paragraph 3

My fathers and my own logical thinking has lead us to make decsions based off of rational thought that has lead both my father and I on a more sucessful path in our lives.  My father had to make a decsion at a young age that has made a lasting inpact in his life in a positive way.  "Right before the revoluion, in Iran, my father at the age of 16 made me decide between staying at home and going to school with all my friends or go to the states, to a place unknown to me and study their without any of my friends" (Azadegan).

paragraph 3

In my third paragraph I will be exploring the possibilities of what occurs when there is logical thinking and why people look at things more logically.  This occurs when you are extremely stable or have a lot of support, something that Mersulat did not have.  I will also explore the rational thinking and decisions that my father made while a new immigrant form Iran coming to the states.  There could have been a lot irrational decisions that he could have made, but he did not, and there is a reason for that, which i will explore in this paragraph.  I also will explore the consequences that occur when making logical and rational decisions and the effects that those decisions have on the future and especially on me in college.

Paragraph 2

In Camus, the narrator and protagonist, Mersualt commits extremely impulsive actions in order to coupe with his boring lifestyle which ultimately leads him to destruction.  These impulsive actions occur at the times where he needs to be respectful and thoughtful, but instead is unthoughtful and disrespectful. ""At his mothers funeral, he should not be smoking a cigarette and drinks coffee, at a time where he needs to be the most respectful.  This demonstrates his lack of regard for human life and is a way for him to coupe with his mistake of sending his mother to the retirement home as well as coupe with his boring and his dull lifestyle.  This impulsive action gives the people surrounding him a better view of what he is feeling inside and thus ultimately, his uncaring nature comes out during trial which finally ends his life.  He also ends another mans life by impulsively shooting his friends gun. "" Killing the arab was completely out of impulse and his actions were not logically thought out.  Mersualt still does not understand why he did it, but that it was just his emotions getting the best of his logic.  This action might have come because of his dull and lackluster life that he lived, where he had no purpose or point of living.  This impulsive action finally lead to his demise and the end of his meaningless life.

paragraph 1

In the book The Stranger, Mersualt is a man who is aimlessly wondering this Earth without a purpose or a reason for living.  His emotionlessness and honesty are quite the arousing characteristics that confuse the author to the extreme.  Although he is very honest, maybe to honest at times that he needs to be lying, put together with his dull personality causes the reader to question Mersults motives.  His naivety is fully exploited in order to demonstrate his inner thoughts, that gives us insight into the reasons for his impulsive actions.  Mersualts decision making contradicts the decision making process that I go through in my life on a daily basis. Every decision that I make is extremely calculated and weighed out.  Mersualts decision making juxtaposes with my decision making, which ultimately affected Mersualts life and my decision making will soon affect my future, Mersaluts makes his decisions based on pure emotion while my decisions are made through pure logic.

Essay

The decsions that Camus makes are very out of impulse and are not logically thought through.  This leads him to commit horrible actions that are detremental to his health and his security.  This is not a good way to make decsions and to live a good life.  In my life, the decsions that i make are the oppsoite to those of Mersault, in that i try to be as logical as possible while makeing all decsions but especailly the desiosn of where to go to school.  You can not be impulsive and just do whatever you feel, becasue that will most likely backfire.

The man seeing the hurricane on the screen, demonstrates that he is looking into his own world and he is troubled.  He is very grateful that he is not in the hurricane, but is wondering why the hurricane happens and their significance on the world.  Why is it happening? Why do hurricanes occur and why is this not happening outside where he is.  His shoulders are shrugging and the grip he has illustrates the deep in thought he is and how he is contemplating his thoughts.  Further the light on the outside juxtaposes the darkness in his head.  His posture further exemplifies the stressful nature.  The stressful nature his world and the world at that time is illuminated through all of these different aspects.

TEA

The guy in the photo is unconscious and his movement with his hand to "strangle" the girl is just a form of what I like to call "Couduling" with her unconsciously.  This means that his love for her should not be in question.  You could tell that they were not in this position when they first started sleeping.  The guy is getting sleep and soundly knowing that heir love is true but the girl who is touching her head demonstrates that she is thinking about their relationship.  They probably just got into a fight and have just made up.  They are on their way to Romania so they were probably trying to figure out what they are going to do when they get there, it has been a long day and now at least of them is going to pass out.
