A Certain Lady By Dorothy Parker

I also enjoyed reading this poem. It was about a girl stating how he can do alot of things to fake the love for the man. "Oh, I can smile for you, and tilt my head,
And drink your rushing words with eager lips". She says here how she can do all of these things but still have her mind somewhere else. There are other lines that show that she does not really love him but acting like she does. When she states "And what goes on, my love, while you're away, You'll never know," this shows how she can be cheating on him and he will never know.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines By Pablo Neruda

In this poem the writer is trying to say how he does not have feelings for a certain girl but again is still reminiscing about how he loved her. I think its interesting to see a guy write a poem like this. I think he still has feelings for the girl. When he says i loved her and sometimes she loved me too stating that she did not always love him. Or maybe she did not love him at all but he is trying to make it sound better. In this poem he is stating how this is the last time he will think or write about her. Where he states "Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her." He is saying here that this will be the last time he will write these things about her.

The Stranger by Albert Camus Part Two

In the second part of the book Mersault is arrested and imprisoned for the murder. During his trial he is not worries about his case. He feels that the jury will understand that it wasn't intentional. He does not hire an attorny he gets once that is given by the state. Monsieur is sentenced to death when the trial is over which was decided by the jury. He spends alot of time in jail thinking about how he should feel about this whole thing. While he is in his cell he thinks about Marie and his mother. The priest comes by at one point and is hoping to get something out of him. The day of his execution he realized that he is happy. This is very ironic that at the end of the story he finally is happy when he should have realized this when he had a job not while hes in jail. I feel bad for Mersault that he accepts what is going to happen to him a little too late but better late than never.

The Stranger by Albert Camus Part One Chapter IV - Chapter VI

In this chapter Meursault goes for swimming with Marie. They are starting to get to know eachother but it gets ruined by the fight from Raymond and his "girl". Marie wants to call the police but Mersault does not want to because he does not like police. This reply shows that he doesnt care what happens to the girl just pure selfishness. When Meursault’s boss offers him a job in Paris, Mersault answers “ it was all the same to me”. This shows how he doesnt even care about going to paris or anything else that could make him happy. Again throughout these chapters Mersault is very cold just about everything. The scene where Meursault is walking with Marie is where the climax of the story is about to unfold. everything seems good because of the fact that this is the first time Meursault thinks of asking Marie to marry him. In this scene where Meursault is with Raymond, Mersault agrees to stand aside in case the third Arab comes along. The fight leads to Reymond getting hurt and him acting very dramatically. When Raymond reaches toward his pocket for the gun, Meursault tries to stop him. We see Meursault here trying to do something that is right and very moral. After this leave away from the Arab. After that Meursault decides to go back to the beach, And this is where Mersault brutally kills the Arab. He shoots once and realizes his guilt. We dont understand why he shoots then 4 more times. it questions our perspective about him.

The Stranger by Albert Camus Part One Chapter I - Chapter III

Mersault lives in Algiers. They way this novel starts is with the death of the narraroters mother. After this happens Mersault doesn’t show very much emotion. Meursault shows himself to be indifferent toward emotion and interaction with others. Instead of grieving because his mother died, he is cold and shows now emotion. When he receives the telegram, his concern is figuring out on which day his mother died. If someone like that closed to me died I would be grieving not be so out of place that I don’t know what day my own mother died. There is no way we can really characterize Mersault because if we knew that he was happy about his mothers death we can say how he is immoral. But since he is niether sad nor happy he is simply indifferent. The relationship of him and Marie is also shown as cold and short which makes us very curious about him

Trans Siberian Prose and little Jeanne from France

I enjoyed reading this poem by Blaise Cendrars. It grabbed my attention with the many different ways of expressing imagery. I find it interesting how the poem is about a man who is watching a girl sleep and while at the same time expressing all the things he saw throughout his travels. It is very controversial if he really did go to those places and seen those things or even if he met the girl, maybe he just wanted to make his story seem more interesting to add a love interest. Either way if it was true or not i really enjoyed reading it and the style of his writing to keep the reader focused.
