Journal Entry Number One- Extended Response on Section 9 ​ I look upon the sky over a little ridge over in the distance. It's blank with a few clouds showing no expression on their faces. I could see me as one of those clouds over there. Not being able to move real well or speak loud at all, except when I would get sad and rain, and shout cries of thunder. Still, no one would listen, and I'd remain as a blank little white shape moving across the vast sky. All I do now, seems like it does nothing for me or my family or anyone around me. It will change once I go to get them teeth. I'd be more than just one of them small clouds over that there distnace, no. I will be more like the sun, shinning higher and brighter than the rest of everyone else. Til, then, I'm just apart of the dull weather with nothing to do about it.

Journal Entry Number Two- Diary Entry Response on Section 8 //Dear Diary,// //Today, I caught a fish. Caught right when its big head was sneaking outta the water. It wieghed a lot, but i wannted to show ma what i had done, so told me that I was gonna get this fish to show her. Took it right to the house and saw that it was bout as big as me, but I didn't care as long as I showed ma. When I got to the house, i saw Mr. Tull there with pa, and he asked me where'd I got the durn thing, and I told him over by the bridge there. Pa asked what I was gonna do with it, and I told him I wanted to show ma. The fish was own the ground and rolling all in the dirt and flapping itself all over the here place. Then pa tells me to clean that fish, but said why can't Dewey Dell, but he said I had to. I was mad, and i tried picking the thing up, but it slides outta my hands, and so I cuss the thing just like I hear Jewel cuss. I pick up the fish again, but bring it around the house, but not to ma. Not to ma.//

Journal Entry Number Three- Addie's reaction on Section 13 My innocent Vardaman! Please do not blame Peabody for my death because he did all that he could to try to save me, but do not cry. Please do not cry! It makes me sad to see the red face with strokes of tears on my baby boy. If you are going to blame someone, blame your father. He was the one who did not call for Peabody soon enough to save your mama. Blame him, the lazy fool! Oh, how I wish there were someone like I to comfort you in this hard time. Dewey Dell not mature enough, while no one else is affectionate or warm regard for you as much as I do. Not Darl, Jewel, nor your other brother Cash. I need you to stay strong. Please, do not take out any of your fustration out on the barn animals, because they didn't do anything. Not them. Not them. The way you can comfort me in my guilt for leaving you like this, is to take me to town. I know if I can be in town, I will be able to be with you all the time, to be your mother. Your loving mother that knows you the best my innocent Vardaman. There is no one like you in this world, and I want you to know that, but I did not have the strength to tell you. I know though that there will be the day where, you can cry all you want in my arms with warm feeling. Until that day, for me, keep back to tears. Refrain from sobbing. Lift your head up high because I am your mother, and nothing can ever tear you away from being my only Vardaman.

Journal Entry Number Six- Collage on Section 7



**This wordle represents the time when she was harvesting with Lafe on their fields near the woods. She was remembering this just as she was saying good-bye to Addie. The words Darl and Lafe are the two biggest because Lafe is the person she slept with, and the person she "couldn't help it" with when they were approaching the end of the fields near the woods, however Darl is the only person that knows what was going on with her and Lafe, and she is afraid Darl will tell the rest of the family about this whole situation.**

Journal Entry Number Seven- Poem on Section 11

 //**I Ask Why

By Peabody

Why do they want me this time? Why do I have to come? Why am I so overwieght? Why is the rope not breaking? I Ask Why

Why is that storm looking so awful? Why is it here and happening now? Why is this room so quiet? Why is she not moving at all? I Ask Why

Why could I have been able to treat her? Why did he not call me sooner? Why does she want me to leave right now? Why did she say that? I Ask Why

Why is he sawing so loudly? Why does he look so focused? Why is this happening to me? Why did this just happen? I Can Always Ask Why**//

Journal Entry Number Eight- Poem on Section 17

Precisely Finished

By Darl

I look, I watch, I listen. They take the final measurements, Adjust the final settings, But did not expect it to rain. They look up, Expecting for a slight pause. No Pause. As if it mattered if it paused or not, As if they were not gonna just keep working, As if the was not the most important thing to them, They kept working. One of them was discarded, When another showed up. Finally, it was done, finished. They could haul it inside, Where everyone could see it, Could see how it was precisely finished, But I thought when they were done, She would be placed into it. And then she would be precisely finished.

Journal Entry Number Nine- Collage on Section 31

This wordle represent Section 31. The section is from the viewpoint of Tull which is one reason why Tull is featured as the biggest of all the words. Other reasons include how much Tull is involved in the section. The Burdens ask if they can use his mule and Tull goes around looking at everyone, speaking what he thinks of them at the time. Other words such as wrecked and bridge are large due to their importance in the section and the reason why the Burdens with Tull are wondering what they should do because of the damaged bridge. The size of the name of the characters that are listed above is also how much they are involved such that Jewel is bigger than Vardaman or Anse because he does more in this Section than them.

Journal Entry Number 10- Extended Response on Section 19

She swims around with her other fish friends doing fish things all around the water. I bet she lives a great life, and loves her family. I bet her body is smooth and beautiful and big as any other fish that she swims with. I would like to be a fish with her and she and I could be together. I would not be a very big fish, or a very beautiful fish like she is, but as long as she would be there with me, it would be fine. I bet we would have great lives, but there would be slight problems. Problems with hunters trying to get us and eat us. I bet that is what happened. I bet she had a problem with a hunter. I bet someone just came by and took het right out of the water. I bet they did not even care how big or beautiful she was, as long as they could eat her. I bet they did not care at all. I would never be a problem. I will never be a problem.
