    A light blue sky with a touch of white is granting the brightness for the picture taken at some point in daylight. Still grass and the idle trees cover the setting of what appeared be to a neighborhood, indicated by a white, urban house and miscellaneous items that presents itself in the background. Right in front of this picture, a young boy in a navy-blue bathroom robe is playing with a fallen tree branch and a leaf that’s a quarter of his size. His posture ensnared my eyes’ attention. With his back turned, he carried the tree branch by his waist just like a noble warrior from another country far from the setting of this picture.

Faulkner appears to have a specific perception of his characters and their relationships that he would like his readers to develop in reading the novel, specifically about Caddy as a central cause of the Compson family’s undoing. These intentions are apparent through the consecutive order he has placed each of the characters’ chapters in.…

It starts out with Mujahid’s best friend dying by the Israeli army. “His mother seeing Nawar’s blood welcomed him with screams of horror”(Marston). She used such descriptive and haunting phrases such as, “He knew there was no life in those eyes” (Marston) .The reader doesn’t have any choice but to feel sorry and also a little terrified of the overall situation.
