Barn Burning Morals.
Barn Burning was about a man that burnt down someone's barn to get back at him for not fixing the fence after he had warned him and provided that man with all the materials he would have needed to fix the fence. The man's pig got out once again, so Abner burnt down his barn. Was this right? No, people can't go running around burning barns down to prove their point. No one would have a barn left, plus it is also endangering many people. Should the man have repaired his fence? Yes. This whole story and reason for burning the barn down was ridiculous. But, my favorite part was when the little boy had proved that one can learn right from wrong even when growing up with people that make bad life choices.

I agree, the barn burning was an extreme act of revenge. The guy just wanted his neighbor to build a fence to keep his pig from escaping. I mean, he even supplied the needed tools. As you said, the best part was in the end when the young boy stood up to his father. It is sad he had to do it, but it's a pleasant thought that people can do the right thing even when they've been taught to be bad.
