“As I Lay Dying” by Faulkner pages 141-168

In this section we learn that Darl, Anse, Jewel, Dewey Dell, Tull, Cash, Vernon and Vardaman, and Addie in the casket are tyring to cross the bridge but everything goes bad.  Dewey Dell, Vardaman and Anse cross to the other side of the river bank. While the rest are trying to do something with the rope (which I didn’t really understand). Cash falls down and breaks his legs. In his small, one sentence, narration all he says is that the cakset wasn’t on balance and that he told them it wasn’t on balance before  but they didn’t listen.

“As I Lay Dying” by Faulkner Pages 105- 140

In this section we learn that Anse didn’t want Jewel to ride on his horse he wanted him to sit with them in the wagon.  In the wagon they had Addie’s casket.  She was dead already for three days and the smell is horriable. We also got a narration from a character not in the book, Samson. They stayed overnight at his house. Samson said the smell of the corpse was so strong that he couldn’t tell if he was imagining it or really actually smelling it. He also couldn’t believe that they are going on this long journey to bury Addie.  Dewey Dell probably has her own agenda for going to Jefferson since she wants an abortion. Jewel was very sleepy and always feel alseep, because he cleaned 40 acres of land of Mr. Quick.  Jewel did this so that he can buy a horse and he did. Anse got very mad when he found.

“As I Lay Dying” by Faulker pages 75-104

In this this section of the book we learn that Cash is very robot like.  He lists everything by numbers. For Example, 1. “There is more surface for the nails to grip.” 2.”There is twice the gripping-surface to each seam” etc all the way till number 13 which was “It makes a neater job.” Varadaman who is the youngest, wrote only one sentence in his narration. It was “my mother is a fish” and thats it.  He basically thinks that because he went fishing and catched a fish the day his mother died, his fish he caught has something to do with her death. Then Tull narratored and said that the bridge (Anse wants to take Addie to Jefferson to burry her) is  not sturdy. Cash made Addies casket loook like “clockshape” and a small drawing of the casket is shown. Cora talked about god…”I’m bounding toward my God my reward.”

As i lay dying page 105 to 140

In this section the family was taking Addie Bruden to bury her. They are all together in one wagon except for Jewel he followed along with his horse. While Darl was there laughing at him on the horse, and sitting right next to his dead mother’s coffin. They couldnt get across the bridge because of the flooding that they had so they spent the night at the Samson’s. His wife was a little annoyed at him for having them stayed there with the dead body. She felt that was wrong. Than later on in the chapters DArl and Cash kept on having flashblacks on Jewel’s life when their mother was alive. How much she loved him and what she would to keep him out of trouble; no matter what he did.

Annotated Bibliography

The next assignment in our research project is the annotated bibliography.  We discussed how this is a good way to keep track of the research you are doing and to share the work you have done with other researchers.  For our next class, please bring one of the resources you have found so that we can draft part of the annotated bibliography in class.  These will not be the only resources you use, but they will help you get started with the project.  Be sure to have read the resources before class, and post links to any non-print materials so that you can quickly access them in class if need be.

As we get to work in class, we will consider information from some online sources that define what an annotated bibliography is, explain how to write the annotations, and provide examples of those annotations.  Here are a few links to sites on annotated bibliographies that we will look at together:

The Online Writing Lab at Purdue University

The Writing Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

The Cornell University Library

When you write an annotated bibliography, you not only write an annotation, but you also write the citation according to, in this course, the MLA guidelines.  Use Easybib.com to compose your bibliographic entries.
