As I Lay Dying journal entries

Cash
My first impression of Cash was that he was a hardworking man. He spent most of the day working on the coffin for his mother. He seemed very selfless as he worked constantly on his mother’s coffin. Although the fact that he was building the coffin right outside his mothers window was somewhat disturbing to me. I would not want to watch a man build my coffin. To Cash this coffin was his last present to his dying mother and he wanted it to be perfect witch is why he would hold up every piece to show his mother to make sure it was perfect. Cash’s importance was that he was the one to build the coffin. Without him there wouldn’t be a coffin to carry their mother in to the grave. Also Cash seemed to be the voice of reason in the family and i feel as if he tried his hardest to hold the family together under tough circumstances. His selfless actions were also the reason the family made it to their mothers grave. Cash a a very logical thinker and straight forward type of guy. his narratives in the book were predominantly very logical, as opposed to the emotion filled narratives of the other characters. He did not care that Jewel was only his half bother and respected and kept Dar’s secrets. Many of his siblings saw his act of building the coffin as a mean and cruel thing, But Cash though oh the coffin as his last gift to his mother, so he wanted it to be perfect. Apart from being selfless he also seemed to be stubborn. s he carried on even though he had re-broken his leg. This led to him ultimately not being able to walk anymore, even though he could have easily saved his leg by going to a hospital and letting the rest of the family cary on with the duty of taking their mother to her grave. One of Cash’s redeeming qualities is his selflessness. He worked around the clock, through the cold and the rain to make his mother’s coffin perfect. He also struggle through the pain of his broken leg in order to help
