A butterfly rests on one of these objects as a cloud covers the sun in an anecdote related by the young protagonist’s uncle to end a 1957 novel. In another novel, one of these objects “topples forward” and causes sparks to rain on a man in “engendering gusts” like a “thin nimbus of fire.” While borrowing tools to dispose of one of these man-made objects, a man returns with false teeth and a woman holding a graphophone. The creator of one of these objects lists “animal magnetism” among thirteen reasons why he made it “on the bevel” and wears a cement cast after breaking his leg. A fire and a river crossing nearly destroy one of these objects amid a trek by characters like Jewel, Cash, and Vardaman. For 10 points, what sort of man-made object is transported by the Bundren family in As I Lay Dying? ■END■
