As The Sound and The Fury continued to the year 1910, the story fluctuated into Quentin's narroration. Quentin's character created a much more comprehendable story line, but he continued the same theme of leaping from one period to another.  Quinten seemed to lack the ability to constantly recongnize himslef within his narration. There were times when I became rather thrown off because he would be talking about himself, but not in terms of first person. While the chapter progressed, the punctuation drastically deteriorated. Because of this unique grammatically absent chapter, it was difficult to see who exactly Quentin was referring to, particularly during dialogue. The run on sentences forced me to read with the flow of his chaotic thoughts that were like a highway that struggles on with occasional debris. Overall, Quentin's chapter created a new view and perspective for the reader and because we saw within his thoughts, we have now learned the progression of Quentin's mental illness.
