The Veredict
In this chapter we can see how Meursault is convicted. As I read this chapter I didnt have mercy for him I to think he is guilty. He doesnt deserve to live like all the other people I really think he could be danger for society. Because what could be more dangerous that a man that doesnt have a soul that doesnt have moral that doesnt even recognize what is wrong or what is true, a man that doesnt feel pain or remorse. That has to be condemend its not fair with society and what about Marie did he think about her NOT he didnt even think about the people who were there for him and realy loved him he didnt fight for themm not even for himself and thats not life he deserves what he got.

Change Of Thinking
in this chapter we see a real change in how our main character is thinking i got the feeling that in this chapter he relaizedf that life is more than waiting and doing accordingly here he really realizes that did something wring and its teh first time taht he shows real feelings for example with his friend that he says that it is thwe first time he felt as giving a man a kiss. I think this chaoter gave the book a turn beacuse begfore I felt the charactyer distant and cold here I could see another face in him a more human face he actually says he wants to cry. This happens a lot in real life because theres osmetimes you think that you can do it all and you go over people that love you and appreciate you and at the end you realize that you have worries and feelings and that youre not alone in the world that when you really need somenone you do have friends that care about you. At last I feel something towards teh amin character and this feeling I would describe as compassion.
Live Life
In this chapter I realized many things in which I can include that I was really impressed with the attitude of the character towards his situation it reflected how the character didnt have any purposes and how he didnt look forward to anything in life. I can compare it a little bit with the book in spanish called Cobro de Sangre by Mario Mendoza where we see tha main character almost in the same situation and they are very similar because when they have the opportunity to scape out of prison they dont use it it seems like if they didnt care about anything in life and like if they didnt get he meaning of life and that the fun part of it is being free but Meursault is assimalationist he thinks that he can adjust to everything no matter what and I really disagree with how he thinks we have to fight for what we really want in life no matter what not with what he have or what life brings it off course you hace to get the best ot of each situation but fight for what you want, but meurault has de same attitude as Sotomayor in Cobro de Sangre they dont fight it they really have it with where they are and its a really mediocre way of thinking, but ither than what I think I found this chapter really interesting because at last the scenario was changed.

Part two Chapter 1
This chapter had a real unexpected turn for me because throughout what I had already read I had seen Meursault as a person that didnt care about anything or anyone and viceversa but in this chapter he we can see how society returned all that ignorance with which he acted in life because when he shot the arab he did it because he didnt care he didnt really think about it but this time it paid off and now he is in jail so no matter how ignorante you are and the less you put into life it all pays back. And in this chaoter for the first time we see how Meursault couldnt live like he was he thought he could do it alone and that he didnt need anyone and that theres was nothing wrong with people who did bad things because it was not his problem but that is not the case in real live you have to be very careful with the decisions you make in life because im a real believer that everything in life returns what comes around goes around.

Part One Chapter 6
This chapter was very impresive starting because we can see how our main character shows once and again his coldeness towards life and persons. We can see also that he is really into Marie and Raymond who have been his real companions all along what he have read. We can see here that he commits a criminal act but I think he doesnt necesarily has to kill to be a criminal for example when raymond asked meursault about what to do with his girl if he should beat her he didnt stop it which is as terrible as killing not preventing an asault to life or an act that is obvously bad is as bad as killing its a crime. In the other hand we also see how is not expressive at all but I also think that the authro is maybe trying to represent something of society in the story. An aspect of our culture.

Chapter 5
In this chapter I really realized the meaning of the book and how a strange boko it is becuase when we talked about it in class I really didnt understand but in this chapter I giot the idea of the book. This book shows us a face of life taht exists but that we never se or realize about neithe rin books or in movies. This man has no ambitions and everything for him is like the same he doesnt really matter if he marries or not or whatever if his life is not distubed he has no problem with anything thats why when his boss tells him if he would want to work in paris he says no not beacuse he would like it or not just simply beacuse his ordinary life would get disturbed and he is a confortable person who doesnt like it. I think that in life a lot of us sometyimes take thisn attitude to new or challenging oportunites and we get lazy or scared and just avoid unconfortable situations and that is not a right attitude towards life because I think that life is about chalenges and oportunites that only come once in your life and thats when you have to get them.
Chapter 4
In chapter four is when the dog of salamano is lost. I found this chapter very contradictory qith respect to the attitude given by meursault towards de death of his mother beacuse he almost didnt notice while with the loss of the dog salamano cries so I found really interesting to see the contrast of the two reactions towards losses. I found this chapter better than the other two because something happened that was not normal something that was not included in their daily rutine. I also goit to know a little bit more the main character because even though he is a quiet man with no real purposes in life or at leats not ones that we can clearly see he has friends and it seems he is a man thatinspires trust because his neighbors go to him for advice and really hear what he has to say. But he seems not to be interesteed in anything more than himself his advices are fast he doesnt really think about what he is going to say or thinking in the other person or what would be best for the person he just says the first thing he thinks.

Chapter Three
In this chapter I found something especially interesting and it was the fact that his boss was very nice to him that day becuase he knew about meursault loss and he was being especially kind because he deduced he was sad and meursault refers to this attitude as strange which is very weird because it is obvious that if somebody has a loss well the persons with whom you sahre your time are going to be really carefull beacuse youre going to be sensitive. Its also really lame what he thinks about how salamano treats his dog. Everyone notices that he is really mean to the dog but meursault just doesnt care and doesnt relaize things. Even though his attitude is really not caring I really think its an aspect of life or humanity that we all have gone through because theres many times were we just do as if we didnt care when really we do and we just try to avfoid things in life which at the end are inevitable.
Chapter Two
In this chapter is when we really realize about the characters real attitude towards life because in the first chapter it wasnt clear but heer we realize the attitude of loneliness and how he is really not unterested in anything or anyone. When he talks about his mother and her death its like if he didnt care and in work he asks for some free days but I feel he does it more for beacuse tahts what you do when somebody close dies that your sad and youhace to be alone for some time but he does it beacuase tahts how it works not really because he feels it and with tings like this ones is that I feel that he is a stranger taht only follow rules of society to continue almost as with a lazy attitude.
