I believe she was tired of living a life of being catered to. The whore house and Popeye was the alternative to the norm. Temple Drake mentality diminished from being the hostage to making this place her home.

This tells a lot about the era of the film and the what the audience was ready to allow. The movie of Temple Drake was drastically censored due the sexual nature of the novel.

Because of the big name star in the short film I believe took away from the desperateness of the family that is in the novel Sat, 03 Dec 2016 08:06:18 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=628843 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56429?scroll_to=628843 Yes they were stuck in a loop of repeating pattern by the father, but I believe that is why the boy ran to tell De Spain, in hopes of changing his family next path.

He believed his father was guilty yet he continued to stick by his side even when it physically hurt him. Abner Snopes felt his balance was to take from those that had to much in eyes. His remorse was minimal if not at all. His family was just a pone to him, that he even told his son not to go against him. The fire represented the anger that Snopes carried around in him until his death.

This information tells a lot about his life. He took advantage of all that crossed his path. From the Barn owners to his family. Snopes seen the world as owing him something. He seemed to be running away from the person he was. He spoke harshly to the Blacks by calling them nigger to allow them to know he was above them. He burned barns because he knew that would cause more financial hardship. I believe Snopes death symbolized his life. He killed so many dreams by burning barns that his dreamed was killed when his son went against him to save a barn.

I do believe Sarty was trying to do the right thing and maybe if he would save De Spain's barn and that his father could finally recognize that his behavior was wrong. Sarty even told his father in court that they would not pay De Spain one cent, so this implies that he was in agreement with his father that they were innocent but not in agreement of the burning of the barns.

Sarty's reality of his fathers destructive behavior is heightened when he seen him walk in the manure and then soil the De Spain rug. Sarty believed that since they were giving another chance, he father would change, but when he seen that he knew his father was still looking to provoke another barn owner.

His novels gave a nail biting truth to what was his reality at the time. His vivid, detailed view was funny and heartbreaking at times but it keeps you glued by saying things that others would want to say but can't out of fear.

From calling the dog a "nigger dog" to making Alexander sound like a idiot when he was the one that new how to get to the grave. More over, the movie due to censorship did not focus on the racism as much but showed more of the injustice. In 1949 The division is still high in the South. The failure of the movie shows could also be accounted to the portrayal of the Lucas as an strong black man, America was not ready to show that whites and blacks as equal.

Oxford was hesitant because this Faulkner's books was like holding a mirror up so the city could see their racist reflection, which the did not approve of until the Hollywood change their minds. Therefore, I believe that Hollywood in America can bring out the greed in us all.

The statement of showing a free black man that walked with confidence as any free white man in 1948. The message resonated with African Americans because they were usually portrayed in film to be the comedic figure. Chicks' uncle John Steven, gave a message in the end when he said e"This is a lesson for us". I believe this movie was a great lesson all on the perception we put on people due innate nature to be frightened of the unknown.

From the beginning he gave the viewer a look into separation and racism. But the irony of the movie is Miss Habersham, because the order generation was usually set in their way of racism. I believe this was the best movie because it did not focus only on the hate towards African Americans, it also should the aspect of justice for a human being Lucas Beauchamp.

Even in the Big Sleep him and Macall creates an attraction. Even though, this is a good reason to watch, I believe it's more about the suspense that drew the audience in. Bogart character is use to being the hero but in the Big Sleep it took a long, strategic path to get there.

The difference in his two characters is minimal even more his Bogart"s transformation more rough when he interacts with Eddie Mars.

The film culture does not give the same censorship as the novel. For example in The Reivers, when the family was taking a ride and Sarah the grandmother accompanied, Lushus, the grandfather spit tobacco out the window and it flew back on to Sarah's goggles. Even though, in film this may be a funny scene, no Star would want that roll. Even more, how would the fan base react toward that treatment to a woman. The audience was groomed with a certain expectation.

For the character Temple Drake to look like a damsel in distress throughout the story, nonetheless to commit perjury in the end, mirrors a wide range of the unexpected from beginning to end. During the time of the film there were objections of the volatile manner of the rape but the "sink and swim" manner in which it is written allows the reader/viewer to see more of the symbolism that Faulkner used.
