The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

We are reading and discussing The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.  

Also, make sure you have my handout on meter and rhythm.

The Stranger Discussion Questions

Since we have finished reading The Stranger, here are some discussion questions and activities.

From yesterday:

How is Meursault affected by his mother’s death?
What is the purpose of Salamano and his dog?
How is Meursault an “outsider?”  What about his other associates?
Why does Meursault shoot the Arab?
How does the murder affect Meursault?
How does imprisonment affect Meursault?

From today:

Write down ten quotations from The Stranger that show Meursault's character.  They can be from any point in the novel, but they should reflect the development of the plot.  Comment on each one.

We will write about the novel on Thursday and Friday.
