The Stranger

Andy and Tom’s mother is a traditional but good mother who exemplifies the characteristics of caring, courage and loyalty throughout the story, “The Strangers That Came to Town.” Her caring nature is evident right at the beginning of the story when, as soon as the Duvitches had emptied the moving truck, she stepped into the kitchen and “returned swathed in her hooded raincoat, carrying a basket containing a vacuum jug of chicken soup, a baked tuna fish dish, steaming hot; a loaf of fresh bread…

Bruno and Guy are constantly paralleled throughout Strangers on a Train. They are very different personalities, yet both are in similar circumstances and fate seemingly brought the two together. The scene at Bruno’s home further illustrates this idea of dualities that may not be as different as they appear. They might even be considered alter egos of the same person. Guy is the reserved but likable personality while Bruno is enigmatic but brash. This scene, a microcosm of the film, pits them in…

Stranger Things Stranger Things is an original Netflix series set in Hawkins, Indiana in the 1980’s. It is about a group of residents looking for a lost boy called Will Byers.

was also a mixture of music from the Baroque through the Modern era. The assorted musical periods and instruments contributed to a more varied Musicale. The group pieces at the beginning and end of the Musicale sounded the most contemporary. “On stranger Tides” was a good choice to start with because it was from a popular movie with which most of the audience was familiar with. The audience was acquainted with and thrilled by this piece, so by the time it was over, they were more intent on…

Stranger Paper Observation is a key factor in understanding who a person is and what makes up who they are. Over the last few weeks, I took it upon myself to observe those who I didn’t know very well. I began observing one individual within our classroom, and I began analyzing her in order to understand a little bit more of who she is. During our time of discussion I noted that she enjoys camping, eating fajitas, and claims to be both a listener and a talker. I also found out that she claims…

When I flipped it open, there was a description of a Netflix horror show, Dark, that read, “Like a sausage casing that doesn’t care one bit if it will burst from overstuffing, this German import has elements of Stranger Things… Set in a dank little town… it involves missing children [and] a cave that occasionally belches a terrifying roar…” First of all, I am not convinced that this horror show is horrifying if the author is comparing it to sausage.…

The passage on page 151 of Camus’ The Stranger expresses the interaction between the chaplain and Meursault after Meursault is convicted of murder. The chaplain tries to impose a religious aspect onto Meursault, but Meursault responds in an aggressive manner. Meursault’s “breakthrough” or epiphany towards society expresses his refusal to accept the pre-made beliefs prescribed by society’s judgmental thoughts towards Meursault. The epiphany is conveyed through Meursault’s progression in the…

As civilizations progress over the course of hundreds of years, interaction is bound to happen. You can see examples of the mixtures of cultures all over the world.

Location and outsider influences are the main sources of the components of a culture. Due to Algeria’s North African location, it has gained many Islamic traits from the neighboring areas. Islam provides…
