Bob likes cheese EssayIn these pages a a couple of(prenominal) years ago, I reported on some of my findings at having reached very old age. I was then in my early 90s. Five years farther down the hill, I have a few more matters to note. Certainly I have not gained in wisdom, but due to so brusk physical activity and fewer social goings-on, I have begun to inhabit the static house of my head.

Ernest Hemingway boils things down to the essentials, his friend William Faulkner lets the pot boil over, spilling onto the stove, down onto the floor, and maybe somehow catching the kitchen on fire.With Faulkner we can feel the vines tangling, the magnolias blooming, the plants more or less Emilys house breeding, helping to hide her from the harshness of the world she lives in, a world in which she doesnt really belong. This tangling of blooming and breeding is replic ated in the fancy words and long, complicate sentences for which Faulkner is famous.Part of lushness is that other side of nature, the side we might not want to look at, and the side thats in store for everything in nature termination and decay. Faulkner never neglects this side (certainly not here), and with every blooming rose, he gives us a rotting one, too.The lushness is also ironic, and perhaps a reaction against a lack of lushness. We know that although Emilys place was probably lush and overgrown, she never went outside to enjoy it, and only rarely even let in the light from outside. The fabrication not only celebrates a lush life, by representing its opposite, but also cautions us against alienating others, against pushing others to hide from the light of life.Next Page Whats Up With the Title?
