Answered:
1. Camus uses the significance of Salamon's dog to show and analogy of how society restrains Mersault in life. Maybe?(Taylor F.)
2. Camus separates the book after he shoots the Arab to show how while he is in jail he develops and loses his indulgences and changes as a person. (Tania P.)
3.Camus uses short, choppy sentences to show how Mersault is not able to comprehend with his emotions. (Matt M.)
