Abstract
The paper reviews the book "The Approaching Fury: Voices of the Storm, 1820-1861" by Oates. The writer finds the strong personalities speaking in their own voices to be an effective mechanism for conveying understanding of the issues and feelings leading up to the American Civil War, going back to the Missouri Crisis of 1819 under President Thomas Jefferson. The writer concludes that Oates proves that war was inevitable back then, but that the problems which led up to the war have still not been resolved today.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"It seems that Oates starts with Thomas Jefferson because Jefferson is so upset over the Missouri crisis of 1819 to 1820. It was the first crisis over the territorial issue of slavery, and it was a that issue that ultimately leads to the Civil War. Jefferson looks into the future and he actually sees the Civil War and he says "It's going to be like a tornado." And he's the first to look into the future and see that this territorial issue and the issue of slavery is going to blow the nation apart. Jefferson's sense of forboding that the country is taking a fateful turn with the controversy over Missouri and slavery in the territories knows there will be no turning back. Jefferson gets so passionate., and he see the "approaching fury.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses J.G. Ballard's short story "The Voices of Time". The writer focuses on the themes of surrealism and inner space that commingle in this work. The writer notes that the setting Ballard selects for "The Voices of Time" intensifies the surrealist atmosphere of the story, revealing the supernatural in the natural. In addition, the writer maintains that this setting shows how the core themes of the story of evolution and time become manifest most poignantly in the human mind. Further, the writer discusses that the surrealistic imagery throughout "The Voices of Time" is nothing but the human mind grappling with its own mortality and relative insignificance in relation to the grandeur of the universe at large.
From the Paper
"Ballard describes Powers' death with precision, blending surrealism with inner space and encapsulating the mood of the entire short story. Death and mortality are keys to understanding Powers' mind, because although he is surrounded by oddities and distortions of form and reality, Powers is fundamentally human. Acutely aware of his impending death, Powers spends his last moments engaged in a sublime meditation. Although he has witnessed some of the most grotesque abnormalities possible, although he has transformed human consciousness to the point of eradicating sleep from Kaldren's life, Powers retains a sense of wonder for the world. Seen through his eyes, the world comes alive with fantastic and surreal impact."

Abstract
This paper studies the usage of time as a literary element in "The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner. The paper explains that Faulkner employed stream of consciousness in this novel, a groundbreaking development in literature. The paper shows how this style enabled Faulkner to explain his story through four sets of eyes, causing the reader to experience the events in a new way each time. The paper also demonstrates how "The Sound and the Fury" relies heavily on a time motif and the impermanence of time. The paper relates to each of the novel's separate time sequences: one spanning three days, from April 6, 1928 to April 8, 1928, the other spanning thirty years, from 1898 to 1928. The paper concludes with a positive review of Faulkner's effective sequences of the passage of time.
From the Paper
"'The Sound and the Fury' is written in four voices each one with a different view of the events which transpire. The first section, commonly referred to as the 'Benjy section,' is written from the perspective of thirty-three year old Benjy, who suffers from a mental handicap. This section rapidly jumps through scenes without regard to time, showing us Benjy's lack of acknowledgement of time and presenting a formidable challenge in comprehension when read. The second section, known as the 'Quentin section' is written from the perspective of the Benjy's oldest brother, Quentin, who is an extremely moral and virtuous man, believing in the purity of youth and struggles to maintain it, or the illusion thereof. The 'Jason section' follows, and is from the perspective of the middle Compson boy, Jason, a lover of money and immorality. The last section is Faulkner's explanation of the story. Using the character of Dilsey, the Compson family's black house servant, to present an outside view of the family's saga, Faulkner explains the novel in his own narrative voice."

From the Paper
"In part II of the book, he used his professional knowledge in a sensitive and compassionate examination of latest research on the relationship between language and the organization of brain and mind that finally made him join the Gallaudet University community for the exciting week in 1988 that concluded in the appointment of the institution's first deaf president (Ed. Robert, 2004). He also opined that sign is not just a language but it is a very important medium of deaf culture. It remains at the center of the exceptional social and political movement for deaf rights, which obtained international attention with the uprising of deaf students at Gallaudet University in March 1988 (Ed. Robert, 2004). Further, he reflected on the association between the scholarly movement that verified that sign is a real language and the political movement that blocked control of that 124-year-old university for the deaf (Ed. Robert, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and critiques William Faulkner's novels "The Sound and the Fury" and "Absalom! Absalom!". The author maintains that both novels share the same objective -- to demonstrate the way in which people perceive and interpret past events. Furthermore, both works forgo traditional, chronological writing, opting instead for stream of consciousness. The paper explains that these techniques, coupled with strong characterization, reveals not only the novels' major themes but also some of the smaller, underlying themes hidden within the pages.
From the Paper
"As with many of Faulkner's writings, 'The Sound and the Fury' and 'Absalom! Absalom!' share the common prevailing theme of the destruction of the South or society post-Civil War. Another important theme, but only within 'The Sound and the Fury' is that of time, one's perception of time, and the affect of time. However, reading deeper into the novels reveals several other important if not prevalent themes. For instance the destruction of the family and of the self. The novels, though, are essentially one in the same despite the obvious differences such as the story being told differently or the use of different characters with the exception of Quentin. Furthermore, many of the events, as well as the characters, within 'The Sound and the Fury' are merely reflections of those present in 'Absalom! Absalom!'."

Mother Figures in "The Sound and the Fury", 2006.

Abstract
This essay compares and contrasts Caroline Compson and Dilsey Gibson as mother figures within the novel "The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner. This paper is written within the terms of their relative positive and negative influence on the Compson family, and the Compson children in particular. Throughout the novel Caroline Compson, the children's real mother, is lacking as either a mother figure or a positive influence of any kind, while Dilsey Gibson admirably fulfills both roles. Faulkner, though, implies hope for the Compsons, and, by association, post-Reconstruction South itself. The conclusion allows that in reflecting on the relative strengths and weaknesses of Caroline and Dilsey, it is clear that Dilsey Gibson, not Caroline Compson, finally exerts more influence over the Compson family.
From the Paper
"Both Caroline Compson and her husband, Jason Compson III, are neglectfully detached from their children. It is Caroline's chronic self-absorption, however (at her children's expense) that, as Faulkner implies, is more hurtful and damaging to them. Caroline seems interested in two things only. The first is her own self, and her numerous personal needs, rather these are imaginary or real. The second is her family's declining social importance within Jefferson. Caroline is in fact so obsessed with the latter that when it becomes clear that the child originally named Maury, after Caroline's brother Maury Bascomb is severely mentally retarded, Caroline changes his name to Benjamin ("Benjy"), so as not to reflect badly on the older Maury, or her family name. Clearly, from that example alone, we recognize that Caroline's first affections and loyalties are not to her children."

Abstract
This paper discusses William Faulkner's book, "The Sound and the Fury," with a focus on the book's African-American characters. The paper contends that it may appear on many occasions that Faulkner was a racist and that his descriptions of blacks were a reflection of a biased mind. However, the paper asserts that, if the larger picture is viewed, Faulkner pays tribute to the strength and endurance of black folks in those times.
From the Paper
"William Faulkner is often criticized for his racist remarks and racist portrayal of African Americans in his novels. It is believed that Faulkner was very much a product of his times and thus made no particular effort to stay away from generalizations and projected blacks as illiterate 'monkeys' who were rather 'insignificant'. However this view can be challenged to certain extent by closely studying few African American characters in The Sound and The Fury, however there are some other instances in the same novel that reinforce the critics' view of Faulkner."
