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,

Life on the Strings Dolls. We are surrounded by
dolls. G. I. Joe, Barbie, Polly Pocket, and WWF
action figures. Prior to our plasticine friends we
had paper dolls, marionettes, and delicately
featured porcelain dolls. We are strangely
fascinated by these cold, lifeless objects that
look so much like ourselves. Children clutch them
and create elaborate scenes, while adults are
content to simply collect, allowing them to sit,
motionless on a shelf, staring coolly back at
their live counterparts. W...

Brother Jack Invisible Man

The group portrayed in Ellison's Invisible Man,
The Brotherhood, is a perfect model of Emerson's
ideas on the conspiracy of any society against the
individuality of its members. The Brotherhood
restrains the personal growth of the protagonist,
and in so doing impedes the development of his own
identity. To that respect the protagonist is
unable to truly discover who he is until he breaks
away from society at large and formulate his own
ideas and beliefs. And until then he was unable to
become tr...

goals. He is the main driving force in this play,

Owl Creek Bridge Owl Creek Neck

The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was a great
story. The way the author made you feel like you
were actually Peyton Farquhar. I felt like I was
about to be hanged myself, the story was extremely
clever. You think that he actually frees himself
from the rope right after the sergeant steps to
the side to actually let him hang. The author
makes it so you dont know what happens until the
end. You have a slight feeling but your not sure
of what is going to happen. Bierce has a tricked
