Biography:
The people who live in the "negro cabins" at the southern edge of town in this novel appear mainly as the "faces" that "come suddenly to the doors, white-eyed," as the Bundrens pass by with their malodorous burden (229).
Note:
The idea that these are black characters is based on the fact of the homes being called “cabins” and the three black boys also walking along the street (although there is also a white man walking). A potentially problematic assumption.
