The Plague

Always check the calendar for the reading assignment in The Plague. There will be the occasional quiz on the book, and, additionally, the occasional piece of writing as we move through the text. Mostly, the focus will be on annotation and discussion. You'll be writing an essay about the book when you're finished reading, so the more you attend to these tasks of keeping up with the reading, joining in discussion, and annotating, the better off you'll be when it comes to writing.

The way we'll approach much of the book is by considering these factors:
 - What does each character believe (about the world, themselves, the plague)?
 - What does each character do?

For next Monday, read to p. 63 (the end of Part One).

Behold: Albert Camus in his best noirish look.
