Others have discussed specific problems in the field, compiled philosophies and methods of leading writers and teachers, or studied textbooks used in oral reading. These investigations offer a means for students and teachers to note the trends in the study and philosophy of oral reading, including the specialized …

Because stabilization ponds are primarily successful due to solar radiation and vary according to climatic …

The Moral Order Of William Faulkner, Shirley Lease Kay Jan 1958

The Moral Order Of William Faulkner, Shirley Lease Kay

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to indicate William Faulkner’s belief in a moral order and then to show how this may be taught in the novel Light in August. I believe that there is more to Faulkner that “the agony and the rhetoric” and that his works are not merely” [tales] told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, and signifying nothing.” By considering our questions, I hope to establish the type of moral order in which Faulkner believes. These questions are (1) What is Faulkner’s attitude toward nature? (2) What is evil to him? (3) How does …
