The Analysis of the Stranger, John Wilson in The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson Heroes in literary works were once referred to as the "rebel"; however, the rebel has been replaced by the "stranger" in recent literature. In Lois Simmie's The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson, the novel centers on the title character who is alienated, disaffected and an outsider. The author’s depiction of the central character of Wilson as a stranger engages the reader in a different way, by having the reader want to know more about this mysterious and striking figure.

Life often entails societal changes that not only serve as obstacles, but also catalysts that coerce one to readjust one’s attitude. Likewise, the latter can be as simple as moving to a different geographical region, or as drastic as the arrival of a new, authoritarian governing body. Such is the case in the paths of Liesel Meminger in the novel The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Martin Luther during the Protestant Reformation of 1517. Both figures are awakened by external sources that enable them to discern the injustices imposed upon their societies, and choose to adjust their perspectives accordingly, using the power of words to speak out against unjust societal changes. Liesel Meminger is a foster child who, in the midst of a war, comes to understand the dire situation that the Jews
When unpleasant things happen in the world, people often get too wrapped up in themselves that they forget the problems others endure. This occurs in both of the books Night and The Book Thief. During both novels, the authors use tone and dialogue to emphasize how the struggles of others can be overlooked by selfishness.

The sun’s heat has been portrayed as a warming presence that brings peace but in this case, it is portrayed as the exact opposite. In The Stranger, Albert Camus portrays the sun’s heat as a motivator for Meursault's actions by describing how it makes him feel, how it changes the environment around him and how he describes it as the reason that led to the murder of the Arab. First, one way that Meursault can relate to the sun’s heat is the way they feel about people. Meursault feels indifferent about what happens around him, just like how the sun can be indifferent on who it shines its light on.
Through literature, one can receive many valuable lessons that are continuously thought about and learned from. A piece of literature that continuously challenges me to think and consider the nature of life and death is the novel “The Stranger” by Albert Camus.

The main goal of authors in nonfiction is to inform their audience on certain topics (“Elements of Nonfiction”). The audience enters nonfiction with little information on a certain topic, therefore it is the job of the author to cover all aspects of the topic.
