        <description><![CDATA[The most noticeable literary element Faulkner uses in "Barn Burning" is sentence structure. Faulkner's sentences are very long and have many interruptions. They flow like stream of consciousness because they are one claus after another. In "Barn Burning" the second sentence  is 116 words in length.
Another major element Faulker uses is point of view. Faulkner relates this story from the young Sarty, who is ten years old. Faulkner's words...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The easiest explanation for your question is that Ab Snopes appears in Faulkner's fiction after this run-in with Major de Spain occurs.  The Snopes family appears in numerous Faulkner's novels; Ab in particular plays a large part in The Unvanquished, and the family in general is anthologized in a trilogy which includes The Hamlet, The Town, and The Mansion, so named because they chronicle the rise of Flem Snopes, Ab's son, from a sharecropper...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What's with his father and all that tin? Twice in the story he talks about tin and the dark, malevolent man that is his father:

1)...he could see his father against the stars but without face or depth-a shape black, flat, and bloodless as though cut from tin in the iron folds of the frockcoat which had not been made for him, the voice harsh like tin and without heat like tin:2)...this, the peace and joy, ebbing for an instant as he looked...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Sarty's dilemma is similar to that of the old South's; he is caught between defining his own identity and his fierce loyalties to clan.
When we first meet the 10 year-old Sarty we see him lying to the judge in the first trial.  He has been taught to defend his father, no matter what.  To go against one's clan is an unforgivable sin in the Snopes family.  Sarty's father puts stubborn allegiance to clan above duty to God or even country. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Written in 1939, William Faulkner's "Barn Burning" is set in a time period that is at least twenty years after the Civil War A Rhe story opens with a trial held in a make-shift courtroom in a general store in a small Southern town.  It becomes apparent that the town is in the South when judge orders Mr. Snopes to "leave this country" and Snopes follows the judge out,

        <description><![CDATA[If you approach your question from the point of view of a movie director, imagine flying towards the setting of William Faulkner's short story, Barn Burning. Based on the dialog, your plane would certainly be circling over America's southland at a time when tobacco was king and barns for drying the crop dotted the countryside.  If you can see the scene, Graciela67, you've found the story's place and time. ]]></description>
