ya so I have to write this essay and I'm completly lost

Question

Were reading the story The Stranger which I have already finished about a week ago I remember this guy who meets this one guy and a dog and the main charecter dosent' care if he gets maried to this girl who want to marry him called marie or something

i also remember he killed some arab guy and went to jail and he went to trial and got the death sentence and the book basically leaves you off with the day before he gets killed by the razor thing that chops off your head

Oo
so I'm asked
"Are you a responsible person?"
OMG wat kind of essay is this
and also I have to combine this question with this one to write the essay
"How well did Meursault handle his responsiblities?"

I honestly don't know how to go about writing such a simple essay...
I remember the guy went to this house were he saw an arab after this one guy got cut up in the face and he walks down to the beach and shoots this arab guy who was mad because his sister was like by this guys freind...

I also remember that his mother died and he didn't care and couldn't afford to take of her anymore

so I'm completley lost this essay seems so simple yet so complicated...

help me i'm lost

Answer 1

Are you referring to the novel called The Stranger by Albert Camus?

It sounds as if you need to reread the whole story and then decide how you're going to structure your paper. I think I'd address the second question during the first 2/3rds of my paper and the first question during the last 1/3rd of my paper. But I'd have to read the story first, since I've never read it at all!

Please re-post with an outline or a plan for the paper, and someone here will be able to give you feedback.
