Barn Swallow

One can easily detect that Sarty is somewhat a prisoner to his father, Abner's, abusive and sadistic behavior. No matter how hard Sarty tried, nothing he did ever seemed to make his father proud.

Sarty, in response, sprung at the boy to defend his father's honor; however, Abner is quite ungrateful for his son's reaction, for

Not only is “Barn Burning” about the in the hereditary sense of "blood ties," but it is also about how a young boy's conscience dictates his actions. It is through Faulkner's use of stream-of-consciousness narration that the reader is aware of Sarty's innermost thoughts and feelings. It seems that Sarty is of good nature: he has a strong sense of morality, loyalty and humility. Throughout the story, Sarty tries to imagine that Abner might change his behavior. “Maybe he [Abner] will feel it too,”

The perspective that I think the author is trying to portray is that Abner wants his family to stick together even though Abner knows his ways are wrong. Abner thinks that his son Sarty should remain loyal to him even though he did burn Mr. Harris barn down. Abner slapped Sarty and said," you're getting to be a man. You got to learn. You got to learn to stick to your own blood or you ain't going to have any blood to stick to you."(Faulkner)Sarty knows not to stand up to his father because he was

All Jarrah could think as he stumbled back; was that his father was going to be very disappointed in him if he died today. It wasn’t a fair thought. Jarrah’s father was not to blame for him being just ‘this side’ of puberty, with enough stupidity, curiosity and boredom to warrant a journey into the bush that Sunday afternoon. It was not his father’s fault that Jarrah was about to be mauled by a cat the size of a small cow. That blame rested entirely upon Jarrah himself. Jarrah kept his eyes locked

This book, truly stimulating and electrifying, takes place in the mysterious and little town of Wolf Hollow. The centre of attention and the main attraction in this book is indeed the main character Cameron Weaver. A few other subjects of attention include Cameron's Mother and her Lover boy!

(Sarty) Snopes is a young boy in William Faulkner’s story Barn Burning whose inner conflict causes him to make a choice between his family and his conscience. He seems to have unspoken intelligence that allows him to think independently of his controlling father. Sarty chooses to obey his own moral code rather than to remain loyal to his family because of how Sarty views his father’s actions throughout the story. Its clear from the beginning of Barn Burning that Sarty’s moral integrity is greater than

ownership of land and laboring on it. These themes are greatly highlighted in William Faulkner’s short story, Barn Burning. The condition of the Snopes is representative of the circumstances that virtually subjugated many black and white laborers after the civil war. The setting of poor Southern workers succeeding the Reconstruction Era is an ideal environment for exploring one of the themes of Barn Burning: unfair societal roles. Abner Snopes is antagonized by the structure of his social class and loathes
