Barn Burning
Be sure to read this story carefully (more than once). You can expect a reading quiz and you will also be discussing the story in your first essay assignment.
To prepare for our class discussion, pay attention to Faulkner's descriptions of Abner Snopes as you read. Look for repeated words like "stiff" "tin" "cold", etc. Also, think about where the Snopes family fits in to the post- Civil War social structure.
