@LokrageMachine I agree, he dreamt about living with her which shows his consideration of her as a mentor or parental figure. At the age of 18, most people do not have enough exposure to the real world to formulate their own opinions and they are instead influenced by those of their parents.

@namralit I agree, it also makes one pay attention to each day's happenings that one may quickly brush past in a hurry. Many people don't appreciate or even recall or recognize things that happen on a daily basis. This movie brings attention to this concept of mindfulness

@SmrutiRajpara @MichaelAtlas8 I think the treatment decision went to the court because the hospital that Adam was at did not want to leave him to die when there was a life saving treatment available. However I do agree at the same time that he should be able to refuse consent to treatment if he wants to.

Fiona's transitioning from being middle aged to an older adult, and Adam's tranisioning into adulthood brought the two together. Their kiss symbolized Adam's wants of maturation and Fiona's wants of feelin younger, causing them to emotionally reach towards one another #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

Fiona's life exemplifies the need for people to have a balance between their work lives and home lives. #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@litwithkale She holds immense power in society and in the lives of others and is very different from other female characters we have read about before. Her independence is emphasized by the author.

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@namralit I agree, but I also think that the fact that she is so career orientated takes a toll on her personal life. She is constantly being challenged with saving people from life or death, that she seems to not put as much effort in fixing her own relationship with her husband at home.

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

Fiona's conflict in choosing whether or not to kill Matthew parallels her current dilemma in deciding whether or not to end the relationship with her husband #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

The sudden thought of execution by mersault creates several changes in his character. From his newfound emotions and recollections of memories with his father, the reader can see some life left in the narrator. #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

The changing view of Mersault's jail cell from the sea to the sky both before and after the trial, parallels his sentence as it shows his impending death #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

I find it ironic how the only person who Mersault seems to care about, Marie, is the one who's testimony has one of the greatest tolls on his verdict #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@litwithkale I agree, evidence was brought up about the narrator's actions after his mother's death as well as his endeavors with Marie and had no direct relevance to the murder

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@namralit He realizes, when in possession of the gun, that he could either shoot or not shoot showing a dilemma and juggling of morals. However his personality reflects when he describes shooting the man as "knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness"

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@catherinetherye I think the woman's robotic actions are similar to mersault. However, I believe that her character foils that of Mersaults because she shows care for what she does and when she will do it, whereas the narrator expresses indifference towards life.

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

Interesting how after refusing to call the police because he doesn't like them, Mersault agrees to support Raymond in their conversation after. It again shows his emotionless personality #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@stoodypatel I agree, it also shows the monotonous tone of the narrator and in a way emphasizes his emotionless personality.

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@ShreeRaghavan3 I agree, it shows how lowly women were valued in society at the time, as was represented by the parallel between the abused woman and the abused dog.

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

Even though the narrator may not outwardly express his feelings, he seems to cope with his emotions by smoking #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

The pink and white plastic angel Raymond has over his bed deeply contrasts his abusive personality #laylit18

[Nikitha Harikumar @nikihkmr]

@sameershah27 I think it is a deeper issue because he describes her as being a lot happier at her own home. He also acts callously towards his mother's death further signifying the possibility of a deeper story in their relationship
