Stranger Journal #7

Why does Camus create a part 1 and a part 2? Identify parallel ideas or scenes that occur between the two parts. What does Camus accomplish by comparing ideas between the two parts?

There is parallel ideas in the first part to the second part with the sky. When Meursault is thinking the sky reflects different colors and when Meursault is in the cell thinking about telling the chaplin he doesn't want to see him he looks up at the sky and reflcts on the color. All the colors what are deamed peaceful colors. Green, gold, blue. Camus also takes Meursaults seperation from humans to another level. First it is just emotion and then it is physical seperation.

Camus accomplishs a more dynamic character who changes quicker in the second part. Meursault changes a lot more in the second part when he is by himself. He is less willing to listen to other people. In the first part he listens to people even if its not what he wants to do or cares for doing. When the derector in the begining say do you want to see your mom he does even though he really doesn't. But later on with the warden and the chaplin he doesn't listen to them at all and refuse to even make an attempt.
