This week we will conclude our unit on Short Stories. You will have a unit assessment on Tuesday. Wednesday we will begin reading the William Faulkner novel As I Lay Dying. "As I Lay Dying is Faulkner’s harrowing account of the Bundren family’s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Narrated in turn by each of the family members—including Addie herself—as well as others the novel ranges in mood, from dark comedy to the deepest pathos. Considered one of the most influential novels in American fiction in structure, style, and drama, As I Lay Dying is a true 20th-century classic."
