What motivates Abner Snopes to burn these men's barns? Why is Sarty
conflicted in whether or not he should support his father?

Snopes burn people barns because they make him anger or he do it for
revenge. Sarty knows that his father is doing a bad thing but its his
father and he is always there to support him

They stain is rug and this makes him mad. He wants the barn to stay,
so that is why he trys to get help before the barn is burned down.

When Abner Snopes got mad at someone he would burn there barn down.
Someone stained his rug so he is gone burn their barn down. Sarty
knows his father is gone burn the barn down and doesn't think its
right, so he warns the guy.

The main reason the man Snopes burns barns is because the man is
crazy. He want to get some kind of revenge and this is the best way
he can succeed.One thing I don't like is how the boy supports his dad.
The father is wrong for making his son believe that this stupid idea
of barn burning is right. He did all this because someone stained his
rug. All i can say is that rug better have a lot of value for this man
to be so crazy in the head.

Snopes is a man that is challenged in the brain to keep his cool and
to be the bigger man about things. It seems to be that if anybody
makes him mad he just goes crazy and burns things. The son is a
character that needs to tell because his dad is in the wrong and he
knows that because he knows that his father is crazy.

Abner had a abusive father and he didn't like his neighbors. because
he wanted to end that and only his friends werethe ones to support him
he had to choose which one or side he would have to keep in order for
hiz trobles to go away. the barns means alot to him but in order for
abner to send a message across he has to burn it.

abner has a abusive father and has a dislike for his neighbors. and he
wants to burn the barn down becuase its either for revenge or jut cuz
of hate for his father. and at the same time he can't do it because
most of the time his father has always been his father and being there
for him kind of makes him hesitte
