Before leaving the office to go to lunch, I washed my hands. I really like doing this at lunchtime. I don’t enjoy it so much in

the evening, because the roller towel you use is soaked through: one towel has to last all day. I mentioned it once to my boss. He told me he was sorry but it was really a minor detail. (The Stranger, Part One, p. 25) Which of the following themes is best represented by the excerpt? denial family duty guilt the absurd

the absurd

This detail about handwashing and the roller towel is absurd. This is not an important detail just like the boss says. It's an absurd thing to be organizing his day around and telling the reader about. However, the detail does add to the characterization of the narrator. There is no denial happening in this little anecdote about handwashing. There is also no duty or guilt. He doesn't seem to feel any duty towards anything and he's certainly not feeling guilty, nor is the boss.

The Most Remembered and Most Often Quoted Statement

<em>The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. </em>I think that every American is well aware of the Gettysburg Address. They may not remember much about anything anyone else said, but we all remember the contents of Lincoln's remarks. It is taught in almost every school and at every grade level (nearly). It is as unAmerican to claim that no one will remember it as it is to claim that we do not have a democracy anywhere on earth. Not substantiated. At least in Lincoln's case.

<em>that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.</em> This is the hardest one to make a comment about. It didn't look that way when in 1870 the 15th Amendment was passed. It sounded like slaves and others (Native Americans for one) were granted immediate freedom with the right to vote, but the states had ways of fighting back. It was not until the mid 1960s that this opinion began to be just words on a paper. I'd it was substantiated, but it took generations before you could say it really was so.

<em>That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. </em>It remains to be seen whether this one is true or not. Great challenges like ahead. I don't think you could say either way.
