The novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner is a very interesting yet very sad novel to read. In this novel William Faulkner writes about Children living in a house with their sick mother Addie. She has been ill for quite some time, and they suspect that she is going to pass away soon. For part of the book one of the children Cash starts to build a coffin for his sick mother, right in front of her bedroom window. This novel was very interesting yet difficult to read as well because of everything that went on in the book. The novel really starts out sad but later on the novel becomes about the children's issues themselves. I felt that overall this was a great novel to read because of the different views of different characters in the novel.
