The Stranger Journal #9 (Thesis Statement)

My thesis statement:
In The Stranger, Albert Camus creates a parallel between Mersault's emotions and his environment in order to show that one's world view is formed by inner thoughts and beliefs, that reality is created within one's self. This is done through the personification of natural elements and the diction used to describe his surroundings in a way that matches his emotions of tranquility, happiness, and anxiety.
