  1. Aim: What has As I Lay Dying shown us about the way perspective works with reality? Do Now: “The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.” – George Carlin “Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.” – Pablo Picasso “The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.” – Flannery O’Connor “Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.” – William S. Burroughs

  2. Dewey Dell’s betrayal “But the curiosest thing was Dewey Dell. It surprised me. I see all the while how folks could say he was queer, but that was the very reason couldn’t nobody hold it personal. It was like he was outside of it too, same as you, and getting mad at is would be kind of like getting mad at a mud-puddle that splashed you when you stepped in it. And then I always kind of had a idea that him and Dewey Dell kind of knowed things betwixt them. If I’d a said it was ere a one of us she liked better than ere a other, I’d a said it was Darl. But when we got it filled and covered and rove out the gate and turned into the lane where them fellows was waiting, when they come out and come on him and he jerked back, it was Dewey Dell that was on him before even Jewel could get at him. And then I believed I knowed how Gillespie knowed about how his barn taken fire.” 237

  3. “Darl has gone to Jackson.” • What is the significance of Darl picking up where Vardaman’s chapter leaves off – 252-253? • Why does Darl’s narrative switch to the 3rd person POV? • Separation from reality, from self! • “Darl is our brother.” • Darl is speaking as all the Bundren children. In essence, Darl cannot be his own person without having the people around him who used to define who he is. – Addie, Jewel, etc. • Do you offer another theory about this line? • Cash says, “This world is not his world; this life his life.” 261. Can you define this world, this life?

  4. “Meet Mrs. Bundren, he says.” Selfish Anse! This last line is pretty famous. To you, what does it sum up? – Finish for HW 
