Mr. Lytle: An Essay

Some questions:

  • Why is the cedar coffin such a major part of this essay?
  • What is Mr. Lytle like?
  • The Southern Agrarians, of which Lytle was one, was a very influential group of writers. Based on the essay, what was the group like?
  • What do you think John Jeremiah Sullivan's attitude toward Mr. Lytle was? What do you think it is now as he writes this essay?

  1. The Cedar coffin is such a major part of this essay because it resembles what they did together by making wooden carvings. Mr. Lytle was a man that was more calm, but also one that had been a mentor to other people in the story. John Jeremiah Sullivan's attitude toward Mr. Lytle was that he had appreciation for him, and also tried to learn from him, being that he was a mentor to him. It is hard to describe Mr. Lytle because he was a man that could be difficult to know about. He had a unique personality which led John to have these feelings about him.
