Collage Assignment : Please Refer to Handout or to this Link: LINK

Assignment: Make a collage that represents how one particular

character from As I Lay Dying embodies elements of the

Grotesque to comment on the human condition. Put another

way, show the variety of ways one of Faulkner's characters from

AILD breeches established cultural norms and how these

breeches help illuminate themes like: loneliness and isolation, the

impermanence of existence, and the impossibility of

communication.

As I Lay Dying - Journal Check - All Periods but 3rd 11/09 and 11/10

AILD Journal Check    REVISED

Your Journal should be at least complete to p. 168

 

As we are nearing a point where we'll have a Socratic seminar over As I Lay Dying, I need to see your journals. Remember, It is a log of what the character reveals (about self and others), and a map of the various images and symbols they refer to in their narratives. Consult the rubric in the DRIVE.

 

If your journal is a word document, please convert it to a GOOGLE DOC and SHARE it in the  correct DRIVE folder as  view only so I can read and grade it.

Without a journal I will not accept the character project that is due in ONE WEEK.

 

If you are working with a composition book, then please bring it to class so I can read and grade it.

 

Remember, the format is the format. My expectation is that the journal should show a clear, documented map of all the characters' various traits by section number and page (see the example). 

Example of a Digital Journal: Remember it's constructed either chronologically like this, or by Character.  Either way you MUST address ALL of the Columns and ALL of the characters.

character	Characteristics – What they reveal about themselves in their own monologues.	Section and pg #	Relationship to Addie or Bundren Family	What other’s reveal about them in their monologues.	Defining Symbols (what symbols or goals guide this character?) Defining imagery in narrative/s
Darl	He is unhurried, hyperconscious, and connects to the world in concrete and abstract terms:  he describes Jewel shortcut like Duchamps Nude Descending a staircase #2	Darl 1, p4	Son		Water. We first see him drink  spring water  from a gourd by a willow, but WHY???(p4) It’s a symbol of purity, cleansing, transformation and, the flow of life (rivers)
Darl		DD7,p.28 -29		1. Dewey Dell reveals that she and Darl can speak without talking. 2.The wood delivery is Darl’s idea not Jewel’s. He WANTS to LEAVE.
Dewey Dell	She is physical, sensual, and shows that she is willing to surrender herself to fate and chance.	DD 7, pp. 27-28			Cotton: in marriage it’s a symbol of strength and adaptability. But she’s not married. It also represents: Luck, healing. Symbol for Antebellum South: irony? The Bundrens are poor, so perhaps Faulkner is reminding us the enduring legacy and failure of the South.

As I Lay Dying Journal and final character assignments. Journal and Projects due 11/16

As I Lay Dying Journal

Please find your journal template at : The Many Voices of AILD  Whether you are using a digital or analog (composition book) format, you will need to do the following:

1. Track the characteristics of each character by what they reveal about themselves in their many monologues (you can do this by adding rows for the various monologue/section numbers ex.: 

   character	Characteristics – What they reveal about themselves in their own monologues.	Section and pg #	Relationship to Addie or Bundren Family	What other’s reveal about them in their monologues.	Defining Symbols (what symbols or goals guide this character?)
   Darl	He is unhurried, hyperconscious, and connects to the world in concrete and abstract terms:  he describes Jewel shortcut like Duchamps Nude Descending a staircase #2	Darl 1, p4	Son		Water. We first see him drink  spring water  from a gourd by a willow, but WHY???(p4)

     

   2. As you encounter what others reveal about them, you will log those entries as well. 

   3. When you are finished, you should be able sort the digital table into a solid map of one character that will allow you to complete the two final character assignments in this folder.

   4. Link to the two projects: AILD Final Projects
