and William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning" in terms of the

that in both cases, the main characters were raised with extremely negative
family values, but while Faulkner's character -- a boy -- was able to reverse
that tendency, Crane's character -- a girl -- was unable to do so because she
relied too heavily on others for her salvation. No additional sources.
