Found out that Murray’s cynical acting was largely spontaneous because the filming of the movie was not very kind to him. 3 bites from the groundhog, actual pelted snowballs from the kids, and being the 2nd choice for the film forced Murray to hate director, HaroldRamis #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@lsuseckaplit @StephaniWickman i’ve been thinking about this and i’d have to agree. also, due to their MASSIVE age difference, it’s sort of like two different generations coming together so they have a lot of spontaneous moments to share #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@ZoeVallejo3 I think it will 100% stay the same as he has now seen the effect, regardless of positive or negative, he has had on others in his life through thousands of different hypothetical days #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@brynnebriegs to be honest, knowing everything would be reset AROUND me, I would go around seeing how many different series of events I could make happen. I would also learn how to play the piano and join a jazz band for at least one day #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@casshollasch well perhaps Ian McEwan describes the life of a judge perfectly through Fiona and her stockings and simply strict lifestyle, but maybe through Fiona he is able to visualize and describe life through a female lens, and maybe McEwan sees Fiona as the average working woman #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@litwithkale Although this might be true, I know for a fact that there’s a human aspect to every judicial action taken. Even when ruling in law, some rulings are very controversial like the death penalty, you need to keep a humanitarian aspect #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@litwithrahul Well this could be said about anything in society with 18 and 21, but Adam, knowing when he’s going to die, is able to live his life without any fear, something Fiona is unable to do #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@LokrageMachine I agree, but I think Adam continues to refuse the transfusion because he’s able to explore his life further knowing he’s got an “expiration date” on his life #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@ZoeVallejo3 @janwei_ i agree, the deaths are an important aspect of Meursalt's life because he has never had any family in his life, so loss of life or connection simply doesn't apply to him because he's never had enough time to dwell in society in his entire life #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@AndrewIsGross similar to what Pati said, but i feel like Mersault is this person that dwells within each and every one of us, but we have been so entrenched by societal standards we think that it's insane to become him. he is a distant possibility that could very much happen #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

"You should never play games"..... I know see where Mr. Layton gets it from #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@GrantDong2 @Carrickjh i would have to agree considering Mersault's oddly cynical nature that is supposed to be largely representative of Camus himself, thus whenever Mersault is present in such situations they're presented in a "different manner" #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@catherinetherye i think on the contrary: Mersault is so captivated by this "alien" idea of someone planning out their entire life before them and living it exactly so simply because Mersault himself lives in the present and could never do what the woman in the restaurant does #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@ashyang_ i'd have to agree, but it's also, like i've said before, a lot about what people value and why. Mersault has detached himself from the world and values things much different than others, simply because of his knack to enjoy in the moment and enjoy temporary pleasure #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@rmccafferyhtps represents a lot about the things he values / remembers in life such as shaving and socks. while this might be a situation where Mersault's life could change forever from this experience, he treats it as a simple flip of a coin #laylit18

[Zoe Vallejo @ZoeVallejo3]

@Carrickjh @kpatton00 I remember the intro to the book mentioning how the short sentences and syntax of the book was made to emphasize a more masculine tone for the narrator #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

@jillbooseLIT well not entirely. in the beginning of chapter 3, Mersault finds some genuine joy in something as minor as being able to wash his hands. although he's got a seriously adamant exterior, i think mersault is bound to crack eventually and these minor reactions show that #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

an example of the negative connotations of the Heat: "But today, with the sun bearing down, making the whole landscape shimmer with heat, it was inhuman and oppressive" (Page 15). (3) #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

like @LokrageMachine had mentioned in his tweet, Albert Camus has had a rough and unforgiving life, something that can be seen through Mersault's indifference to a death of such importance. Camus came to this conclusion of the unforgiving nature of life during WW2 (1) #laylit18

[YungHamlit @RowingHills]

i believe that on top of someone as heartless as Mersault's boss, the "Heat" absolutely represents this theory of life's unforgiving nature due to the many obstacles it presents on a day as tragic as the death of Mersault's mother (eg. Thomas Pèrez's fainting) (2) #laylit18
