Faulkner Project

The Faulkner Family Tree Prezi that Sonia and I are doing for our final project is coming along well. It has taken an unexpected turn in the layout since we are creating our own formatted template. We found a new tree for the template and I used adobe Photoshop to edit both that tree and the other tree we were planning on using as the individual family trees. We also found some really good pictures of characters and events on an outside art source. Now all we need to do is write the characterization blurbs as well as put each family together in their trees and find out what characters overlap in each of Faulkner’s works. Some appear more than twice. We also decided to add another aspect to the family tree that Sonia came up with and are including the history of each family and their contribution to Southern society. So as I am putting together the formatting and we are both taking three Faulkner families to focus on. We need to explain each character and their importance to each of Faulkner’s works that they are featured in. When this is put together in one document we will input it into our tree template and add some other multimedia sources. Presently I’m deciding the order in which to present each family and putting together the presentation aspects of the Prezi through formatting. This is going to be just one big hypertext document with a bunch of different outlets for learning about Faulkner and different people’s interpretations of his characters and works. It will also exemplify the Faulkner families in their roles in the Old South. This will tie together our presentation together and make it applicable to Faulkner, the Old South and every work we have and will read by the end of the semester.
