Six. (part two)
Word Choice: Camus uses simple words to convey Meursault's simple thoughts. (which is irony kinda)
Sentence: Camus decides not to use long sentences for detailing, because Meursault does not think things in detail when he does not care.
Images: Camus describes the appearance of people more often than anything else, because the reader is not familiar with the physical characteristics of Meursault.
Symbols: Camus describes the sun negatively because usually it is beautiful, but in Meursault's eyes, it is something he cannot see the beauty in.
Figures of Speech: Camus creates Meursault as indifferent because this leaves an open interpretation about Meursault's character.
Rhetorical Devices: Camus starts each chapter with a short statement to convey a simplistic feeling of the book.
Patterns: Camus has brightness make Meursault uncomfortable because that is a strong adjective, and Camus is unable to reflect this strength through Meursault's character.
Narrator: Camus uses first person narration to show a non-reachable destination for the reader to get very close with Meursault.
Structure: Camus uses past tense because using present tense is very active, and Camus wants to keep a deactiveness quality with Meursault.
