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.

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.
