  1. TONE – the attitude a writer takes toward the reader, a subject, or a character; conveyed through word choice (diction) and details; also affected by point of view Tone words: sarcastic, satiric, angry, matter-of-fact, light-hearted, sincere, awed, contemplative, etc Example: Consider Chapter 3’s introduction to Raymond. Camus chooses words carefully as in “blood sausage,” “a letter with punch,” writing in purple ink. What tone do these words imply?

  2. LYRICISM: in prose, a poetic, melodic quality that leaves the reader with a strong impression • Lyric: “By now the sun was overpowering. It shattered into little pieces on the sand and water.” • Not lyric: “The sun was very hot as it hit the sand and the water.”

  3. STYLE: the manner in which writers or speakers say what they wish to say; the author’s way of using language Style includes: imagery, syntax, sentence length, rhythm, punctuation, repetition, tone, diction Ex: Hemingway said “write the truest simple sentence that you know” and that one can only “write what you truly felt.” His style is simple and straightforward with uncomplicated word choices. Based on this statement, is Camus’ style similar to Hemingway’s or different? What style does Camus use for his dialogue? How does it change from part 1 to part 2?

  4. ANTIHERO: a protagonist that lacks the traditional heroic qualities such as bravery, strength, cunning, wisdom, and extraordinary physical ability; a failure who cannot overcome the pressure of outside circumstances Characterization: the way an author presents characters. In direct presentation, a character is described by the author, the narrator or the other characters. In indirect presentation, a character's traits are revealed by action and speech.
