====**//Oh Jewel, why are you such a difficult child? My love for you is stronger than any other, yet you show no love back. Deep down it feels like there is a connection between us, but it seems I am the only one who is proud of it. Oh Jewel, why are you so difficult? I know you care about me since you become so frustrated with Cash building the coffin outside my window. Jewel, honey, that is what I want. I'm tired and I can't do anymore. Seeing my coffin being built comforts me and assures that my death will be good for myself. All my life I've struggled. Your father was the laziest man alive and the worst husband I could have chosen. Having children was nothing for me until I had you. You are my life and everything I care about. If only you knew how much you meant to me. Although you may feel that Cash, the rest of the family, and even the county folk are being unfair to me, I assure you that it will be alright. My death will be good for everyone no matter how much I hate to leave you, my love. Don't let my passing change who you are. Be your own person and live the life you want to. I will be here for you always, watching over you and loving you forever. Don't bother over my death too much. Just know that my spirit will live through you. I love you Jewel. //**====

**Vardaman** (page 84): Visual depiction

This image is meant to represent how Vardaman views his mother. Since his mother is dead and the fish is also dead, Vardaman believes they are the same. Therefore, the fish in Addie's coffin symbolizes how Vardaman thinks that his dead mother is a fish.

**Anse** (page 105): Visual Depiction

All of the words listed above describe Anse's section on page 105. This section included the scene when Darl was laughing while riding in the wagon by Addie's coffin since Jewel was riding on his horse in order to come along with the Bundrens and bury Addie. Anse thought that Darl's laughing was disrespectful as well as Jewel's actions. All of the words above describe what Anse was thinking of that particular situation.

**Vardaman** (page 150): Visual Depiction This image represents the river scene when Darl is trying to catch Addie's coffin while its floating down the river. Vardaman is chasing after Darl yelling for him to catch her, "Catch her Darl!".

==== //**Working is all that I know how to do. That's all I enjoy doing. I put in my best effort for every project, so day after day I worked on that coffin. It needed to be perfect for her and I made it. I kept tell **////**ing them "It's not balanced". They wouldn't listen to me. In the wagon, it wasn't balanced. I tried to make it so, but it would not. They still wouldn't listen to me. I told them that if they wanted it to ride right the**////**y would have to make it that way. No one listened to my warnings and now look what happened.**// ====

He gave me ten dollars to take care of it, it just wasn't enough. I don't understand why the shopkeeper refused to help me. He could have done so much for me if he just would! Now I don't know what to do anymore. All my hope is gone. I can NOT tell pa and I am so worried that Darl is going to kill him with the news. Every day I know the baby is growing and everyday I tell myself it has to stop. I really need to find someone to help me and get me out of this mess. Oh, who am I kidding. It seems that no one will come to my rescue. Diary, I can't give up but I'm beginning to doubt everything. He could do so much for me if he just would. Oh, Lafe. Lafe. Lafe... //===
