Faulkner in his novel The Bear shows that
Southerners treat African-Americans poorly not
only in his fiction but as well as in history. In
an attempt to create a saga of his own, Faulkner
invented many characters from the historic South.
The use of symbolism, dialect, and structure help
to produce a racial theme in which evil and
injustice of the world turn a white against a
black. From Faulkner's point of view of Southern
history, God created and man h...

factions in the US, such as the National Rifle
Association (NRA), with the position of anti-gun
movement, is enlightening because the pro-gun
control proponents in the US only fight for
