The Stranger - Journal 1

For The Stranger by Albert Camus, I mainly plan to tab by motifs, this seemed to work well when tabbing Their Eyes Were Watching God and I think that now that I have had some practice and will know what to look for it will be much easier to tab.

My first three tabs (blue, green and yellow) will be dedicated to the tabbing of motifs within the stranger. These motifs will be determined as I read through the book and may include (but are not limited to) Meresault's use of racial identification (as in the case of the Arabs), sleep and other forms of escapism from emotional thoughts and Meresault's indifference to religion.

My fourth tab (Orange) will be focused on the use of literary techniques within Camus' writing (or lack thereof) including diction, parallelism, sentence structure and figurative language.

The fifth and final tab (Red) will be dedicated to a variety of things that do not fit with other tabbing sections, this includes important passages, characterization and lines or passages important to the development of theme.
