Killing an Arab

This song is about the book "The stranger" If you want the full effect of this song you should read the book. It's very well put in this song. There are no complex metaphors. The way Albert Camus created the character (Mersault) that killed the Arab, was in a way where none of his feelings are left unknown. The character tells the audience when he's tired when he's hungry, when he's hot. When he shoots the Arab in the book he actually has no reason to kill him at all, no revenge, nothing. But the sun is shining very bright and it's annoying him. The blade the Arab is holding is reflecting the sun onto his face and that's all it took. The whole it amounts to the same part has to do with the philosophy on the absurd, which Albert Camus is trying to show in this book. "I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab" This is exactly how it is. He’s alive, but now that he killed the Arab he's on death row, he's the stranger in society. It's a good song, and a good book I actually remember reading it at the beginning of freshman year and I’m a junior now.
