“If birds of a feather flock together‚ they don’t learn enough” ~Robert Half~ The first thing that comes to mind when reading this quote is a flock of geese. They all stick together. They learn from one another and what they learn they pass on to future generations. While this is how they learn to stay safe‚ they are “stuck” doing the same thing every day. After reading the quote a few more times and looking at it from “outside the box” I realized that the birds represent people. Throughout

Chapter four begins with the opposing side’s lawyer saying that Meursault showed absolutely no sympathy for committing this murder and that he is a very smart man.
