        <description><![CDATA[The story is mainly about loyalty to family or justice. Do you turn your father in to the law or remain loyal to him and not say anything. That is the emotional crisis that Sarty goes through. Abner comes across as nothing more than a monster throughout the story.]]></description>

The father's character was simply resurrected for additional stories.  Faulkner did this with many characters.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ninja28,
Faulkner's “Barn Burning,” is narrated from an objective third person point of view.The protagonist of “Barn Burning” is a poor ten-year-old boy with the name of Colonel Sartoris Snopes (called Sarty by his family). His father, Abner Snopes, is a primitive and vengeful man who divides the world into two opposing camps—blood kin (“us”) and enemies (“they”). He is the poor, ignorant, and vicious patriarch of an...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Stream of consciousness is a narrative style that is typical of Faulkner, in which the narrator just speaks his mind, how he feels, and what he fears with long, continuous sentences, sometimes with interruptions, as if the mind itself were speaking and telling the story, and involving the reader in the process.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Excellent question. I would add to the previous post that the sequence in which the texts are written do not necessarily represent the sequence of fictional events. In order to figure out what is going on and who lives and dies in what narrative, consult a genealogy chart ( see the link below). Faulkner is notorious for either resurecting characters or telling stories through charcters that are already dead like in Absalom,Absalom! for...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Actually, his father DID NOT DIE. This is something puny that Faulkner often does within his stories. He leads people to believe that the person is dead and we later read about the characters in a different story. Sarty and Abner are mentioned in many other of William Faulkner's works.

        <description><![CDATA[This question is more complicated than it sounds. Even though Italics are usually pretty reliable to indicate a break with the narrative in general (they may indicate an internal monologue for instance), a lot depends on who has edited the text.Italics are not a form of punctution like commas or hyphens, but a change in font that denote a change in the pattern of expression.
Especially when it comes to Faulkner, publishers and editors have...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I believe that Sarty's father, Ab does die in the story "Barn Burning" but not from the gunshots.  I think what is confusing you is there was a trilogy written by Faulkner after the book "Barn Burning" which does talk about Ab and his life. The trilogy is known as the "Snopes Trilogy" - "The Hamlet", "The Town", and "The Mansion".  Actually "Barn Burning" shows was happens to Ab in the future.  So you are seeing the end of Ab's life in the...]]></description>
