AP Lit

We've read and made notes on Part 1 (1-60). We have read the novel on a symbolic level--looking for examples of imposing meaning on a meaningless universe, watching Meursault attempt to stay uninvolved and we have witnessed the murder of the Arab.

Read and re-read page 30. Notice the light imagery and that every time the sun is described there is a blade or spear or knife image attached. The sea is described as being on fire (more light images).

Look for sun and crying motifs in part 1.

Homework: Start reading Section 2. Have the first chapter read for tomorrow (7 pages).
