Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 220 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

Stranger - Camus
In chapter 6, there is a fast pace of the plot because the climax suddenly surprises me. In beginning, the story pace was slow and descriptive, but in this scene it suddenly attack me with questions. Honestly, I have to read it three times to understand what is going on in this scene. When Meursault shoot the Arab and continued to shoot at the dead body opens many interpretations to readers. My interpretation is, at first shot he was impulsive and when he continued he still was impulsive. Then his behavior made his lawyers got mad at him because they think he isn't cooperating, but he was being honest with himself. Overall, I feel like he created his own world and don't want to back to reality.
