William Faulkner said that "The best literature is
about the old universal truths, such as love,
honor, pride, compassion, and sacrifice. " This
means that long standing truths contain ideas that

elements he named. This statement is true of the
book I read, The Green Mile by Stephen King,

to this argument and it seems quite fair and
logical. Unfortunately our...
