main theme that I observed in “Barn Burning” that I though would be relevant for response was the otherness of Sarty. For all his young life Sarty has had the concept of blood loyalty beaten into him by his father. Abner tell young Sarty‚ “You got to learn to stick to your own blood or you ain’t going to have any blood to stick to you.” This meaning that in Abner’s eyes if you don’t back up your family then who is going to back you up when the times get rough?
