DARL

Darl pgs 75-81
“Below the sky sheet-lightening slumbers lightly; against it the trees, motionless, are ruffled out to the last twig, swollen, increased as though quick and young.” Pg 76

Darl is still on his delivery with Jewel but is still able to see what is happening far away at his home. He sees Cash and Anse working on the coffin as it begins to rain. This quote adds to the unique and unrealistic characteristics of Darl. The outhors choice of diction uses alliteration: sky sheet-lightening slumbers, and personification to describe the trees and weather. This also adds to Darl’s random intellect and shows how well spoken and mature he is.

I chose this picture because it captures the lightening bolt in the moment of time and it feels like time has frozen. This reminds me of Darl because he seems to have this ability to see things deeper for what they really are. He describes every detail of the lightening in the quote I chose in a beautiful, descriptive manner and this picture reflected that image he described.
