Journal #5 Stranger

I believe that Camus split the novel The Stranger into two parts because they parallel each other. How do they do this you may ask? Well In Part one Camus shows that Mersault is an uncertain fellow. Who is not quite sure what or who to like. And a lot of the periods in the sentences in part one show that Mersault is uncertain of how he thinks. He over depicts certain things almost as if to try to reason to himself. In part two Camus uses more commas than periods. Almost as if to show that Mersault is adapting and learning to mourn better with all the conditions and bumps along the way.
