especially when it looks futile, and leaves the reader thinking about their own reasons for risking themselves to help others. It begs the question of why people fight so hard to save others. I feel that this book will also strike a chord with those who were on the frontlines of the pandemic or have ever worked/are thinking about going into healthcare. The underlying sense of anxiety and dread, as you never knew who was going to be unceremoniously taken by the disease or how it might mutate to become even more dangerous, coupled with the nonstop movement of the main characters made this such an interesting and unique read because of how perfectly it resembles life during COVID. Albert Camus The Plague: The Learning Resource contains tools teachers have come to expect for exploring a novel with their students. I loved how nonchalant Camus' portrayed some scenes, especially majorly impactful ones like Tarrou's death just as the plague was finally easing up, just writing about them objectively and moving on to the next event. Just finished reading The Plague and I was blown away by how (eerily) similar Camus' descriptions of reactions, feelings, and progressions of the plague in this book were to real life.
