nate’s Reviews > The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays > Status Update

BRO figured this out in my english class

an absurd reasoning:
thesis: suicide is a choice made to escape the absurd
antithesis: hope is a choice made to ignore the absurd
synthesis: revolt is living with the absurd

the myth of sisyphus:
(synthesis becomes new thesis)
antithesis: we live because we are happy

starting absurd creation. it’s 11pm and i have school tomorrow 😀

HALFWAY DONE (65/130)

bro presents a billion ideas and then ends the section with “yeah but my real questions are: Can man live with the idea of the absurd or does the knowledge of it lead to death? & Is there logic behind suicide??”

like dude. we get it. now please try and actually answer your own questions 😭

gotta finish this bitch TODAY

word of advice: do NOT pick this book for your AP Lang & Comp summer reading book, it is not easy or a “quick read”.

i really enjoyed the section on page 34-35 abt religion and its use by man as a sort of justification for the hatred and unfairness in the world was super interesting. “His proof is his inhumanity” LOVE

why did i pick this for my summer reading. this hurts my brain 😭
