Journal #14: 6 Questions

  1. Why does Meursalt have a bi-polar attitude towards the sun? It seems like he goes back and forth praising the sun and it's qualities and then slandering it soon after.
  2. Why are the Arabs so obscure and not described really at all when you would think as the reader that they would be described in detail because they are important?
  3. Why does the syntax vary so much throughout chapter 6?
  4. What is the value in including the romantic beach scenes?
  5. What is the meaning of the phrase "funeral face"?
  6. Does Meursalt show more emotion in this chapter than he has through out the whole book because it is a really important part?
