    Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan, is by far my favorite movie of all time. From top shelf actors, to the unbelievably intricate script, it is simply a production masterpiece through and through. From start to finish, Nolan uses the depth and complexity of the plot to have the audience asking questions that can only truly be answered based off each person’s own opinion about what they saw in the movie. As well as second to none visuals and crisp execution of every single scene. From the incredible work the climax is comprised of, to dialogue between two characters late at night in a quiet warehouse.…

    William Faulkner is a Southern writer who, in work after work, has gone back to the same inexhaustible source; the American South, its disturbed present and its tormenting past. In Absalom, Absalom!, his greatest and most rewarding literary work, he devotes his mature powers to a full spectrum examination of main's reliance on the past and of the extent to which man is responsible for the past. His strong condemnation of the values of the south emanates from the actual story which Quentin tells in response to a Northerner's question what is the South like. Quentin then tells the story of the Sutpen family, whose history must be seen as analogous to the history of the South, The father, Thomas Sutpen, stands for all the great and noble qualities,…
