Things are not difficult for Anse, Dewey Dell, Vardaman, and Tull when they cross the river because, they do not have any cargo that they have to take with them. The most difficult struggle for them is that they cannot see the whole bridge. They can see both sides of the bridge and that is it.

Anse just takes it upon himself to feel bad for himself because he thinks he has the worst luck and he wishes he could rewind to back before Addie died and she was just laying in
