Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The big question that the magistrate asked meursault finally was if he believed in God, to which he replied he didn't

Meursault prison cell looked tiny, dirty and unkempt, although it had the view of an ocean. And no, that's not what he expected.

The most difficult item for meursault to lose other than his freedom were his cigarettes and Marie

Having a memory is an advantage because it gave him the ability to think about the past, and that's a new thing for him

The first impression he had of the jury was that he were innocent. He then proceeded to describing them as strangers on a streetcar

The incident that occurred was the one in which he met someone unexpectedly at the funeral, and there, he felt as though he were a stranger
