  • Jewel Bundren Quotes

    3078 Words  | 7 Pages

    After reading the novel As I Lay Dying, I was able to gather some first impressions about Jewel Bundren. One of these impressions is that Jewel Bundren is aware that Anse Bundren is not his father,. One reason why this is evident is because when Jewel half brother, Darl, is questioning him about who his father is, Jewel doesn’t answer, meaning he might know that he isn’t related to Anse. Another reason this is evident is due to the way Jewel acts when he is talking to Anse, as he is continuously disrespectful to him. Even though it’s shown Jewel is aware that Anse is not his father, there is no indication in the novel that he is aware that Whitfield is really his father. Another first impression I was able to gather about Jewel

    There is no doubt that Miss. Strangeworth is not an easy person to deal with, let alone live with, and although her character is fictional, there are many people with the same personality. We can tell quite easily that she is a very meticulous woman, with a lot of perfectionist tendencies, a few of which are to nitpick people’s lives and make sure that even the most minute detail is up to her standards. I know of someone with these attributes and as difficult as they are to deal with, with their list of requirements to be met and their eagle-eye for detail in even the smallest things, they mean the best, and are always trying to help, despite the possible repercussions.

    One of the first novels that remains memorable within my mind, an evocative and mesmerically haunting work of fiction, was Brett Easton Ellis' work of American Psycho. I distinctly remember re-reading passages, in admiration for the many ways in which a text can be appreciated and interpreted. The unreliable first person narrative of Patrick Batemant was so highly individualistic and sublimely proved how idiosyncrasies in writing create obscurity in character development. I particularly admired how the text put forth a subtext of radical thought about society and human behaviour, by delving into the depths of a culture that exuded
