Dewey Dell
I never seen a field like this before. And I dont see how anybody can do any picking on it either. They says its for playing not picking but I dont see why anybody would want to play on this field cause its not a good field that nobody wants to pick or play on, not a good field. Im just thinking in my mind about me and Lafe trying to go picking on this field and maybe if it was this field instead of the regular one then maybe the sack wont be full and I wont have to do it. If the sack is full I cannot help it but if it it was this field the sack would never be full and I could help it. But I cannot see one thing that Lafe can pick up from this field and put in my sack. So then I could help it. But I could not help it.
And now I have to think about what everybody else thinks. Here theres so many people I could just disappear. Theres so many people. Then theres me. Theres so many people and theres me. They are they and I am me and I am Dewey Dell and I am different. And they know I am different but they dont know I am different too. They know I am wearing a dress and they are wearing all the same brand new outfit. They could never do any cooking or picking in as clean a shirt and so I dont know why they wear it. They know I am different. But they dont know I am different too. They dont know I am never alone and they dont know I am worried and they dont even know what that means. I wish I could disappear and be the same and wear the same as them and be the same as them. But they are them and I am me and I am Dewey Dell and I am different.

This is a fantastic imitation of Dewey Dell's narrative! The way that you replicate her style of speaking - characterized by her circular trains of thought that convey the implicit internal struggles within her - is very accurate. I also love how you incorporated Lafe into the "Severn school" chapter because, again, it mirrors many of her chapters in "As I Lay Dying." For this blog post, I wrote in Dewey Dell's perspective, too. While you focus here on the sports field, I focused more on her interactions with the students. What is coincidental is that we both mentioned her opinion on the uniform in the same way.
