Wes is constantly put down because of his brother’s achievements; these situations can either make or break Wesley. In all families, there is a member who thrives on ‘power trips’, and in this specific situation, it was Julian, “He wanted, he needed, power…he was a dominating man who drew sustenance and strength from controlling others” (20).

William Faulkner received the O. Henry award for the year’s best work of short fiction. In William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning,” the main character is Colonel Sartoris Snopes or “Sarty” for short. This young boy is torn between loyalty to his father and morality, and this story deals with that struggle. Sarty is a “round” character, changing through the story as he moves from “sticking to his own blood” to thinking more of himself and his own welfare. At first, he is extremely loyal to his father, as we see with most young boys they think their fathers can do no wrong, they place them on a pedestal and look up to them.

In the first stanza, “loved his garden like an only son”, the simile explains the displacement Peter felt due to his father spending more time with his garden rather than with his only son. Furthermore the formal address, “…feliks skrzynecki” highlights the disconnection between himself and his father, where he knew him as a father, not “feliks skrzynecki”. Furthermore, the preceeding ellipsis adds to the hesitation of Peter and calling him “feliks”. The tension between him and his father can be seen at an all time high when Peter talks about forgetting his “First polish word”, which is juxtaposed with a great literary work; “Caesar’s gallic war”, in which he stumbled over whilst reading the tenses. This highlights Peter’s distance from the polish society and moving towards a more educated and Australian society.
