Seconding Dotty's suggestion for group feedback and discussion

Hi all --

In addition to the questions that Dotty mentions below, I heard from Steve Knepper, who asks if we should set up a category for capturing "point-of-view" as part of a character's data, or maybe an event's data -- i.e. Barn Burning is narrated, in third person, but consistently from Sarty's point of view. I could see this becoming very important with something like As I Lay Dying, where same events are re-narrated from different points of view.

What defines a Location?

Hello everyone,

The station lies at the base of "the plateau on which the town proper had been built" (160).

There are quite a few burial places in Yoknapatawpha, but this one, reached by driving up "a narrow lane" at "the edge of town" (396), seems to be the main one in Yoknapatawpha. It is segregated. In the "whitefolks' section" lie the Sartorises (397). The graves of Colonel John, Old Bayard, Young Bayard and his twin brother John are specifically mentioned. Simon Struthers' grave is "the negro ground" (397).
