I think the most obvious way Jason copes with his own and his family’s former prominence is to assert his own power over Caddy, Dilsey, and Luster. He is able to control Caddy not only because he is stronger then her, but he is exploiting Caddy’s desire to see her daughter for personal financial gain. He is able to control Dilsey and Luster racially and financially because he is a white man and provides for them. He exerted his power over Dilsey by threatening her and racially oppressing her. I…

When leaving a place that's been you home forever and just being pulled out of it you need to mentally prepare and have the strength…

This past month, I’ve put in quite a few hours at my job, a Christian bookstore and (to anyone who has been there, this won’t come as any kind of shock) our usual clientele is (to put it bluntly) old. And I’m okay with that. Old(er) people don’t normally scare me (unless they’re super cranky and/or insane). All that being said, it’s usually a rare occurrence when we end up with younger people in the store. I’m not sure why I have this inclination, but when people of that age end up in store,…

The movie accurately displayed the time period and events in history that it was based on.
