tomorrow

After reading the short story Tomorrow by William Faulkner I was confused to say the least. The story starts out in a courtroom where they mention a plethora of different characters and gave little back story on any of them. I had a hard time keeping the characters straight and after trying to re-read the pages got very frustrated. Not to mention when I watched the movie today there was not a courtroom seen at all. Unlike the movie, they gave a description of Fentry and what kind of people he came from. It told us the he knew very little except how to work hard. Basically they just took advantage of his work ethic. I think the conditions to which he was living were very poor but Fentry didn’t seem to mind at all. The way he treated the pregnant lady was to be admired as well. It shows the he did need companionship and maybe her passing out near him was some kind of sign. The story all in all had me confused to how all these characters connect to each other. I would also say I was not a big fan of the story or the movie due to its boring and almost awkward dialogue.
