__As I Lay Dying__ By: William Faulkner

In the last section of the novel it is very hard to understand the ending. Whenever Darl burns down the Gillespie's barn, it reminds me of my crazy step grandma. It seemed like something she would do if she went crazy enough. The relationship between Dewey Dell and Vardaman is interesting because they are very close and Vardaman always listens to her. I would guess this is because they are the two youngest kids in the family. Also, Jewel and Darl's relationship is strange because they are always fighting and competing to be better than the other. I think the author's message has something to with family and how you should do what they ask of you. I dislike Addie because she is never happy. She just thinks that everything and everyone is horrible. I like the character Jewel because he doesn't let people tell him what to do and he is always ready to get things done. If I was Cash in the story at this point i would probably just want to be killed because he broke his leg and they tried to fix it by putting cement on it which just made things worse. Whenever Anse goes to Addie's parents house and takes forever inside talking to her, it reminds me of whenever my dad goes over to my uncle's house to drop something off and then he takes forever to leave. Whenever new people that the family meets along the way talk, they refer to the people in the family as he or she and don't say their names. This novel still continues to be confusing.
