A 3 page essay that analyzes William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning." In this story, Sarty, a young boy, has to choose between family loyalty and stopping his father from yet another barn burning. The behavior of his father, Abner Snopes, seems inexplicable, at first glance, to the modern reader, as Abner sabotages his chances of earning a living for himself and his family as a sharecropper by intentionally and maliciously ruining an expensive rug in the home of his new employer. The explanation for this bizarre behavior lies in Faulkner's careful characterization of Abner and the way in which he situates Abner within the context of the rural Southern culture of the time. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
