Lets Give Em Something to Talk About Writing is a
rare talent that belongs only to few. Authors can
make us cry, they can make us laugh, they can make
us angry, they can create fright, and they can
create suspense. This simple language that we use
everyday, writers can put together to make a
fascinating puzzle for us to look at. This
fascination is true for such stories as A Clean
Well-Lighted Place, by Ernest Hemingway, and Barn
Burning, by William Faulkner. Similarly, both of
these writers dep...

Critical Analysis Of Barn Burning By Faulkner
900 words
At first glance, the story Barn Burning seems just
to be about a tyrannical father and a son who is
in the grips of that tyranny. I think Faulkner
explores at least one important philosophical
question in this story were he asks at what point
should a person make a choice between what his
parent (s) and / or family believes and his own
values? The main character and protagonist in this
story is a boy named Colonel Sartoris. In this
story, Sarty is faced with the decision of either

juxtaposes strong weather symbolism with the
emotions and events of the characters in the

struggle between the protagonist and his
perception of his reality world versus his
fictitious one. This theme is expanded upon and
clarified by the author, by the use of weather,

Abner Snopes Barn Burning
1,018 words
William Faulkner's Barn Burning William Faulkner's
Barn Burning presents a dichotomy of thought. On
one hand, it is a heroic tragedy about Sarty
Snopes growing into awareness and morality. On the
other, it is a story describing a moribund
southern aristocracy built on a tainted
ante-bellum foundation of slavery and decaying on
a post-war economic oppression of white agrarians.
Sarty rightfully looks at this old order of life
as a symbol of hope. However, to Abner Snopes,
this way of life represe...
