    As I Lay Dying Literary Analysis

    Readers of Joseph Faulkner's As I Lay Dying have interpreted the message of this novel and the reasoning why Faulkner chose to write a novel like this. Some audience members argue that it is an uplifting and hopeful book while others choose to argue that this book is a way of “presenting human existence as a complete joke.” While there might be some events that happen in the novel that could convince readers that this novel is about having hope in humanity, there are more indicators that Faulkner used this novel to portray a bitter tone about human existence. Faulkner used the characters and events that happened in As I Lay Dying to express his beliefs on human existence. One example of a character that Faulkner uses to convey his idea that human…

    Tread Water Poem

    Upwards, your lungs craving air; the muscles in your body ache as you emerge up to the surface. Take a breath, feel the air rush back into your lungs, colour rush back into your cheeks. You were dying - only for a moment, but you were drifting away, being engulfed into the murky darkness. It will happen again, someday. Everyone gives in at the end, they claw at the water, resist with the small ounce of energy they have left, hold on the lonely drop of hope in all their minds despair; but sooner or later their eyes roll back, they feel nothing but numbness, they let the water take them, pull them, drag them down like it did to all the other lonely souls that were once just like you.…

    Beach: Poem Analysis

    Never has the wind blown across the barren plains. Never has a river flooded a town, without leaving victims to tell the story. When you live by yourself after waking up from a sleep that was meant to last forever, you’d walk through empty towns while thinking of those you last saw. You’d wonder why you’re alone, and why you’re not near anyone, and where everyone has gone. The last laughs of the century were long gone, with no trace of them or their owners.…

    Dream River And The Pool Poem Analysis

    As Canadians, we value many things; one being our land. It is clear how much we cherish this from the line in our anthem, “God keep our land glorious and free”.
