__As I Lay Dying__ By: William Faulkner

As the novel ends, nearly none of the ends are tied together. I was not satisfied with the ending. It really did not reach my expectations. I expected to understand the whole point of the story at the end but i do not. I think the theme has something to do with family and how you should give what you can for them. All of the main characters in the story were round and I would say also static. No one really seemed to change. The best part of the story was probably the characters. They were what made the story interesting by their different personalities and actions. The worst part of this book was the plot line. None of it really made sense. I'm not sure on the resolution or the conflict or climax. If i had to chose a part as the climax it would probably be whenever Addie died. Then again, it could maybe be whenever Darl went crazy and burnt down the farm. Also, the dialect was hard to understand. The way the characters talk is very different from the way i talk. What was also hard to understand was the way the story jumped around and sometimes did not clearly state who was speaking or who someone was speaking about. This novel, though, could be a believable story.
