Stranger Journal 7

Camus decides to split the book into two parts to better show how Meursault has changed throughout the different parts. Meursault seems to begin having various throughts and emotions, at one point during his trial, he had his first urge to cry in his life. Meursault, through his changing philosophy of his emotional and physical life, is shown as being a dynamic character through Camus' decision to split the book into two parts and his developing thoughts in part two. Also, Camus writes longer and more descriptive sentences in part two than he does in part one, while the pace of part two is also faster than the pace in part one.
