Journal 11: Temes and Motifs in The Stranger written by Albert Camus

There are many different themes and motifs that I noticed throughout the novel when I was reading The Stranger. Here are the following things that I noticed:
- There is much more narration then dialogue.
- Marseau lives for materialistic objects.
- Sentences are brief and to the point.
- The motif of the sun and it's qualities is repeated throughout the book.

While reader The Stranger I have come up with a plan for tabbing. I will use a green tab to identify any possible themes. I will use a blue tab to identify any motifs or symbols such as the sun or sleep. Finally I plan on using pink tabs to identify the expectations or eeactions of characters.
