Journal – A Raisin in the Sun/ A Dream Deferred This poem resonated with me more so than any other so far.

The sun becomes one of the most important motifs in Albert Camus’ "The Stranger". The imagery Camus uses when describing the sun sets the stage for the climax of Mersault’s murder of the Arab.
