Regarding the book, The Sound and The Fury, pages 223-259
As I begin my journey into the third perilous section of the land of Sounding Fury, I am guided through by Jason, the last sibling to Benjy, Caddy, and Quentin. I've discovered that although my hatred for Quentin was only in confusion, my dislike for Jason is truly in his character. He is a prejudiced...one sec, I wrote something simply amazing on a post-it note...

QUENTIN!
Jason has revealed why Quentin has always pissed me off because of gender confusion.
Quentin is:

iii.basically understood as a Justin Beiber like character: Justin says Justin's a boy but we all think he's lying. Spark notes says Quentin's a boy, but we all think it's just confused |
ia.in Harvard
ib.cares about Caddy
ic.male
ii.*drumroll*Caddy's illegitimate daughter!
iia.lives with Jason's mother, Jason, and Benjy
iib.as rebellious as Caddy
iic.is seen as a slut by Jason
iid.doesn't know her mother
iie. Female!
It all makes sense!
It occurred to me while reading this section, that maybe this story is actually about Caddy told through the view of her brothers. In the first section Benjy tells about Caddy, and she's always the innocent, motherly sister, a little girl. In Quentin's section, he portrays Caddy as a young woman who is making bad choices and he wants to take care of her and make it all better. Jason sees Caddy as a slut, just like her illegitimate daughter, Quentin, whom he has taken in. So although the actual storyline is not chronological, the pieces pertaining to Caddy are in order. Her part in the story is in a logical organization.
As I travel through the Land of Sounding Fury, I have encountered confusion, time travel, mental illness, immorality, racism, sexism, money, violence. What will be uncovered next?
