Faulkner's Interview

During Meet the Firm Faulkner, Mackie and Cochran expressed an interest in me. I met Ward Austin of their tax department that evening. He felt I would be a good fit for their firm, and rather than participate in the on-campus interviews, wanted me to come to their office and meet some of his team to determine if I felt the same way.

They have requested I come this week for a lunch interview, something I am slightly intimidated by. So, besides the basic interview advice, do you have any tips? I felt very comfortable when I spoke with Ward and he was very personable.

Also, do you know anything of this firm? I have done research and cannot seem to find much. I know Ward is a Lipscomb Alumni. But do you know of any other recent Lipscomb

    Triumph In Faulkner's Sadistic-Passive Personality

    I witnessed an unbridled passive/ aggressive personality whose pattern impedes an unprecedented arrest and disturbance. The savage hostile personality hosted a unique personality sub-type. The quiet aggressor disconcerting since thoughtless, and an undisciplined pursuit of a self-serving agenda serve priority, and quite willing to run over those whom perceived as standing in her way. She'll do whatever it takes to “win,” and secure the dominant position, or get something she wanted. Still, for most of the passive/aggressive personalities, causing pain and injury to others is not her primary objective.…

    Justice In Faulkner's A Lesson Before Dying

    In A Lesson Before Dying,an African American man is wrongly convicted of murder. Jefferson's attorney completely dehumanizes Jefferson in order to use reverse psychology on the jury. This was unnecessary because during the 1940’s people of color were never declared innocent even if they were. Basically if you were black no justice would be served. Furthermore, the attorney makes it clear that Jefferson is no where close to being a man and therefore shouldn’t be killed.…

    Tradition And Honor In Faulkner's Literature

    Tradition and honor are two trusted guides used in cultures around the world, not only by the actions of a society, but also utilized by the actions of the singular man. In Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily", Faulkner establishes the story in the unique culture of the American South, ripe with the following of tradition and honor: manipulating his characters and the action of the story to reflect the importance these concepts possess in his story. Similarly, O'Brien, author of "How to Tell a True War Story", employs the concepts of honor and tradition, comparing and contrasting them to the realities of war and its effect on all who are…

    As I Lay Dying is branched into fifty-nine bits of internal discourse by 15 characters with 1st point of view. Each with their unique insight and different way of linking to reality. The novel is a chain of constitutional lecture and through this pathway the reader is able to bring the story together. Because of the perspicacity of the narrators, one can barely confide with them.

    Identity In Faulkner's Savage By Flannery O Connor

    In the name of the protagonist are prefigured tensions and polarities that span the life of the character and also their society of origin. On one side is Clare, clear, and the other is Savage, wild, a term associated with darkness. She is the daughter of a "more white" father, descended from English planters, and a "rather dark" mother. This original tension between a father who seems to be able to "pass" for white and a mother who feels closer in their acceptance of black heritage, will be decisive in many moments of her life. It is for her resemblance to the father, for example, that the mother leaves her with him in America.…

    Faulkner And Eudora Welty: An Analysis

    If there was ever a school that matched my personality, it would be Washington and Lee. Its small, traditional campus prefers a warm, but not a "sweat your socks off" climate, just as I do. It is a school that was instituted on the backs of Southern history and remains as a breeding ground for the traditional past. In reading Southern literature this fall, including the works of William Faulkner and Eudora Welty, the themes of the South became increasingly relevant and applicable to me.…

    The Power Of Authority In Barn Burning By William Faulkner

    In Barn Burning by William Faulkner, Abner Snopes effortlessly establishes authority over his impoverished family by being the father of two boys and two girls. Throughout the story, he makes his family lie about his burning of neighbors’ personal items, especially his neighbors’ barns. Instead of having a terrible temper and burning neighbors’ property as a result of rage, Abner remains very tranquil, yet demanding, while controlling his family and forcing them into keeping his burning a secret. Similar to Abner, Gilgamesh in The Epic of Gilgamesh translated by Maureen Gallery Kovacs, also creates authority in an effortless way by being born as a king who is two-thirds god and one-thirds human. In this epic, Gilgamesh feels so much in power…
