Stranger Journal #7

Camus splits the book into part 1 and part 2 to show Meursalt has changed throughout the different parts. Meursalt begins to have varying thoughts and emotions, during his trial, at one point he had the need to cry for the first time. Through the changes of his physical and emotional life, Meursalt is seen as a dynamic character through Camus' decision in splitting the book into two parts. Also, in part 2, the sentences seem to be longer than in part 1 and the pace of the bookseems to be faster in part 2 than part 1.
