Journal 9-Thesis Statement

In The Stranger, Albert Camus uses the color red to represent sadness and illustrate how Meursault deals with the grief from his mother's death.  This emphasizes that Meursault does have emotions, and the repetition of red represents his grieving process.  Camus does this to convey the idea that different people deal with their emotions in different ways.

  1. I like the idea of revealing the grieving process. That said, you need to reveal more in your thesis. You say "illustrate how Meurault deals with the grief" but instead I want you actually reveal how he does. And how red = grieving process. Give more details.
