Explain mersault’s response to the chaplain in their final meeting in the story. what does mersault conclude about life as a result of this scene? how is this an expression of existentialist thought? your answer should be at least 250 words.

After speaking with the chaplain one last time, Meursault no longer views his impending execution with hope or despair. Mersault accepts death as an inevitable fact of life and looks to the future with peace in his consciousness. His thoughts about life is that there is no difference between dying soon by execution and dying decades later of natural causes. Althought he states that the only thing that is certainly in life is death. The Scene is an authentic expression of existentialist, because in a   existentialist point of view you must accept the risk and responsibility of  your choices and follow the commitment to wherever it leads.  That´s what Mersault is all about: Freedom of choice without the interference of a third party.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the anecdote makes readers feel sorry for the man’s lack of heritage, then reminds readers that the man has an equally valuable heritage.
