- 6701: Spotted Horses Vs. Mule In The
- ... using graphically realistic plots and endings, which are consistent to those in real life, interpretive literature achieves a higher literary value than escape literature. Interpretive literature allows its reader too step out of the fantasy world they might be living in and focus on what the world is really about. One might say an interpretive story provides insight to understanding. Not only understanding of ourselves, but our neighbors, friends, family or anyone else we might encounter. Escape literature is the complete opposite of interpretive literature. Escape literature is written purely for entertainment. Escape literature takes it s reader out of the real world and into a fantasy world where everything works and happens just like we want it to. This is a world where the ending always has closure.

- 6704: Essay On The Stranger
- In ¡°The Stranger¡±, Albert Camus misleadingly portrays his existentialistic views of life, death, and the world. Camus portrays the world as ¡°absurd¡± or without purpose Meaursalt, who, as a reflection of Camus, is foreign and indifferent to his own life and death. Meaursalt eventually senses guilt for his crime, not because of the remorse of ... in all dimensions to at least appreciate life. Indeed, his mother¡¯s casket that stood between Meaursalt and the elders foreshadows Meaursalt¡¯s death and his spiritual death. Camus presents an allegory of an absurd world. He attempted to make readers pity Meaursalt. Perhaps through the simply told life of Meaursalt, Camus suggests that life itself is meaningless. In Camus¡¯ essay, the Absurd Man, he states that an absurd man ¡° ...
