Jewel's Eyes in As I Lay Dying: A Detailed Analysis

Darl describes Jewel's eyes multiple times throughout the novel *As I Lay Dying*. Here are some of the key descriptions:

* "Jewel’s eyes look like pale wood in the half-light." This is one of the most frequent descriptions and emphasizes their color and almost unfeeling quality. It highlights the connection between Jewel and the wood he works with.

* "Jewel’s eyes are like marbles, he sees right through you when you ain't there." This describes the intensity of his gaze and his perception of things that others miss.

* "Jewel's eyes...burning, watching." This showcases their intensity and a sense of watchfulness

These descriptions contribute to the overall impression of Jewel as an intensely focused, often brooding, and somewhat enigmatic character.
