    Another structuralist reading that would show this message confusion would be one of William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” (Faulkner 331). D. Fowler and Abadie A. assume that‚ in his works William Faulkner “strove to develop new “terms‚” new forms for his fictions” (Fowler and Abadie 9).

    William Faulkner’s work “Barn Burning” is a great example of how authors can connect his writing with the reader.
