Hello all, here is my first blog!
I hope to help enlighten you on my journey toward interpreting the great and knowledgeable William Faulkner. Here's what I've discovered so far:
William Faulkner was born in New Albany Mississippi on September 25, 1897. In 1915 Faulkner dropped out of High School after the eleventh grade, though this didn't stop him from accomplishing various achievements. One of his major accomplishments was his development of the legendary Yoknapatawpha County. In his later years he remarked, "I never did like school and stopped going to school as soon as I got big enough to play hooky and not get caught at it." Faulkner went on to become an American writer and praised Nobel Prize laureate. Not only did he receive the Nobel Prize, but later in 1955 he also claimed the title of a Pulitzer Prize winner, as well gaining a National Book Award for A Fable.
