I personally did not like “The Stranger”. It just was not my kind of book. I found it boring and hard to tab. “Their Eyes Were Watching God” was much more enjoyable to read. Although I did not like the book I do think that it has a lot of literary value. I feel as if literary techniques are not as easy to spot and analyze in this book as they were in “Their Eyes Were Watching God”. This caused me to have to dig deeper in the book and really think about it. Maybe this was one of the reasons that I did not like it, but I know that it is making me better at analyzing. I also think that “The Stranger” has a lot of literary value because it is written in such a unique style. I have not read anything like it before so it exposed me to a new type of writing, which also helped me learn how to analyze a new style. I think that “The Stranger” should continue to be taught at high schools because it is different from a lot of other books and it helps students become well-rounded when it comes to analyzing. It also has literary value because it was originally written in a different language and had to be translated. This interests me and made me like the book a little bit more because I am so fascinated by other cultures.
