"Roskus said."I told you two years ago. They aint no luck on this place.""
What happened two years ago? Why is there no luck? Is this foreshadowing?
This would be useful in the future I am sure. This quotation peaks interest and it causes the reader to think of what is going on and to question what it is to make this place unlucky. Yet, it is also passed over as the black slaves speaking nonsense. Faulkner may be using the slaves as speakers of his opinions and truths. We cannot be sure at this point though.
So interesting that you are making the connection to Mockingbird. There is something that ties the southern writers together in style and purpose.
