Write a paragraph on patterns
in Camus
·
30-minute in-class writing (which you can revise
at home and turn in next day)
1.
Paper copy or type and email to instructor
2.
By the end of the week, post to your blog
·
TEA Body paragraph style: 1) ASSERT (topic
sentence makes a claim), 2) EVIDENCE (quote(s) or examples, 3) ANALYSIS
(discuss and explain evidence, and 4) CLOSER (explain how your assertion
explains the text and/or the narrator).
·
1st: Focus on a topic or a pattern
you’ve detected in the writing (and that interests you).
·
Choose one:
1.
How does the writing style match the narrator’s
view of life? Analyze examples.
2.
How do Meursault’s physical needs take
precedence over social or emotional needs? Analyze examples.
3.
How does Meursault relate to people (Marie,
Maman, Salamando, or Raymond)? Analyze one or two examples.
4.
A different pattern that you detect in the text
and Meursault.
·
Analyze your example(s).
·
Craft an assertion to open your body paragraph.
·
By the end of your paragraph, write a closing to
your paragraph connects your assertion, evidence, and analysis to what we are
learning about Meursault as a character.
·
Revise your paragraph for clarity, grammar,
sentence structure, or meaning.
·
Email your paragraph to the instructor and post
it on your blog.
STYLE: How
does the writing style perfectly match Meursault’s point of view? ‘I was tired.’ (12)
PHYSICAL: Find
examples of how Meursault’s physical needs are more important than his
emotional needs. Washing hands. (25) Heat and light bother him. Hunger (47)
Smoking. Physical thrills/attraction.
SHOULD: Meursault
wonders about social conventions and “shoulds.” Should he have viewed the body?
RELATES: How
does Meursault relate to others?
HABITUATION: Repetition
and routine gets you used to anything. (Salamano)
YOUR CHOICE: Find
a pattern in the book and analyze examples of it
