Random paragraph

I chose to do my paper on how Faulkner uses the stream of consciousness method to portray his characters. It was a new method for me to read. I think it would be interesting to try and write a story using stream of consciousness if one had the time. I decided to publish a random paragraph from my paper. This paragraph comes  after I talk about Benjy's and how I think the method of stream of consciousness works for his section. Here are some of my thoughts about the always elusive but beloved Caddy:

 

The only problem is Caddy is the only person Benjy feels attachment too. For a person of Benjy’s limited intelligence, he becomes attached to the point of obsession. Almost everything in Benjy’s section of the book revolves around Caddy or a memory of her. When Caddy marries and leaves the house, he becomes extremely upset and cries at every mention of her name. One of Benjy’s memories with Caddy includes Jason, the youngest brother cutting up the dolls Benjy and Caddy had made together (Faulkner, 65). This becomes ironic later in life when Jason is the prime suspect in leaving open the gate so Benjy can get out and follow some school girls that remind him of Caddy. Jason, as Benjy’s power of attorney, agrees to Benjy’s castration, though it isn’t clear that Benjy did anything wrong but to follow the school girls. -Esther Millette
