Tomorrow, we will begin hearing our Fallacy Presentations. Please also bring Fahrenheit 451. Everyone's presentation is due tomorrow, even if your group does not present.

ERWC Period 1

Tomorrow, I will check two pages of your Senior Reflective Essay. These two pages can be of ANY grade level, and can be handwritten. Please work on your Senior Reflective Essay twenty to thirty minutes per night. I will devote 15 minutes of class time for your to read each other's papers.
2. Read the Stranger Chapters 3 and 4. Answer the Following Study questions. I have to give you a quiz on something, so please answer the questions:
Ch. 3
1. How does Mersault feel when he sees Salamano beating his dog? How does he feel when Raymond tells him he beat up his girlfriend? Discuss M.’s attitude in relation to these two events.
2. Discuss Mersault’s relationship with Raymond. How does he feel about being Raymond’s “pal,” and why would he agree to write such a deceitful letter for him?
Ch. 4
1. How does Meursault react when Marie asks him if he loves her? Why do you think she continues to have romantic interest in him? What does it reveal about her?
2. Since he treats his dog so harshly, why do you think Salamano is so upset when the dog runs away? What might this story reveal about us?
