A Day on the Beach (The Stranger pg. 40-60)

"He looked upset and told me that I never gave him a straight answer, that I had no ambition, and that that was disastrous in business. So I went back to work" (pg.41). This specific quote from the book caught my attention as soon as I read it. Its the perfect example of how Monsieur Meursault sees his life. It is the first time in the book that I see that someone is straight forward to Monsieur Meursault, it clearly shows how he really does not get excited or motivated about anything. How can a person marry someone he doesn't love? How can he not love Marie if he spends almost all weekends with her? How can she not care? This book has really given me reasons to believe there are many people aroung the world who just live day by day without even realizing what they are living, they just "go with the flow". Personaly, I like people who have an influence on life, who know what they want and what they want to do. For this reason I do not like Monsieur Meursault personality.
Furthermore, a murded occured. Monsieur Meursault, ended killing an arab guy who he didn't even know. I was impressed when this happend because I didn't see it comming. It was obvious Raymond was on to something but I never imagined Monsieur Meursault was going to get involved.
