Faulkners “Barn Burning”

Write an essay of 500-750 words maximum on your understanding of the primary theme of William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning.” (My understanding of the theme is: The Father and Son Relationship) You should quote short passages (4 lines or less) from the story to support your argument. Of course, there are many essays on this classic story, so if you use another author’s commentary on the story, such as the one you are asked to read in this module, make sure to cite the author’s article and to include the website using APA formatting.
