"Tull Tries to Comfort Anse"
While Tull is trying to console Anse, Anse expresses the opinion that Addie will die before Darl and Jewel return.
This chapter is important because it marks the introduction of a new theme, that of Vardaman and the fish. Vardaman shows up with a rather large fish and wants to show it to his mom, but is frustrated. (Remember that Vardaman is mentally challenged, and understands little about what is going on around him.)
Why does Tull promise to help Anse with the corn? What comment is being made about life in the South?
What might the approaching rain foreshadow?
What concern does Tull repeat almost word-for-word about Cash? Why might that be important?
What opinion does Cora express about Addie and Anse's relationship?
