MotherFaulkner

The term I hear most associated with William Faulkner's name is "Great American Writer," is thisbecause he can so thoroughly describe the small details of everyday life in his story "Tomorrow?"I could imagine having to listen to Mrs. Puritt's long story about the life of Jackson Fentry. Forsuch an uninteresting character his life details were all there. I could remember humoring an oldperson's storytelling, difficult to stay focused on what they're talking about until they mentionan enormous bombshell, in Mrs. Puritt's case, the fact she had no clue what happened to JacksonFentry's baby.Another character Quick, fills in the holes of Mrs. Puritt's story, quite similar to how my cousinsmight share sordid gossip. It's another detailing of the boring Mr. Fentry although you hear moreabout his personal life as you might from someone closer to his age than an elderly Mrs. Puritt. His story is difficult to focus on until the name "Thorpe" is brought up and suddenly things comeinto place. Faulkners story describes not only habits but deep morals upheld by these charactersin their own individual manner. Gavin comes to realize the depth of character the insignificantseeming Fentry has, and realizes he could never have expected Fentry to vote free the man whomurdered the closest thing Fentry ever had to a son.
