Is Truth Stranger than Fiction? You Decide
As any parent of a college-bound high school student can attest, truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction. In the process of applying to colleges, many families have experienced enough ups and downs to literally fill the pages of a book. Author Karen Stabiner has used some of those real-life stories as inspiration for her new novel, “Getting In,” which tells the story of five fictional high school seniors making the journey toward college.

The Stranger (L’Étranger) is the first novel written by Albert Camus, French Algerian author, philosopher, journalist and football player who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. He was a key philosopher of the 20th-century. The novel portrays the story as well as the outlook, and the extentialism, of the main character Meursault.

Albert Camus's novel, The Stranger, and Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Godot, are both great literary works but has many differences and similarities that distinguish the two. These characters are very different from their society and in that same way the are very similar. To understand in what ways they are similar, there must be and understanding of how they are different from the society in which they live in.

How to choose a career
Finding a job is not the same as finding a career. A career is a broad field in which I would like to work in; unlike a job which is just a task that I am getting paid for.

The most important choice that I have to decide, in order for me to be happy with my life and also be successful, is to think about myself and my decision. I just have to know how my decision will affect the people around me. I believe that I’d thoroughly consider every aspect of what makes me happy. Treasured attributes that I would apply to make my choice are wealth, respect, and caring for others and my varying interests.

In his book, The Long Tail, Chris Anderson wrote about the dawning of this new age. He said that what people want is not more information, but a trusted guide who can give context to the content.
