1. The Stranger–read and annotate the first two chapters of Part 2.
2. THE STRANGER ESSAY
First Draft due Thursday, March 23rd.
Final Draft due Monday, March 27th.
3 page literary/philosophical analysis of The Stranger. What is Camus arguing about the human condition? You are expected to use The Myth of Sisyphus as a complement to your discussion. How does Sisyphus help us to understand Camus’ philosophy as communicated through Meursault? IMPORTANT: While Sisyphus is used to give some form to the discussion (i.e. helping to shape the thesis), the discussion is focused on exploring Camus’ message and how he develops that message. While not necessary, I would encourage you to research Camus further to give you further context. Folks, I expect this essay to demonstrate great thematic/philosophical control of both texts. Waiting till the night before is probably not a good idea. Your reading responses and annotations should prove to be quite beneficial here. This should be typed in font size 12 (times new roman or arial). You should have a title!!! The title should reflect your thesis. If you have any questions, please email me.
