AS I Lay Dying Grotesque Collage Due 12/11

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

AILD breeches established cultural norms and how these

breeches help illuminate themes like: loneliness and isolation, the

absurd nature of human action, family bonds as bondage, the

impermanence of existence, and the impossibility of

communication.
