The Stranger - Day 3 - Relationships

In group today you started by sharing personal stories of a random person in your life - maybe someone you see in your neighborhood or who works at a store - someone you see on a somewhat regular basis but don't really "know."

Then we shifted to a look at chapter 3, especially the characters Salamano and Raymond Sintes. After a short discussion of your observations about them, you wrote an original 6-line dialogue capturing the essence of the relationship that character has with Meursault.

Next, I read chapter 4 out loud. After a short conversation about the events in that chapter you discussed these questions:

• How does Meursault experience life?
• What similarities are there between Meursault and Raymond / Salamano?
