Abner Snopes Barn Burning

Youre getting to be a man. You got to learn. You
got to learn to stick to your own blood or you
aint going to have any blood to stick to you. This
quote from William Faulkner's Barn Burning does
reveal a central issue in the story, as Jane Hiles
suggests in her interpretation. The story is about
blood ties, but more specifically, how these ties
affect Sarty (the central character of the story).
The story examines the internal conflict and
dilemma that Sarty faces. When the story begins,
Sarty an...

same feelings, background, moral standing, or
struggles. They may experience the same hardships,

in literature encounter. In the book Jasmine by
Bharati Mukherjee, the main character was told
from the age of seven the hardships she would

just came in from from shoeing horses and bucking

Lack Of Communication External Conflict

A Country Love Story presents the destruction of
an earthly heaven by the word that created it. The
story concentrates upon a couple that moved to the
countryside to find their peace, peace recommended
by doctor Tellenbach especially for Daniel who was
in a sanatorium for a year. It is a kind of
withdrawal in a peaceful word in which only good
things are expected to happen. But in life nothing
happens, as we would expect it. Everything is
turned upside down by destiny, fate that is
unknown to us...
