In your essay for this module, pick at least three of the monologues in As I Lay Dying and analyze them closely in terms of the internal thoughts/ways of thinking of the characters and their external ways of expressing themselves with others. Make sure to use specific examples to make your points and show how you findings relate to a larger theme or themes of the novel. The essay must be at least five pages, typed, double-spaced, and submitted as a Word document.
It is imperative that you push below the surface of the text into its deeper dimensions. Allow yourself to play in the language, letting it lead you to startling insights and realizations.
While this is not a formal paper, this essay does need to have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Feel free to be creative in your approach, but do not forget to follow the rules of grammar and spelling (if you present a sentence fragment as a sentence, make sure it is for truly good reason). The grade (0-100) will be based on depth of insight, creativity of approach, and effective presentation, including grammar and spelling.
Please take your time doing this homework, last time I got a C the professor said that it was confusing.
