Journal Response: Barn Burning William Faulkner style’s stands out one more time with this work. It is very remarkable the effort he does by implementing symbolisms‚ visual descriptions‚ and the lack of certainty in his sentences‚ as if he wants us to imagine and figure out what he really wants us to think in that moment.
