[edit] Racial Themes/Blackness as impurity
I just considerably bulked up the sectionn on racial issues in the book. It is probably the most important and most used symbolism in the book, yet there was very little on it. It's a tocuhy subject, so I want others to play around with it and expand it. -Terry 12:46, 31 December 2005
I didn't find much light in this book
The light in august isn't a very bright light. i actually found the book to be extremely dark. My name is Edwin and I have a problem. I am addicted to literature! someone else with this problem, please reach out and leave a message! thanks love you lots and lots!
I read this story for school, and honsetly didn't really enjoy it (i would much rather have a stephen king). though one thing did stick out to me, if Joe Christmas is suposed to represent Jesus Christ, then his foil character, Lena Grove, would have to be his antithesis, The devil. anyone else think this? Lena is always portrayed as inocent and naieve even though from the begining she is an unmarried pregnant woman, not very naieve to me, but the devil is just the same as her, always tempting and beautiful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.145.157.237 (talk) 19:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Light3etfg3.jpg
Image:Light3etfg3.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
