how does faulkner tell a story from different angles in as i lay dying?
a. by telling the story through an unbiased, all - knowing character
b. by employing a narrator who has split personality disorder
c. by using addies point of view both before and after dying
d. by having more than one character tell the same story

Explanation:

In As I Lay Dying, Faulkner uses multiple narrators (15 in total) to tell the story. Each character gives their own perspective on the events, which allows the reader to see the story from different angles.

• Option A: An unbiased, all - knowing character would be a single narrator (like a traditional omniscient narrator), not multiple angles.
• Option B: There is no indication of a narrator with split - personality disorder. The multiple narrators are distinct characters.
• Option C: While Addie's point of view (before and after dying) is part of the narrative, it is just one of many. The key is the use of multiple characters.
• Option D: Having more than one character tell the story (multiple narrators) is how Faulkner presents different angles.

Answer:

D. By having more than one character tell the same story
