@cnielsenLIT @AndrewIsGross Adam is the side of Fiona that is rebellious and care free, the side that I think people have to indulge in once in a while in one form or another. But he doesn't represent a practical or socially acceptable way of life. #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@marissa_osofsky I think it is if you consider the literal meaning of suicide and you consider how Adam was feeling before he decided to refuse transfusion. It isn't if you consider spirituality and the notion that "God has a plan" and interfering is wrong #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

I think Fiona is a good judge because she is heavily affected by emotion and humanness through interaction with others but also is coldly logical when looking directly at facts. #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@AdeleKong99 She still lets him in the house tho. She also fears that this will get out and harm her reputation. I think changing the locks signifies not only locking jack out for a little but also a change in mindset in Fiona. #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@LokrageMachine I think Adams decision was based solely on pleasing others. While he is intelligent and would have much to look forward to, I think he weighs the approval of his parents along with members of religion greater than life itself. #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@biancles1234 @DiannaCacace I agree. Instead of placing an ultimatum on her like he did maybe if he had explained his needs and troubles with their marriage everything would have been much smoother.

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@g_bogut I think grieve is wrong in thinking that though. Spirituality does make a strong argument. That's kind of why the pro-life and pro-choice argument is still relevant today. #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@litwithkale Fiona is definitely apathetic and logical when there's the time for it but she is still influenced by emotion. Do you think the ruling would have been different if she didn't visit Adam? #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@casshollasch I think mersault definitely does not believe in date. He is too logical and practical for that #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@LokrageMachine He also is a very calm and logical person. By having others pity him, they believe that he didn't deserve to die but mersault already accepted the consequences of his actions so he doesn't want pity #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@RakeshSenthilv1 @AndrewIsGross And also to highlight that these concepts that define us are impractical but necessary #laylit18

@litwithlayton everyone’s working on their tweets really hard (and asking if they retweet this if it counts)... prom weekend bro!

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

It's ironic that mersault is named monsieur Antichrist and enjoys being without any sort of passion or feeling both of which was introduced by the magistrate #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

Mersault is very calm and indifferent during his time in jail. In terms of an existential point of view, him bringing death upon a person is almost meaningless to him because it would've happened anyways #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@LokrageMachine On the contrary I think he thinks about future effects, but in a very narrow minded, selfish point of view that doesn't consider the actions of other people, and only considers his convenience. #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

@litwithemily Yeah I agree with Pati. Mersault doesn't like change or commitment as is seen by him denying the move to Paris and him leaving his mother at a retirement home. #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

In health we learned about personality types and mersault seems like a total green. All logical thought and no emotional tendencies along with a bluntness to him that makes him seem inhuman #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

Mersault glanced over the nurses abcess like he missed it the first time. He really seems like a very selfish character.

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

Mersault sees the relationships of others with his mother in black or white. Either good or bad. I wonder if he develops to change this throughout the novel #laylit18

[Raj Patel @Raj102700]

The amount of detachment and calm that the narrator is showing is unbelievable considering his mother just died #laylit18
