Light in August, a novel written by the well-known author, William Faulkner, can definitely be interpreted in many ways. However, one fairly obvious prospective is through a religious standpoint.

A View from the Inside: Analyzing Friday Night Lights
Friday Night Lights is a good view of how football envelops the live of everyone in the Texas town of Odessa.

Slavery is then mainly concentrated in the South, involving more agrarian

The Role of Animals in the Unbearable Lightness of Being and Poems New and Collected
Since animals, usually pets, are sometimes an essential part of one's life, it is not surprising that we find frequent references to its role in works of social realism, such as Wislawa Szymborska's Poems New and Collected and Milan Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being.
