"Anse vs. the Road"
Here, Anse complains about the government road and how it's ruined his life. This chapter allows us to see how Anse sees himself, which is a lot different from how the other characters view him, and nearly every reader who picks up the book. How does Anse describe himself?
Anse recalls an exchange with Addie where she says she's tired, not sick, and needs to lie down. Does Anse's nature help or hurt in this situation? How?
Keep the false teeth Anse covets in mind...this will come back again.
How does Anse view God (the "Old Marster")? How does this religious view fit in with Anse's personality?
Meanwhile, Vardaman returns from chopping up the fish, all bloody.
