Facts from Research

Hello and welcome to my blog everyone. In this blog I'll be discussing the Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. I'm going to open up this blog by first stating some fun facts about William Faulkner to get you interested. I did some research on him and through my research on Faulkner I found some fascinating and interesting things. First of all I learned that he won two Pulitzer prizes and even the Nobel prize for Literature! That's an incredible feat. I also learned that he had created the country of Yoknapatawpha because a friend, writer Sherwood Anderson, Had suggested that Faulkner right about places and people that he was familiar with. Ever since then all of his novels and stories have taken place here. My favorite fact that I had learned about him though is that He wanted to join the military and ended up getting in and going through all the training but when he was done and got out the war had just ended. So after he recieved an honorable discharge he bought himself a uniform and a set of air force wings and wore them around frequently. Faulkner didn't want to accept his nobel prize because he felt it was his writing getting the prize not him.
