When pain arrives, I toughen up to meet it. And form a coat of varnish. And another. And another. And another. Then I become strong and calm and tough and capable. But sometimes the pain comes, Before the varnish dries. And then I'm mush. -Anse on pain and how he takes it. Judy O Berry. "On Coping and Varnish." //Personnel & Guidance Journal 60.3: 183.

Dewey Dell's response to Darl's section (page 39) http://www.flickr.com/photos/lanuiop/ / CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 Dear Diary, I think that Darl knows about Lafe and I. He talked to me today. He said that I wanted mom to die so I could go to town. How would he know? He said, "you know that it is true now, I can almost tell you the day when you knew it is true." He sounded like he knew something, and I remember seeing him at the cotton field right after Lafe and I... you know. I am scared that he knows that I am pregnant. He never said directly that he knew but it is pretty obvious that he knows. I hope that he doesn't tell pa, he was asking me if I was going to tell pa and if I was going to kill him. I am scared for pa to find out. I need to get an abortion when we go to town. Even though I feel terrible about it, I am happy that mom died because now we can go to town, and maybe Peabody will give me the abortion I need. We will have to see. Until next time, //Dewey Dell//

I remember I caught that one fish down at the bridge! It was about as tall as me! I wanted to show it to ma cause I knew she would of been so proud of me. Pa wouldn't let me show it to ma, he made me clean it. He wouldn't let me see her cause there was people over and ma was sick. I was so mad that I said bad things the whole time. I chopped that fish up into pieces and I was bloody all over. It was real tiring. That fish was full of blood and guts. But I killed that fish and cause that fish was once alive just like ma, and now it is dead just like ma, my ma must be a fish.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center;">This wordle describes Darl's section on page 94. Buzzards are overhead the house, flying around in circles. Jewel thinks his horse is dead and Darl tells him that "It's not your horse that's dead, Jewel." Jewl replys with "Goddamn you, Goddamn you." Darl states that he has no mother and that Jewel's mother is a horse.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> This wordle describes Darl's section on page 253. He is on the train being taken to the insane asylum. As he is sitting on the train, he is laughing uncontrollably. People keep asking him what he is laughing at, but all he replies with is "Yes yes yes yes yes." He is probably just happy that he finally got away from his crazy family, even if it means going to an insane asylum.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">Jewel's Response to Armstid's section (page 184) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Dear Diary, Today was a real bad day. I can't believe that damned Anse traded my horse. And all for a team that Armstid could've givin him! That son of a bitch is so selfish! He trades my horse without askin me first! And he take Cash's money too! He says cause he went without eatin I can go without ridin. I got my horse with my own money! This is not fair at all! I wish my mom was here, she would surely yell at that damned man. She loved me so much and I know she wouldn't let him give my horse away. I feel left out and like I'm not a part of this family. Goddamn them all. -Jewel

My body has been through too much! First, I get holes drilled through my face. Next my body is rotting, and my coffin is sitting out in the heat. Then I got dropped in water. Now this?! Fire? Do they want my body to be destroyed forever? It is as if they don't care about me at all! Why can't they just hurry up and get to Jefferson already?! I know that Jewel cares about me though. And like I said, he rescued me from both the water and the fire! Although, I wasn't too fond of the way he rescued me from the fire. Pretty much throwing me around? Why don't you just open up the coffin and rip me limb from limb? Sometimes I question the intelligence of these kids. Anse is probably too busy sitting on his ass to do anything about it, lazy jerk. I knew that Jewel would be my savior. He seems like the only person that really loved me. Everyone else is selfish and thinking about themselves. Anse with his false teeth, and that Dewey Dell with her abortion. Maybe it is good that I died, now I can watch my family suffer and I will just sit back and laugh at them. Pitiful excuses for people.
