the philosophy that by meditating and being spiritual one can achieve new understandings about the world

What does this novel have to do with the Middle East and North Africa?

The beaches and Arab characters reflect this geographic location

It was written by a man who lived there

Issues of colonialism since its set when the French controlled the region where the novel is set

Where does Meursault live, and where must he travel for his mother's funeral?

He lives in French-colonized Algeria in its capital city and takes a bus to Marengo

He lives in the outskirts of Paris and travels to the deserts of Morocco

He lives in Canada and must travel by boat to Europe

There are not enough details in the story to infer where he lives

Which detail from the story is a clue that the SETTING of the novel is during or shortly after wartime?

There is a solider on the bus Meursault takes to the nursing home for the funeral

Several bombs detonate, mostly when Meursault and Marie go swimming

Meursault recalls a memory of his younger brother who was drafted into the French army

All of these answers are correct

What is Meursault's reaction to his mother's death?

He is emotionally unaffected and does not appear to cry or even grieve

He is devastated but tries desperately not to show it

He says he never loved her anyway and is glad to be rid of her

In Chapters 1 & 2 of the novel, how does the author establish the personality Meursault?

Camus uses the thoughts and feelings of Meursault which are focused on small unimportant details in his immediate surroundings to show that he has very little sympathetic or emotional attachments

Camus uses Meursault's pet cat as an extension of himself, and whatever the cat does really symbolizes the thoughts feelings, and motivations of Meursault

Camus uses a variety of creative similes and metaphors that compare Meursault to a person drowning in the sea of his own depression and grasping at anything that keeps him afloat

Characters like Thomas Perez, Salamano, Raymond, and the Robot Lady at Celeste's

serve as highly emotional and overly sentimental character foils to Meursault's emotionless and uncaring tone

force the reader to wonder wonder whether caring too much is better or worse than not caring at all

give Meursault a chance to have an emotional reaction to outlandish behavior, as most people would, yet he doesn't, which further establishes his indifference to life

Which type of IMAGERY is NOT used in the novel?

extremely scientific imagery as if a doctor wrote the book

images of light and brightness as oppressive

images of water as lovely, hopeful, and refreshing

auditory imagery of annoying, unpleasant sounds

Which statement explains how Camus FORESHADOWS the Arab's murder?

Camus establishes Meursault's sensitivity to light throughout Part 1, and he ends up killing the ARab essentially because the sun makes him angry

Raymond has got into a fight with the mistress's brother already

There's a group of Arabs hanging suspiciously near the bus stop on the day everyone goes to the beach

What device does Camus use to indicate that Arabs and women were looked down upon by French colonialists?

None of the Arab characters have names, and the only woman in the story given a name is Marie

Camus uses several racist hyperboles to describe how dark the Arab's skin is

Meursault repeatedly uses animal metaphors to describe both the Arabs and female characters in the novel

Despite the fact that the text takes place in North Afrida, there are no Arab characters in the novel at all.
