Barn Burning

             William Faulkner's wrote "Barn Burning" identifies the relationship between rich and poor. Abner Snopes is a cold person and he doesn't care about other people feelings and his character is violent. He likes to take revenge from the rich people and he goes burn thier barns. "to the amount of ten bushels of corn over and above your contract with him, to be paid to him out of your crop at gathering time", so as a revenge and because of his anger he burns DeSpain's barn on fire.
             He was an emotionless man for his family. "Abner moves through life with no regard for his fellow humans and with no respect for their right to material possessions" The cold hearted, lawless, and violent person who is not seems to be changing. The story tells about the character that he is a jealous man and he is poor so he doesn't like rich people.
             As well as he was a cold hearted person for others so he was with his wife and son. "His father paused and looked back- the harsh level stares beneath the shaggy, graying, irascible brows". He never treated them well. He never even appreciated them for anything that they have done well for him.
             As he was a lawless person, Abner's act of breaking the law begins when he was supposed to be fighting in the Civil War, When Abner returned home, he continued his act of breaking the law.
             Abner's violation and breaking the laws habits were unchanging that he couldn't stop himself in the whole story and his these habits in the end of the story becomes the reason of his death.
