Journal #11

Journal #11: Talk about how your going to go about tabbing the stranger in detail.

When I’m tabbing the stranger, I probably will not be using a color coordinated system. I feel like having to remember which tab goes to what on top of actually having to think about tabbing at all ON TOP of reading the story would distract me too much from what is actually happening in the book.

So having said that, I’ll just read, if I see something that stands out like a motif, a symbol, any literary technique that I feel would help me on a future essay ill tab it, and write a brief note to myself about where I was going with the tab. Ill probably be looking at Meursault’s emotionlessness(is that a word?) and how he does things without thinking and most of the time without regret. It’s nice that I’ve already read the book once so I’ll know what’s coming.

And if I run out of room on the sticky, I’ll just write all over the book and then give it to someone when I’m done…sort of like a half-blood prince. Just keepin’ it real.

Edit: After todays class, alot of the things that i was planning on looking out for were eliminated. Until i find some new stuff to look out for, ill just continue to look for the less obvious things that not everyone noticed such as having dialogue embedded in the passage.
