Throughout this period in America, the southern states, black people had to exercise and use separate bathrooms from whites, as well as drinking fountains, section in restaurants, and even go to separate schools. Furthermore, a great deal of the discrimination was aimed towards black people; there were abundance of explanation towards poor families by individuals that have the riches. Discrimination is rampant when groups’ of people that are different are called names.

The black characters in the novel are all victims of this “separate but equal” mentality; the younger characters yearn for real equality and the older characters have settled in to their lives by accepting their “fate.” The existing structures of society in Bayonne, Louisiana prevent black characters such as Grant Wiggins and Vivian from ever breaking out of their social class; both are forced to remain in their lives as teachers of young black children who will also grow up to live limited lives.

In order to fully understand importance of history and the past in Faulkner’s writing, it is first necessary to examine the life he lived and the place that shaped it. William Cuthbert Falkner (the “u” was later added via his own accord) was born September 25, 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi (Padgett). Named for his great-grandfather Colonel Falkner, young William was told countless stories as a boy of the old Colonel and other great heroes of the South. Faulkner himself described the process of embellishment subjected to one story told by his Aunt over time:

It is without any exception that the relationships between characters in any masterful piece of literature defines truly the themes which the author wishes to convey. They are the pillars on which the rest of the novel is securely built upon and is dependant on. In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, she uses these relationships to create parallels and foil characters to develop and securely establish the subjects of growth and family; by doing so, she highlights the key contrasts between these characters to complicate and deepen the characterization of the main protagonists. She builds up these pairs of foil characters exquisitely to reveal the themes in her novel that firstly, the situation in which a person is found does not define their character, it is their reaction and response that determines their worth; secondly, that the concept of family is not solely dependant on blood and

Instead of focusing on material and physical needs, people became concerned with the psychological needs of children.

William Faulkner’s short story, “Barn Burning,” the character Abner Snopes, who is Sarty’s father as well as a main character of the story, stands out the most compared to other characters because of Faulkner’s description with a sense of irony and critic. Faulkner presents multifaceted characteristics in Abner Snopes that makes the readers think beyond the view of the narrator based on logics and circumstances in Abner’s conditions. The setting of ‘‘Barn Burning’’ is the post-Civil War South, the South of Reconstruction, in which a defeated and in many ways humiliated society is trying to hold its own against the Northern victor. It still maintains in private the social hierarchy that characterized the region in its pre-war phase. By knowing the setting of the story, readers can actually understand the social condition at that period of time.
