The above words all accurately describe **section 3** which begins on **page 10**. **Darl** is either surrounded by, or can be described as the words listed above. He is remembering his younger years, when he really valued the taste of water from an aged cedar bucket. He is nostalgic to the tasty July sensation of the cool liquid. Darl uses beautiful imagery to describe his memories and surroundings. Pa and Vernon are on the Porch together. He remembers these summer nights when he took advantage of being alone, enjoying his isolation and body. Darl painfully describes his fathers toes and how they are mangled from excessive work in poor footwear. In the barn, Darl encounters Jewel frustratedly trying to mount his horse. After a struggle he does so successfully. After dismounting the animal, he curses and feeds it. This is Journal Option number 5.

(5) Addie's Reaction to Anse Section 26; Page 105 Journal Option #4 []   That worthless man. That annoying, worthless, stupid man. Where does he get off thinking he can judge my little Jewel's respect? Anse sits there acting all concerned for my wishes. HA! We know that's a joke. All that man has cared about since our marriage is how to get out of work. If he thinks I haven't noticed his laziness then he's...well he's just a dumb! Since when are horses circus animals? They get work done and that's why Jewel rides them! Anse acts like he actually gives a damn about respecting me. I know Jewel is the only one who has and ever will respect me. Those other rodent children are pathetic. They are worthless. Then that vermin Darl thinks my death is funny. Always knew that baby was dirt. I knew it from the very day he was born. He goes on laughing as though it's funny my body is lying there in that poorly constructed coffin. Look at Anse scolding Darl for laughing. Of course now that I'm dead he is going to discipline his child. Left all the work to me before. Anse clearly thinks that he has done his best as a husband and a father. What makes him think such a thing? I just hope Jewel can get through this. He's all I care about. Stop your laughing Darl. Your laughing had better stop.

(6) Extended Response of Darl's Section 57 Page 253 Journal Option #1 [] I feel relieved to know that the distance between these people, my family, and me is steadily increasing. Yes yes yes yes yes yes. Darl squirms with excitement as the idea resinates with him. Darl runs his grimy hands along the cell walls. Our brother is Darl and Darl likes to be alone in this grimy cell. In Jackson Darl is away from his pathetic family. I'm glad I burned that barn down. The smell of the burning wood had filled my lungs with the sensation they had been longing for. I start foaming at the mouth more. My mouth is foaming in pleasure. Darl's mouth foams in the contentment of separation from Jewel. From Anse. From Dewey Dell. From Vardaman. From Addie. Our brother Darl foams. I begin to laugh. Is this really happening? Have I truly escaped the life that has so profoundly ruined my existence. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. I will stay in Jackson forever. My eternity will be spent in this cell. Darl likes this Cell. Yes yes yes yes yes.

(7) Peabody's Diary Response to Darl Section 46; Page 206 Journal Option # 2 []

Dear Diary, I can't believe the stupidity of the bundren family sometimes. Poor Cash bundren broke his leg bad. There was a lot of bleeding and the Darl was trying his best to save his brother from death and pain. The family decided that the best thing to do was set Cash's leg themselves. I just don't understand the logic in blindly setting a broken leg. They should have gotten help from anybody with mild experience rather than attempting this alone. To top things off, the family bought cement. What were they going to do with the cement? I'll tell ya. They were going to cement Cash's leg to prevent it from moving any more. I reckon that may be one of the dumbest decisions i've ever heard. Poor Cash was reluctant but Anse insisted. His reason for insisting is what drives me nuts. Because the cement had been paid for, Anse refused to waste it. Well Anse got his way and now Cash's leg is worse off I'm sure. Cash is so thankful. I Wish he knew he had no reason to be. -Peabody

(8) Section 54, Peabody Page 239 Journal Option #5 This section is comprised of Peabody's medical help in regards to Cash's mangled leg. Peabody continually (and rightfully) bashes Anse for his negligence and incredible stupidity. Peabody is astounded by the suffering Cash has gone through. Cement has been placed on his leg. This has burned his leg and could result in 60 square inches of skin diminishing. Peabody is trying to fix the break so that one day Cash can at least hobble on his leg. Peabody makes several witty and sarcastic comments about the logic in the Bundren's attempt to help Cash's leg. Peabody thinks that Cash would have been better of just sawing his leg off. He also states that all the problems would be solved if Anse put his head in a sawmill.

(10) Dewey Dell's Section 58 Page 255 Journal Option # 5

Anse reaches an all time low in this section. He is incredibly selfish. He essentially is stealing from his daughter! She tries to explain to him that the money was made off the cakes. She also explains the money belongs to Cora Tull. This doesn't stop Anse from trying to take the money. He scolds his daughter for withholding money from him that he has absolutely no right to. Anse is a JERK. He ends up stealing the money and leaving.
