My philosophy is called Reedism
Princilples
1. Put your heart in everything you do. Everything you do is important and matters. Do not do something half way. Put everything you have in whatever you do and be proud of what you do.
2. Peolple's lives will be based on bettering the lives of others and the lives of future generations. You should live your life thinking how you can make someone else's life better and easier.
3. Everyone does their part. If eveyone does their part the world will be a much better place. The life for everyone will be better.
4. Everyone is part of a team. We are all linked together and part of a team. Everything we do is for the better of the team as a whole. Do not be selfish and look for personal gain.
5. No quitters. Do not quit on anything. Do not be weak. If you start something you need to finish it. If you are not able to do it you have a team that will help you as well. We are all in this world together.
6. Do what intersts you. We are all a team but we can have different interests. Some will excell at certain things and that's good. Be the best at whatever it is you are good at.
7. Don't tear anyone down. We are all part of a team and in the world together. We will get through the world together. There is no reason to hurt another team mate. Do not tear a team mate down.
Where and why these principles are important.
These principles came from the greatest athelete in NFL histroy, Ed Reed. He is an outstanding role model and should be followed by everyone. These principles are the way Ed Reed is seen and the way others should live. I believe that if everyone followed these rules the world would be a much better place for everyone.

Meursault comes to the conclusion that life is worth living. Living is reason enough to live. Meursault looks at the life of Maman and sees that she started doing the things that she wanted to at the end of her life. This is seen when she takes up a "fiancée" at her retirement home and begins taking an interest in religion. Maman takes an interest in things even near the end of her life. Meursault sees this and comes to the conclusion that we will all eventually die and that we need to enjoy the time that we have. I think Camus wants us to come to the same conclusions that Meursault comes to.

I think Camus wrote the story in two parts to show how Meursault changes as a character. At the beginning of the story he doesn't seem to care about much and thinks things have no meaning. Then after the big event of him killing someone everything changes. Meursault's character changes. He begins thinking about life with a different perspective. He eventually realizes that life has meaning.The difference is shown obviously through syntax. In the beginning Camus uses short sentences with conveys simple thoughts and ideas whereas in the second part the sentences are longer and more complex which shows deeper thought and shows that more is going on with Meursault

Option 1
The sun and light in a sense symbolizes the his ID. The sun was the force that caused him to kill the Arab. The sun and brightness is what causes Meursault to do bad things. The sun causes Meursault to do things that go against society's views of what is good and what is bad. The sun is constant through out the story and is present when Meursault is faced with decisions that society views and acceptable or not acceptable. Meursault is constantly struggling with this through out the story as the sun is a constant present. This symbolism can develop a theme of struggles that are created from society's views on what is acceptable and what is not acceptable for others in the society making them become strangers to the society. Camus also tries to express the theme that people need to conform to society's views in order to be accepted and without that acceptance their life will be difficult.

Marie Cardona
She was a former typist in his office. He had a thing for her when she worked with him. He thought she had a thing for him also. But nothing happened because she left and they didn't have time to do anything about it. She is described as laughing a lot. I think Camus tries to reveal that life is meant to be enjoyed and have fun and shows that through Marie.
Raymond Sintes
He is Meursault's neighbor. They are "pals". His character is described as an angry person. If something wrong happens he is one that will want to get revenge and make that person feel terrible. He is the person that Meursault listens to because what he talks about is interesting. He wants to get revenge on his mistress. Camus tries to reveal a problem with human nature. Sintes isn't able to differentiate between right and wrong and Camus shows this through Sintes.
old Salamano
He is an old man that lives in Meursault's building. He is an angry old man and beats his dog frequently for doing wrong things. He and his dog look a lot alike. Their life is similar day to day. Their life isn't switched up and they follow a certain schedule. Camus is trying to show another problem with human nature. Humans take their problems out on others or animals that they care about because they can't handle it any other way.
