Strangers

I think the strangers are very interesting book so far, I don't understand why he treats his mother the way he does. It doesn't seem as though they have a strong connection or maybe something happen to when he was a child? The fact that he shows no emotion I think he is showing emotion even though it doesn't show, deep down inside him I think he feels something. When he went to his mother funeral he wasn’t paying any mind to his mother death but his surrounding. But after awhile he keeps saying its been like 3 days since my mother dies, as though he realizing that his mother is not there no more and its taking affect on him. “I realized he was crying. For some reason of maman". Bam. I think he is showing emotions as well even though he is a detached person I think he is slowly caring ,he fact that his mother died and its slowly affecting him, there is always someway of having feel.

Like I do question, why the fact people would want to detached and I guess “not really apart if the world”, like how would that feel? I don’t think I would want to know sounds kind of scary, even though Banach might say we are alone but if I see people all around me that’s gives me a reason not to feel alone cause I am interacting with people and feeling emotion at the same time. I think the next chapter of him seeing a murder might bring him more into feeling emotion and not so detached because he actually saw death in front of his face. But I’m not sure that’s just a thought.

During Tuesday advisers, I’m with Andy and he gives us assignments on analyzing people and try to figure things out with what you see and what you get out of it. At the end of the day I do be looking at other people and be a little curious. Being involved with things is what shows people characteristic about themselves. If you was detached I don’t really think that’s showing what you really want to be, I think there must be a reason for everything no matter what. Hopefully while I do more reading, maybe he will show more of him self? Or maybe he will just say like that?

    Hmm... that's an idea I hadn't considered, that someone might WANT to be detached. Maybe being connected can be too hard sometimes? Maybe sometimes it can be painful, and being detached means not feeling pain?
