Paper Summary:
The paper shows that the language that William Faulkner uses in his novel, "As I Lay Dying" is interesting. Through the specific use of accents and tone, we are able to see inside the troubled, humorous, and sometimes frightening minds of the characters.From the Paper:
"We are not invited into the action of this novel, we are not meant to be with them on their journey. We are not flies on the wall or have an insider that can lead us through the themes and actions. The language is personal; it is the words of those involved not separated in some way by narration. It is pure, true; the first words out of the minds of those affected and touched by what is going on. The novel is stripped of all impersonal language of someone not really there, someone affected but not naked, exposing raw emotion and truth."More papers on "As I Lay Dying":
