As I Lay Dying: Book Review
The novel, As I Lay Dying, written by William Faulkner, is emotional and dramatic. Faulkner bases this story on the Burden family that lost the most important person that kept the family together which was the mother(Addie Burden) . After she died the family had to go find jobs and talk to other people to get enough money for the mothers coffin, so she could be buried by her family members which she said before her passing. This family goes through obstacles and have back to back conflicts with each other during those rough times and they all had to come together and figure out what needs to be done. Darl and Jewel had to work with Cora Tull to start saving up to help their father(Anse Burden) find a decent coffin and help put food on the table as well. I would recommend this book to anyone cause it gives that feeling of happiness but sadness at the same time and it could be a great book for anybody that likes to read books that makes you feel what the characters are going through.
