Journal #3: Why do you think Camus divided his novel into two parts? Use textual evidence to support your answer (consider how does Meursault changes, what are some parallel ideas and scenes, etc.).
I think Camus divided his novel in order to emphasize the change that Meursault has. We see the change in Meursault through the synatx in the beginning and end of the novel and in the language itself. "Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know" (pg. 3). "Right after my arrest I was questioned several times, but it was just so they could find out who I was, which didn't take long" (pg. 63).
