I started Faulkner in the 10th grade, so I was about 16. My class was divided into groups of 5 and each group had to analyze "The Bear." Each person in the group had to take one chapter, and because I was the one who read all of the time, my group decided I should get Chapter 4 with all of the stream of consciousness stuff. I was fascinated by the emotional struggle of Ike and his reaction to his own history, so from that moment on, I was hooked. :)

A quote from which I know none of you will understand the fourth line, lol.

smile, because you deserve it
laugh, because its music to his ears
and smack your *** and yell knockstar" ~ Mrs Kevin Wynne

And my sig.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
