A rose for Emily Made by William Faulkner, ¨A Rose for Emily¨ is a sad, dramatic, thinkative, horror story about the death of a young girl after the death of her father. It had a surreal, mysterious edge to it; the story as a whole is very good, with a big twist to it. The plot, tone, imagery and others have been done well to talk about the sad tale. I do not truly recommend to readers this story to start, but I do recommend this to other readers who are willing to read about short stories similar to this.

The point of view of the story is a second and third person point of view, meaning that the narrator was part of the story and now is telling what happened. It is explain that the person who is telling the readers is from the story and …show more content…

Another reason that this is both second and third point of view is that when the narrator turns out to be the author of the story; so this would explain that the author had used two point of views in the story.

The theme of the story is mostly a mysterious and horror story. It is tell like it is a sad story as well, with some plot twist added to it, The mysterious part comes from how it was set and the life of Emily after the death of her father. It tells the readers how Emily is feeling and making them wonder what is she doing in this situation and thinks to themselves how did this situation started. It is proven by in paragraph 3 where it claims, “Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon …show more content…

It feels so sad and timid about the tragedy from Emily, from the death of her father to her own demise of death. It is tragic to know that someone had been put into that much trouble in their own life. The suspense of the story is also something to be admired, it feels like the more you read, the more understandable and relatable as the author had put it for Emily. The ending is a plot twist without explaining; in order to understand what happened to the man by thinking about it, and that makes the story more desireable. In conclusion,¨A Rose for Emily¨ is a sad, dramatic, thinkative, and mysterious horror story that I recommend for anyone who is interested into finding out about the mystery and terror behind

    First, why does Faulkner present the plot in the way that he does? There can be numerous answers to this question, but I have narrowed it down to one simple answer. He presented the story in this way in order to keep the reader guessing and to also provide some sort of suspense. By Faulkner telling the story in the way that he does, the reader has no way of knowing what might be coming up next in the story. The last thing that a reader wants to do is read a boring story that is easy to predict. Faulkner keeps the reader from knowing what might happen next by not placing the events in the actual order that they occurred. He goes back and forth throughout Miss Emily’s life. At the introduction and conclusion of the story, she is dead, while the body consists of the times when she was alive. The body of the story also jumps back and forth throughout Miss Emily’s life. Faulkner brilliantly divided the story into five key parts, all taking place at some key

    Then, one has to tell the same story from a detached narrator point of view followed by the same story told from an observer narrator and an involved author point of views. This exercise was helpful to see which details are divulged and become known to the reader based on who is telling the story. The detached narrator was more omniscient, therefore more detail was needed in the story. The third person narrator only knew so much, so that narration was much more concise and contained less details about the other goings on of the story. I often struggle with which point of view to use in my stories, so this exercise was very helpful in determining which point of view to use based on what or which aspect of the story I want to

"A Rose for Emily" is more than just a story though; her death represents the passing of a more genteel way of life. That is much more saddening than the unforgettable scene of Homer's decaying body. The loss of respect and politeness is has a much greater impact on society than a construction worker who by trade is always trying to change things. Generation after generation Miss Emily happily escaped modernism by locking herself in her house – the past.
