Jason

         As I was reading Jason’s section, I got to see what the Compson’s look like from his point of view, and I also got to see the way he thinks. Just by reading his chapter, it was very easy to see that Jason is selfish, and he doesn’t care about treating others well. He always looks at situations from his own point of view, and only considers how things will benefit himself. In comparison to Benjy and Quentin, he is a terrible person, and while the other characters had large issues, his issues come out of pure narcissism.
            One thing that I did like about Jason’s chapter was that I found it easier to read than the chapters written by Benjy and Quentin. He skipped through time less often, and his chapter was overall easier to follow, because it consisted less of his thoughts, and more of things that actually happened. The way Jason narrates shows that he is more sane and present than Benjy and Quentin. He is people smart, and he knows how to manipulate situations to get what he needs out of them.
            In one section of the chapter, Jason expresses how upset Caddy makes him. He is super mad at her, because he thinks that she has ruined his chances of working at a bank. This shows the reader how self centered Jason is. He doesn’t see how Caddy’s actions affected her own life, he only sees the repercussions on his life. Jason carries anger out towards everyone in the Compson family, and he is just another reason that they are so broken.
