Van Gogh put the cypress tree in his painting to connect the earth and sky, some say that he used the tree to reflect his own thoughts about death. Van Gogh depicted a lot of darkness in this oil painting, but made it seem…

Throughout the first unit it is evident that the focal point is how man finds identity and purpose in the face of the often random and cruel nature of existence. In the novel The Stranger, Meursault was very blunt when Marie asked why he was mourning. This section emphasizes Meursault’s direct and honest nature, and indicates that he is easily adaptable to life changes. He presents a life-goes-on attitude, which the reader may not understand at first glance because of the recent death of his…

Lysergic acid diethylamide, or better known as LSD was invented by Albert Hoffman in 1938 in an attempt to find a blood stimulant. After accidentally absorbing a small amount of the drug through his fingertips, Hoffman realized the powerful and pleasant psychedelic effects the drug had and researched the psychological effects of the drug years after. This quote is from Hoffman's journal and is his description of his first LSD trip “I suddenly became strangely inebriated. The external world…

H.P. Lovecraft once said,“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”. The unknown can be seen as the outsiders of society. Albert Camus, a French-Algerian writer writes the story of Meursault, a man detached emotionally from society in French-Algeria during the 1940s. In the novel, Camus explores the philosophy of the Absurd in which expresses a fundamental disharmony; a confrontation between our human desire for order…

There is one defining moment in the Stranger—Meursault’s shooting of the Arab. In fact the book is structured around it, part one is pre-shooting, part two is post. It is the shooting that makes Meursault loose his freedom, and eventually his life. But for Meursault, it isn’t significantly important. Killing someone doesn’t change him at all. Prison is a bigger change, but he gets used even to that. It is only once he is sentenced to death that Meursault’s character actually begins to change.…

Albert Einstein was one the most important scientists of his time. Mostly because of his discoveries and theories.Two of his theories have caught my attention: the theory of relativity or the theory of gravitation. I have found his works to be entertaining and educational while also being realistic and inspirational. Albert Einstein was a brilliant mind in his time. Well into the 21st century, he still continues to teach and give insight on important matters such as studies on gravity and…

Albert Camus uses the characters in the book to describe and manipulate Meursault's decisions and depicts if his crime is based on feelings or facts. Camus uses Raymond to show that Meursault can make friends but is not very good in deciding if they are god influences on him.

I kept silent and he said it…
