I Almost Dying: A Short Story

Decent Essays
Why? Because every school year the first thing my writing teacher asks the class to do is write them a letter about ourselves and now I’m kinda used to it. Honestly if I still had my google drive from my previous school I probably would’ve used the same one from last year but the truth is this was better because new events happened in my live and my grandma almost dying was a pretty big on and it still is. Thanks again for the warm welcome and I really hope you enjoyed reading this letter. Have a great

    William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying novel explores as well as calls into question the meaning of heroic actions. That all such actions are evident as heroic only from the outside.

The Bundrens fulfill Addie’s desire to be buried in Jefferson under the guise of heroic including family duty, ultimately rendering the idea of heroism pointless or self-defeating.
