Ogden Hall was a kind natured and senile man, if it hadn’t been for that one idea that slithered its way past his cranium and poisoned his brain, like a serpent searching for its last supper and finally striking. He knew it wasn’t right, hell, he hated that he was obsessed with something so destructive and cruel, but he couldn’t help himself. He needed to do it, desperately. The life as a coast guard living in a lighthouse on a desolate coast, seems simple and easy, maybe even taskless, but for a man with a troubled mind, and an incurable fixation, existence seems like an unavoidable entropy.

Ogden quickly glanced out of the window and was surprised to see rain and what looked like a storm forming. He the took a swift look at the clock on his desk. It was already six in the morning. With a sigh of defeat, once again he has to come to terms that it was another unsuccessful night. He was starting to hobble down the stairs with weary legs, ready to head to bed and sleep through the sunrise and awake at sunset, repeating his usual routine. Just as he was halfway down the spiraling wooden staircase of the lighthouse he heard a muffled, “Mayday, mayday, mayday!”. Could it be? Am I imagining this?

The second some portion of this book is more centered around how Augusts cherished one feel about him and with him. I welcome the writer for taking from August family and companions point of view since it will help perusers comprehend the story better with more noteworthy profundity and feeling.

I trust that on the off chance that it was my kin in August spot I would act likewise to August's kin and folks. It is just characteristic that we think more about our blood relations than whatever other relationship.

In the next scene, the conversation is about Bernstein visiting their son. Emily doesn’t like the idea, however, Kane does.

The sun is a reliable indicator of Meursault’s feelings. It can make him sleepy, angry, happy, or even resentful. This is very important for a man with such a limited range of emotions. It seems as if he uses the sun to justify the feelings he experiences, as well as the murder he commits. The sun plays a key role in not only his feelings but also in his decision-making. He said, “… my nature is such that my physical needs often got in the way of my feelings.” This is very important in seeing just how significant the sun is in relation to Meursault’s actions.
