= __ Journal Entry #3 & #4 __ = My reaction to my book is varied depending on the questions. The main character reminds me of my neighbor because they both lost someone that they really loved. The main character, Monsieur Meusault, lost his mother and is slowly coming back to his regular routine. My neighbor lost his brother and it took him a while to get back to his regular routine, too. The section where Raymond told Monsieur Meusault about how he was going to get his dog a smaller collar so the dog wouldn’t run away reminds me when my dog ran away. Monsieur Meusault told Raymond that his dog may have gotten lost but he would find his way back. My dog was let out to go to the bathroom and then he was gone. We ended up having to get in the car and go look for him. Monsieur Meusault said to Raymond that the kennel kept the dogs for three days so he could get the dog back. My dog ended up right down the road looking lost and confused. The relationship between Monsieur Meusault and his friend in his apartment is very interesting. They have a love-hate relationship. They are new friends and I don’t think they know too much about each other yet. The love part of their relationship is when they are doing favors for each other or just hanging out. The hate part of the relationship is when they get mad at each other or when Monsieur Meusault upsets the friend by saying something about his dog that was lost.
