1. Camus uses small words to keep his narrator blunt, a moodless. By doing this it also helps to define characterization
2.Camus uses statments to continue upon this for of characterization, giving even more insight into Mersault.
3.Camus uses the image of heat to create a feeling of anger, or anoyance. Just like the sun pops up, anger can flare out as well.
4.Camus does use a few symbols, the sun/heat, and the sea are often mentioned to.
5.Camus does not use figures of speech to show that in everything Mersault's character is bland.
6.Camus does this especialy in the beggining of the first chapter to give great insight into the character, and continues to do this throughout the book.
7.Camus uses the motif of sleep to represent the one place that men can get away from all of their problems.
8.Camus chooses to use Mersault as the first person narator to keep this blunt description of things, if he used anyone else there would be more description.
9.Camus makes days go by fast, because if things are not observed, and just looked at face value, things would go by quickly, nothing pops out.
