1. What evidence is there that Meursault didn’t care about his mother?
  
   The evidence that Meursault didn't care about his mother was when Meursault refused to accept the offer to let the casket be open to see his mother. meursault also declined to see his motehr one las time before the casket was sealed permanently.He showed no sign of emotions suchs as sadness and sorrow towards his mother, instead he was cold, detached and indifferent.

9.  Is there a possibility that Meursault may end up be thrown in jail along with Raymond? Explain.

     Meursault may end up in jail with Raymond. This is because Raymond wanted to take revenge against the Arab who wounded Raymond. Raymond was walking around with an illegal weapon, so that he could take revenge. However, Meurault asked Raymond to give his gun to him, that way the brawl would not had been bloody. When they saw the Arabs, Raymond and Meursault began to discuss things. At that point, Meursault realized he could either shoot or not shoot. Suddenly, the Arabs did not get affected by their presence, instead they just retreated, same goes for Raymond. however, Meursault wanted to take a long walk. Again Meursault saw the Arab and both had stared at each other's eye. The Arab had a knife, and the shining of the knife had reflected on Meursault's forehead. Meursault had an advantage and he gripped his gun inside his pocket. As Meursault took one step, he began to pull out his gun and the trigger gave. In that sharp but deafening noise, that it all started. The perfect silence in this beach was destroyed again when he fired four times.
