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.
Answer:
1. Direct characterization
2. Indirect characterization
3. Direct characterization
4. Direct characterization
5. Indirect characterization
Explanation:
In direct characterization, the author simply tells the readers which personality traits a character possesses.
In indirect characterization, however, the author describes different situations to show us the personality of a character. This is achieved through the character's speech, thoughts, actions, effect on others, and appearance.
For instance, to describe Jolene, the author uses direct characterization, as he/she simply lists her character traits - attentive, helpful, etc. When it comes to Shana, however, the author describes her reaction when her dog disappeared, and it is our task to conclude which character traits she might possess.
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is (A) She wants to protect her unborn child.</u>

Mary is about six months pregnant when she finds out that her husband is going to leave her.
This comes as a shock to her. She is very agitated and impulsive at this point.
Hence in the heat of the moment, she kills her husband.
<em>She did not want to go to prison because she can not bear the fact that they will take her child away from her.</em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em>She even thinks that they might kill her unborn child.</em>
She could not bear the thought of this, hence she decided to cover up the murder.
