The Stranger: Journal #8

The Stranger was an entertaining and interesting book to read, and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it by the time we finished re-reading it. A good work of literature in my opinion is one that communicates a larger message about the human condition through a combined usage of symbols and other literary techniques. Camus definitely achieved that with this book, using a large variety of different techniques to create a novel that has the potential to be interpreted in a wide variety of ways. I feel that this novel is useful in learning how to properly analyze a text for original ideas because of that.
