One of the main realities of the human existence is the constant passage of time. The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner explores time in many new and unexpected ways as he tells the sad tail of the Compson family. The Compsons are an old Southern family to whom time has not been kind to. Years of falling apart mainly from slavery have brought them to the brink of destruction. Most of the story focuses on the Compson children who are undergoing the worst of the social and moral decay

I hope that all is well‚ but I would like to confront you about an underlying issue within the deaf community. After watching the documentary “Sound And Fury‚” something became very apparent that needs to be addressed. Deafness is an impairment since it limits ability to fit in and succeed in a society. It is imperative intervene in the situation with Heather. An intervention becomes obligatory when someone’s life is in danger‚ deafness is not a culture‚ it is an impairment that many people suffer

The deterioration of the American wealthy culture in Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury has progressed further than the deterioration seen in The Great Gatsby. Whereas many of the characters in The Great Gatsby are suffering from the more intangible consequences on their morals‚ the Compson family in The Sound and the Fury is suffering from the tangible consequences‚ facing both physical and mental difficulties. The decay of the Compson family is symbolic of the decline of traditional American values

Falkner uses many motifs in The Sound and the Fury. One that he uses is shadows. Shadow are mentioned all throughout Quentin’s section‚ June Second 1910‚ and in some of Benjy’s section‚ April Seventh 1928. In Quentin’s section‚ it says‚ “The shadow hadn’t quite cleared the stoop.

I firmly believe that the cochlear implant operation should be able to be performed on young children even though they cannot give consent. After watching Sound and Fury multiple times‚ I can see why some people would not want themselves or their children to receive cochlear implants. They have a fear that they would abandon the deaf culture and they would lose their deaf identity. However‚ this movie has also given me more insight on the advantages of receiving a cochlear implant and how important
