True/ Beautiful

1. Is it true?
     Yes. Faulkner writes about the harsh realities of life regarding the loss of a family member. He shows how the Bundren family was committed to burrying Addie in Jefferson as she had asked, but it also shows how life goes on and people can change. Faulkner demonstrates how a part of the world is after the loss of a spouse through Anse. Anse shows the readers how he is moving on, because as they travel he is searching for a replacement for his dear wife Addie, who never actually loved him. Faulkner describes the reality of  human nature in regards to death.

2. Is it beautiful?
     No. Death is not beutiful, or at least to many people it is not. Faulkner describes the horrible tragedies of a dysfunctional family that waits nine days to burry their mother. The family travels and along the way they encounter many obstacles that post-pone the burial. These obstacles are representative of each of their issues that they must confront in order to burry Addie peacefully, or not so peacefully.
