This Reading Journal Thingy Mrs. Oles is Making Us Do: Dilsey's Chapter

Dilsey's 14 points (no way exactly like Woodrow Wilson's 14 points YES!!)

• This section is narrated on the same day as Benjy's section (in the present)
• The day is "grey and misty" as Dilsey walks out past the house.. why grey and misty?  Good question...
• At one point, Dilsey has to calmly soothe Mrs. Compson as if she is a child then moves on with her chores...ummm...ok...man Mrs. Compson is the epitome of a child...definitely
• After Quentin runs away, instead of chasing after her, Jason immediately runs to see if his money is missing (which btw it is)
• Jason needs that "little bitch" tracked down.  Lovely way to think of your niece eh Jason?
• Frony doesn't want to bring Benjy to church because he is white.  Dilsey dismisses this as saying its good for Benjy to be in God's presence.  Shows the effect of racism definitely
• There's a visiting pastor who speaks about redemption and makes Dilsey cry...which is pretty freaking impressive if you as me!!
• Dilsey says she's seen the "first and last" of the Compsons.  THIS IS AN IMPORTANT POINT GUYS.  This shows the change from old Southern values to the new South right here in a nice quote.  Yup, nice huh...
• The sheriff finds chasing after Quentin for Jason pretty funny, and Jason furiously leaves, determined to find the kid himself
• Jason violently knocks a circus man out because he says he doesn't know anything about Quentin (which he doesn't).  Geez, violent much Jason...Not the answer
• Jason's head begins to hurt.  Oh boo hoo poor baby wowww
• Benjy flips out at one point because he's in the carriage and they go the wrong way.  Remember, Benjy is obsessed with order, and since they went left instead of right, he is going to have a flip out attack.  Benjy begins to bellow loud and people can hear him.
• Jason furiously rushes out of his car, furious, smacks Luster, and then begins to drive the carriage himself.  Benjy calms down.
• And that folks, is the end of the book.  Yup, that's how it ends.  Don't ask me why, but yup, congratulations, you finished the book!!
