Stranger Journal #1

For the Stranger I plan to tab anything that pops out as important to me.  This worked well for me last time when we read Their Eyes Were Watching God.  I will be looking closely for things such as motifs, metaphors, symbols, figurative language, similes.  Other things I will be looking for are tones and moods that I find through out the book, verb choice/vocabulary and characterization and personification of anything.  I dont color code my tabs but I do write why I tabbed a certain thing and I also highlight within my book becuase I own the books.  I will be specifically looking/searching for and tabbing motifs of sleep, symbols/motifs of the color black.  I will be tabbing characterization of Meursault as well as how he reacts to certain situations and how he acts, also possible answers to his (un)motivation and why he may be acting the way he is.
