February 7, 2011 William Faulkner __Light in August__ I have learned that Lena Grove is her name. She is pregnant. A teenage pregnancy. It is looked down upon, considering she isn't married. The father of her baby left her after promising to be there to help her. She hitches a ride with a man, a man who is married and who shouldn't be picking up a women on the side of the road. He is terrified to see his wife after picking her up and offering her a place to stay. And of course he was right, she was upset by the homecoming of Lena. She is just now trying to hitch a ride to a next door town, called Jefferson. This is all the farther i've read. I find it really interesting. The writing is a little difficult to understand. I have had to re read this quite a few times. I am getting kind of attached to this book. I'm going to continue reading.

January 24, 2011 William Faulkner __Light in August__ Well i've only ready the first two pages. I haven't been hooked. I am not quite interested in this book yet. I know there is a young girl who has just moved from Alaska and her parents have passed away. It talks about "this girl" who i have no idea of the name of, going into town on a wagon. She also always wanted to walk beside the wagon so it would look like she lived in this town, and for some reason this bothered her. Her parents both were killed in the same summer. Her and her brother, Mckinley, go to a town called Doane's Mill. This is all i know and am able to right about today.
