Barn Burning summary

As the short story, Barn Burning begins we see a young boy in back of a store, converted into
a court room. Mr. Harris claims that Mr. Snopes burned down his barn. Which he did, but there was no physical proof. Mr. Snopes and his family was told to get out of the county and never to return. They moved on to some land owned by Major De Spain and his wife. Things were going good until Abner Snopes soiled the rug that come from France. Major De Spain demanded that the Snopes clean the rug. When the two daughters (bovines) didn't do a good job, and the De Spains wasn't happy, Mr. Snopes took a stone to it and "cleaned" it and ruined it. Out of anger, he decided to burn down The De Spains barn. Before he could do that Sarty, the young son broke free from his mother, who was holding him from going and telling De Spains of his fathers future doing. They were ready for Mr. Snopes and rather than succeeding he failed and was getting his gun ready. Sartoris decides to leave and make a new life for himself rather than the one his father is providing for him.
In my opinion, Mr. Snopes is a angry,revengeful, abusive, full of himself, and paranoid by hatred for society. Sartoris, his younger son is taking things like a man because he has to. He is loving t0ward his father, but in a way he hates his ways of living and his legacy. The mother is worried about her family and scared for her husbands doings, past and present.
