Paragraph 2
In Camus, the narrator and protagonist, Mersualt commits extremely impulsive actions in order to coupe with his boring lifestyle which ultimately leads him to destruction. These impulsive actions occur at the times where he needs to be respectful and thoughtful, but instead is unthoughtful and disrespectful. ""At his mothers funeral, he should not be smoking a cigarette and drinks coffee, at a time where he needs to be the most respectful. This demonstrates his lack of regard for human life and is a way for him to coupe with his mistake of sending his mother to the retirement home as well as coupe with his boring and his dull lifestyle. This impulsive action gives the people surrounding him a better view of what he is feeling inside and thus ultimately, his uncaring nature comes out during trial which finally ends his life. He also ends another mans life by impulsively shooting his friends gun. "" Killing the arab was completely out of impulse and his actions were not logically thought out. Mersualt still does not understand why he did it, but that it was just his emotions getting the best of his logic. This action might have come because of his dull and lackluster life that he lived, where he had no purpose or point of living. This impulsive action finally lead to his demise and the end of his meaningless life.
