Journal #11

Explain how you are tabbing The Stranger, written by Albert Camus.

I decided to be more specific when tabbing this time so I chose
blue for symbols and motifs, specifically those that relate to self-indulgence, i.e. smoking, sex, sleeping. (More will be added to the list as necessary)
green for anything that may signal possible themes, like Meursault's unusual appreciation for the naturalness/physical details. (More themes will be added to the list)
orange for figurative language/syntax/diction, i.e. repeating phrases, parallelism, narrative voice.
pink for characterization, specifically when Meursault feels indifferent towards anything or when he expresses an idea regarding society.
