Mersault's response to the chaplain is the deny of listening about God at his last moments, before his death, he says he does not have interest in the subject or time for it. Mearsault also tells he does not believe in God and when the chaplain claims that God justice is more important than the man justice he says they were the first one to blame him.
Mersault conclude that he lived in a certain way and he could have lived in other way. But now all his life made sense, why he did one thing or not another, now his absurd life was all in place.
This is one expression of existentialism thought because it reveals the absurd of our existences, the brutality of it as it is, with no prior purpose for his actions or life, which the man himself has to biuld and find along his path himself.
This is a compound sentence because it is two independent cluases joined by a conjunction (after). A complex sentence would be one independent clause and one dependent clause joined with a conjunction and a simple sentence is just a sentence with one independent clause.
The statement says:
"School officials need not obtain a warrant before searching a student who is under their authority; rather, a search of a student need only be reasonable under all the circumstances."
Let's break it down:
School officials (people that work at the school, probably security officers of some type or maybe even merely just faculty) need not obtain a warrant (do not need a search warrant) before searching a student who is under their authority (before searching a student who they are in charge of). Rather, a search of a student need only be reasonable under all the circumstances (Instead, the search of the student just needs to be reasonably justified by any and all circumstances and knowledge at the current time).
Hope this helps!!
