Im reading the book The Stranger. This book is by Albert Camus. I have read around a third of the book. So far the main characters mom died and he traveled to see her after her death. She lived in a kind of nursing home and had lots of older friends. They first had a ceremony for mostly the friends of his mom and him with the caretaker and a few nurses. I like the book so far but it is kinda of confusing to me I dont really understand where the ceremony is taking place and it's sorta of awkward to me. I think Albert wrote this book to show that there is always a tomorrow and you should learn to forget what you cant fix, this is shown when he loses his mom and he also ends up losing his dog later in the book. I think that this is also the theme of the book to learn to move on through struggles. I havent really met any other characters besides the main character, Raymond. Raymond has grown because he was strong with his mothers death and learned to get through it. I would like to know why Raymond didnt spend as much time with his mother before he death.
