Without any merit, the environment leads people to make choices that shape their lives and thoughts. Even though Mark Twain and Albert Camus did not live in the same period, their characters' decisions for the novels The Stranger and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were parallel, as were the situations they went through. Both authors insert their interpretation of their own lives into their work and create characters that represent themselves. Meursault and Huck's choices are the result of multiple factors such as; religion, which is a very influential topic in all parts of the world and which strongly led both Camus and Twain to express their ideals; relationships, which are a necessity in life and seem to connect emotionally with the perpetrators seamlessly; along with the errors of current society, both writers remained to be refuted. Throughout the history of mankind, one of the major factors that has influenced the world has been religion, and as times have changed, perspectives and opinions have varied. Albert Camus writes: “For myself, I will not try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion for evil. But I do not share your hope and I continue to fight against this universe in which children suffer and die" (Camus, Resistance 70). Camus grew up in a very laid-back family where religion was not a decree, and as a result, this greatly affected his belief in God. When Camus became slightly ill with tuberculosis, his belief in religion diminished further and he began to express his opinion through Meursualt (May William F). When Meursault says "He wanted to talk to me about God again, but I approached him and made one last attempt to explain to him that I had or... half of the paper... qualities despite their times.
