According to Camus in "The Myth of Sisyphus," "…fate...is a human matter which must be settled among men....At the subtle moment

when man glances backward over his life...he contemplates that series of unrelated actions which becomes his fate, created by him, combined under his memory's eye and soon sealed by his death ...he concludes that all is well." Apply this philosophy to the character of Meursault.

Answer:

Both accepted fate to be ultimate in determining one's life course

Explanation:

In the Myth of Sisyphus, Sisyphus was eternally condemned by the gods to push a rock up a hill, only to have it fall down on him again. Meursault however, is a person who is accused of murder, sent to jail for over a year, and is then executed. What both these characters have come to realize is that they are forced to live in these situations created by fate, therefore they might as well enjoy or at least get used to them.

Meursault is forced to live in a cell without any pleasures, such as his cigarettes or the love of a woman. When this happens, Meursault recalls what his mother told him.

She said that one could get used to just about anything. When Meursault realizes and understands that this is just part of his punishment, he becomes indifferent, as he always does, and accepts his situation. Though Meursault had mentally accepted his situation, his body still suffers withdraw symptoms and sexual urges. Eventually however, his body got used to it as well. He passively defies punishment by accepting his situation and enjoying himself in jail. That is when Meursault's punishment isn't a punishment anymore. When Meursault is condemned to death, he does not act surprised, although he wishes he did not have to die. After a while he accepts that too. It did not matter to him that he is going to die, since he reasoned that he would have to face the same dilemma in a few years anyway.

One part in every hundred; an amount expressed as one-hundredth.
Free_Kalibri [48]

The correct option is A.Percent

<u>Explanation:</u>

Generally If we are about to divide an amount into 4 equal parts, then we can call it as one -fourth or each part as a fourth, In case if the same amount is divided into 10 equal parts then it is called as one-tenth or anything similar to that, if the same amount is divided into 100 equal parts then it is called as one-hundredth, or one part in every hundred, is also termed as a percentage, that is 1 / 100.

kipiarov [429]
If this is a true or false question, the answer would be true. Maurice Sendak won the 1964 Caldecott Award for his illustrations in his book, Where the Wild Things Are. He wrote the story and illustrated it himself. At the time, he was considered to be the most distinguished children's book writer and illustrator in the United States. Hope this helps.

Prices at the mall were outrageous,______considerably higher than at other shopping centers.
Marrrta [24]

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. We are supposed to fill in the blanks with the appropriate word or phrase:

Prices at the mall were outrageous,______, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.

A. or at least

B. in other words

C. not to say

Answer:

Prices at the mall were outrageous, A. or at least, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.

Explanation:

<u>"Or at least" is used when we add similar information to what has already been said, but not identical. It is as if we are rethinking what we said and specifying it better, being careful to not exaggerate. </u>

For example: "He hates ice cream, or at least I think he does, because he never has ice cream when he is with me." "Or at least" was used in the sentence to explain why I think he hates ice cream and to show that maybe the first piece of information was an exaggeration.

<u>This is the best phrase to use in the sentence given in the question. The speaker first says the prices are outrageous, be then he thinks again and uses "or at least" to show that the prices are higher than in other malls. Perhaps they were not outrageous after all.</u>
