything and things keep being really detaild. He talks a lot of what he sees and in a detailed way. Fro know that is what happend, and things are note getting better.

Killing an Arab and prison

After walking in the beach, having lunch, getting in the water and meeting the Arabs things start to get bad. Monsieur Meursault made a huge mistake. After one Arab attacke Raymond after a while they went to meet with them again! Monsieur Meursault hold the gun so Raymond wouldn't mess up, but things got even worse. '' I squeezed my hand around the revolver..The trigger gave...I'd been happy'' (pg.59) So, he kills the Arab ust for an inpulse , and he doesnt feel anything no guilt nothing. I never thought he would get involve but maybe his emptyness of feelings is just an anger and a diffrent person with stronger , much stronger actions. They send him to jail and an atourney went to talk to him to try to solve his case, but things get worse beacuse he feels he cant help him. The atourney asks him if he felt sad in Mamans death and he is okay with it '' the same as anyone''(pg.67) and and for killing the guy he is also okay with it `` More than sorry I felt kind of annoyed'' (pg.70). He has no feelings he has no reactions he does not act in anyway that helps him get easier out of jail in anyway. He takes everything as a joke, he is not serious; he is in jail and does not care at all everything he sees it as a game he fells ``one of the family''(pg.70) Marie went to visit him one day and he was happy but in a moment he just though ''I`d have liked to leave''(pg.75) How can he act that way about her and not even care about her if he spends every weekend with her, but she is not the first women in his mind. ``My desire for a woman...I never thought specifically about Marie'' (pg. 77) He just doesnt care about anything. He killed a man , he goes to jauil, his case is taking a long time and he cannot see Marie because she is not his wife, things are hard but he doesnt care, he does not learn any lesson about anything and just keeps living in this world full of nothing in side and un thoughtfull feelings and thoughs full of nothing. His attitude impresses me, it never expresses anything at all.

The Stranger 3

After the things happening before,this new pages talk about a little more things. Monsieur Meursault is called by his boss, and he tellshim he is going to open a new work in Paris and that he would like him to be working for him. Before that happened when he was first called he thought that he was going to get punished or be judged in a way which happens a lot to him. Raymond also calledhim because he wantes to invite him and Marie to the beach on Sunday which he sounds excited. Marie lateron askes himtom arry him, but he actually doesnt care at all and just says yes but he also tells her hedoesnt love him and he would mary any other women being in the same situation. ´´She just wanted to know if I would have accepted the same proposal from another woman, with whom I was involved in the sameway. I said sure´´(pg.42) In myopinion Ithinks thats avery cruel answer and very empty answer because eventhough he is being sincere at the same time its to harsh. After this happend he spend sometimewith Marie and then when he got homehe found Salamano on his door and he came in and started talking about his lost dog and telling him why he bought it and how he was before he had the disease.He was really deporesses and in this part Monsieur Meursault sounds a little more interested and with more feelings about whats happening. At the next day they go to the beach to Raymonds friend. Before that they see some Arabs standing infront of the building waiting for Raymond because they were there because of the inconvenient with his exmitress. They get to the beach and go into the water and is sometimes really specific about things and really descriptive. I thinks sometimes he is really secxual in a way of how he talks and expresses about things like ´´I felt her legs wrapped around mine and I wanted her´´(pg.51) They ate lunch and then went fora walk with Raymond and Masson (Raymond friend) and in the way they find the two Arabs walking slowly towards them but no feeling is showed by Monsier Mensault which shows no interest of no feeling of impact of scared. This pages I read had happen more things as in the first pages but inm the same time his feelings and emotions are not showed at all.

Insensitive

On this second twenty pages more things happen. He finishes with everything that he had to do with his mothers funeral and he goes to the beach. He goes to the movies with some women hes always liked and gets distracted but at the same time is like nothing happen with his mother. He goes to his place with her and go to his house, then at the next day she just leaves and he doesnt care at all. Through the pages I have read, he is the narrator, but he talks only in the way he sees things. I also saw that he is a very observative person and he likes to watch people and see how they vanish and how they act and what they do. He talks about his two neighbors, one that has a dog and has been eight years with the dog and as it seems he doesnt treat the dog very well and the other one that likes to talk to him. Their names are Raymond and Salamano. With both of them he showes no feeling of anything. In a part Raymond invites him to his place and tells him about his ex girlfiend who cheated on him. He tells him how he is going to get revenge and how he beats her up, which is really horrifying and he doesnt show any suprise of anything at all. He just doesnt care and agrees and helps him write her a note which is impressing such a natural attitude. As I said in the last blog, hes just really unique in his way of maniging things.

Feelings

Monsieur Meursault , seems to be a man how is tired of his life. When he starts talking about his mothers death he shows no feelings and he feels inside guilty about it, but at the same time he wants people to know that its not his fault his mother is dead. He goes to his boss to ask permission to go to his mother funeral and he feels his boss is going to judge him and the pnly things he says is its not my fault. He doesnt show any kind of feeling when he gets there, he doesnt want to see her and doesnt talk to much. All the time he feels people look at him in a critique way which is not true in my opinion because he couldnt affort having his mom where he lived so he sent her to a better place. What I can see in the firts twenty pages is he is really empty inside and he doesnt care about anything at all, he doesnt talk to much and seems to care abouth anything.

Its not about what we read

As I step into my twelveth Grade English class, I will be enjoying reading, laughing, arguing, and commenting about the novels I read. Hopefully, you will get to interact with what I write and comment about the previous said.
