The Stranger (outline, thesis, best ideas)

Outline:

Intro paragraph: introduce the essay by speaking about part I first -- general statements about him being detached. Perhaps begin speaking about his unusual indifference with his mother's passing? Then, towards the thesis, become more specific about part 2 and how he reveals more emotion.

First body paragraph: explore Meursault in part 1 to eventually make the connection... quote about his mom passing away and another one describing Marie.

Second body paragraph: explore Meursault in part 2 in the prison... one quote about how he feels in the prison itself... he starts to have these epiphanies about his life and then another quote about Marie (a perfect way to compare his detached self in part 1!)
