It's a Quest!...or maybe not

Regarding the book, The Sound and the Fury, pages 128-165

This section seemed relatively boring actually.
Quentin was only traveling.  He skipped a day of school at Harvard, took a train and walked around.  The way he narrated his journey greatly resembled my own thoughts during a journey.  He would occaisionally pay attention to his surroundings, but otherwise his thoughts would travel as much as he did.  He seemed almost on autopilot.  His thoughts wandered to an encounter with a man who tried to offer him a cigar.  He often thought back to Caddy. I like Caddy, but I don't know what Quentin thinks of her yet.  His thoughts regarding Caddy are always repetitive. Caddy don't get married.  Caddy wants Quentin to take care of Benjy and their father.  Caddy's sick.  Caddy's going somewhere. 
Quentin thinks about how women are at one point in this section, but the words seem to be his father's.  Things about how women are bitches and never are virgins and how his father thinks that Caddy is better than Quentin.  Earlier in one of the parts I read, I think it was somewhere where I was awfully pissed at Quentin, where Quentin was thinking about Caddy and how she shouldn't do something hidden in the ditch in the dark woods furiously...
Quentin I think may see Caddy differently than Benjy sees her.  Benjy sees her as pure, ideal, motherly, a caretaker.  Quentin sees her for what she is doing, which has not been clearly said yet. 
During Quentin's travelling thoughts, he says a few odd things that I see just as those odd thoughts that cross your mind. As he was recounting a memory, he says "His face looked like a pumpkin." It was said almost out of the blue and i had to reread what was going on. He also says "O That That's Chinese I dont know Chinese." then it goes into his father telling him "It's because you're a virgin."
Besides his somewhat inner turmoil, he does meet a strange little poor girl I kind of liked because Quentin treated her kindly.  Once I think about it, his reaction to her was terribly stereotypical.  He gave her food. She followed him around.  He tried to find where she belonged, and after exhausting all options, he gives her a quarter and runs away.  I was intrigued by the little girl and really want her to come back into the story.

thats about it.  I occured a section without punctuation and I discovered, it isn't always Quentin's thoughts.  Sometimes its flashbacks and someone else is speaking.  I don't know if it fixes Benjy's section concerning pronoun confusion, but it does fix Quentin's section.
I am not nearly so pissed at Quentin right now. :)
