__As I Lay Dying__ By: William Faulkner

As the novel pogresses, new things are added on to the original problem. Since the bridge was some what broken and the river was flooded, some other the people had to go across the broken bridge. As for the wagon, Cash and Darl had to bring it across the river. While they did, the coffin, with Addie inside, fell out and Darl jumped in to get it back. Also, Cash got a broken leg which was mostly caused by getting kicked by Jewel's horse. Unexpected flashbacks tell that Jewel spent all off his nights during the end of summer and all of fall out fixing up land. Once he did this he got enough money to buy a horse. The story also tells how Addie never really wanted to live and she purposely made Anse promise to burry her in Jefferson as her revenge towards him for making her have children which she hated. This novel is some what hard to follow the events because the sotry jumps all over the place when a different person starts talking. The language is also difficult because the way the words are arranged is hard to understand. I would say that thenovel is towards the age group of adults. I'm not really sure of the message of the story yet. New characters, Armstid and Lula, are introduced. Their purpose is to help heal Cash's broken leg and to help get the family back on the road again. I would most likely want to finish this novel because i want to know what the whole purpose of the story is. The plot is holding my attention because i don't know what is going to happen next.
