A Stranger Is A Touch Subject Analysis

Decent Essays
Strangers Strangers is a touch subject for me because I try and help them when I get a chance but if I know I can’t I will keep driving. For example if someone is having trouble with there car I wouldn’t help them because I know nothing about cars. I feel it would be a waste of my time just to sit out there and look stupid if I try and help. Other things like if someone is breaking in to a car I will call the police but I won’t try and stop them because maybe they have permission to get in that car.
Same thing when it comes to shoplifting I won’t say anything because I know that I could get in trouble for trying and if they do it the store is supposed to have security that stops people from doing that. Like one time when I was in Kmart one

    In part one, chapter six of The Stranger, Camus utilizes a multitude of literary devices in hopes of describing and explaining Meursault’s killing of the Arab. Although Camus employs the use of a plethora of literary techniques, some of the most conspicuous include those of foreshadowing, imagery, and intricate diction. In the final chapter of part one, Camus makes use of various literary devices to present the notion that Meursault’s needless murder of the Arab lacks a rational explanation, though the reader attempts to find one. Across the course of chapter six, Camus makes use of foreshadowing as a means of hinting at the disastrous course that Meursault’s life will take at the end of the chapter.…

    Donald M. Murray’s memoir, “The Stranger in the Photo Is Me,” ascertains the idea that life changes as we change. He explicitly enforces this idea by inundating his audience with his impactful usage of both antithesis and juxtapositions to express his belief of innocence versus experience. Murray narrows the idea of innocence versus experience by ultimately speaking on his positive self versus what has happened in the intervening years, and how once he became older, he became much more aware of what has happened. As Murray goes deeper into his argument, his use of antithesis and juxtapositions become clear during his shift from alluding to memories in his younger age to transforming into someone he never thought he would become, and ultimately referring to himself as a “stranger.”…

    Improving the Retail Alarm System According to the National Shoplifting Prevention Association (NASP), retail stores across America roughly lose over 30 Billion dollars due to shoplifting. Working for a retail store for almost 3 years now, I have come to witness many different shoplifting experiences. An experience that comes to mind was when two tall men walked out the store having both arms filled with purses. And all we could do is watch them walk out the store with all those merchandise. As a retail associate we are not allowed to physically touch customers and we cannot follow them outside the store due to safety reasons, however, lost prevention (LP) can do those things.…

    The Strange Character of Meursault In what perhaps is Albert Camus’s most notable work, The Stranger, the main character Meursault can be considered as a vessel for the philosophy of existentialism, an idea prominent in the time period in which the novel was written. Though at first glance Meursault may come off as a simple, uncaring man, as the story progresses, the reader is able to see Meursault as a complex and intriguing person. While in the beginning of the book Meursault is focused only on completing his physical needs, when his ability to fulfill them is taken away from him in prison, he is forced to truly think about his life, becoming fully absurdist in his philosophy. From the very start of the story, the author…

    Arlie Russell Hochschild is a renowned American sociologist who focuses a lot on human emotions as they relate to morals and beliefs. In her most recent book, Strangers in Their Own Land, Hochschild travels to Lake Charles, Louisiana in an attempt to understand what was going through peoples’ minds when they voted for Trump in the 2016 Presidential election. In order to do so, Hochschild must cross over “empathy walls”, or an “obstacle to deep understanding of another person” (5). Getting over empathy walls creates an opening and opportunity to view the world through the Tea Party’s eyes, which provides the kind of understanding Hochschild uses in crafting the “deep story” of the Louisiana bayou. The crafting of a “deep story” is essentially…

    We are all born with an alter ego. Many times we see that people in stories have such different personalities. Let’s face it we all know how to be well behaved and we all know how to act on impulse and do things that are completely out of this world. In my case I can be very quiet but when I go out and have a couple of drinks, I am very talkative and can act on impulse. With the two stories “Strangers on a Train” and “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” all the characters have an alter ego but together they complete each other.…

    Relation Analysis of When Harry Met Sally The Social Penetration Theory As established from empirical studies, relationships do not just become; they rather developed through stages before they mature. According to the social penetration theory, interpersonal communications in the early stages are relatively shallow and somehow restrictive. As relationships grow, relations grow to get deeper and intimate (Carpenter & Greene, 2016). For instance, in the film When Harry Met Sally, the various stages of the social penetration theory become apparent. In the film, while Sally and Harry initially disliked each other after accidentally meeting after a long term, through self-discloser the two become friends.…

    One the most significant things that I learned in introduction to human services this semester was that everyone experiences situations differently, what might be something unimportant and minor to you might be a trigger for someone else. You should always be mindful of others, I think us as human beings we tend to be a bit selfish and like to think that the world revolves around us. Which, is ridiculous because the world has 7.3 billion people and counting, and what makes me more significant than all those other people? Sometimes I’ll go out to the store in a hurry and I’ll get a line with a cashier that is being extremely slow, and I get upset and start thinking of some nasty things about the cashier, without ever taking into consideration what that person might be going through.…
