Stranger Journal 3

All three titles have the same idea of being different from everyone else. They all suggest that the being could be new to an area and that to other people they are not different and are well known.

Many people can be seen as the Stranger, Outsider, or the Foreigner.

• The Pied Noirs are foreigners to Algeria who eventually start to make the Arabs become outsiders.


• Meursault is different from everyone because of how he sees life.


• The Robot woman was a stranger that was peculiar in her habits.


• Some of the things the characters do like abuse women are things that we do not normally see. To us that action is foreign.


• Salamano and his dog are outsiders because they keep to themselves.

How would the connotations of the title change if it was the Outcast?
I believe it is fairly because is someone is out casted it takes effort from a group of people while being a stranger, outsider, and foreigner would happen without effort by any being for they are naturally different from the rest of the population.
