William Faulkner's 'Barn Burning' / Point-Of-View
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay discussing the reason that this story by William Faulkner is more effectively told from the child's point of view than his father's, and what Faulkner has gained from this choice. It argues that since the amoral Abner is incapable of having a moral dilemma and therefore from generating true conflict, the stronger story comes from his son. No additional sources cited.

William Faulkner/ Comparing Short Stories
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of two of William Faulkner's short stories, 'Barn Burning' and 'That Evening Sun.' In each of these stories, Faulkner addresses the economic structure of the South as a way of illustrating the social pressures that served to keep segments of the population oppressed. Despite this similarity, however, each story has diametrically opposed effects in that 'That Evening Sun' illustrates the injustice of oppression against poor blacks, yet 'Barn Burning' displays that the oppression that affected the poor whites was largely brought on by the father of the family quite intentionally. Bibliography lists 6 sources. 99bb&tes.wps

'The Puritan Dilemma' # 2
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the examination of a concluding statement of the author: '...the broader vision that Winthrop stood for could never be wholly subdued. No Puritan could be a Puritan and remain untouched by it, for it arose out of the central Puritan dilemma, the problem of doing right in a world that does wrong.' The paper examines that Puritan dilemma, particularly in the light of Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, with emphasis on the personal searches of John Winthrop. All references to the Bible are NIV. No other sources cited.
