Emily’s mother is just a teenager when she had Emily. She did not have the money or resources to take care of her, so she had to let Emily live with her grandparents for a couple of years before she could get Emily back. When Emily was two, her mother finally got her custody of her, but Emily is not the little girl she remembered. When the mother first had Emily, she described her as a beautiful baby (302), but it changed when Emily became sickly and got scars from chicken pox. The mother said, “When she finally came, I hardly knew her, walking quick and nervous like her father, looking like her father, thin, and dressed in a shoddy red that yellowed her skin and glared at the pockmarks. All the baby loveliness gone. (302)” Nevertheless, the mother is never there for Emily as she grew up. Emily tried to show her mother in different ways that she needed her, but she never seemed to catch the hint. For example, when Emily was two her mother sent her to a nursery school. The teacher of the nursery school was mistreating the children, and instead of telling her mother directly like the other kids told their parents, she told her in different ways. She always had a reason why we should stay home. Momma, you look sick. Momma, I feel sick. Momma, the teachers aren’t there today, they’re sick. Momma, we can’t go, there was a fire there last night. Momma, it’s a holiday

After Emily's father dies, we find her becoming involved with a gay man named Homer Baron who she probably believes she will eventually marry. It is her continual relying on a male figure that gets Emily into this situation. It is the setting in which she lye that has this impact on her thought and understanding.
The world is an ever-revolving place. Where in the blink of an eye what was once considered trendy and interesting becomes obsolete in minutes. Fashion, publications, social media, entertainment, and celebrities are news one minute and cease to be acknowledged the next. Which is why when a cable television show, targeted at teenagers on a moderately popular network becomes the most watched television show on Tuesday nights, people have something to talk about. Pretty Little Liars, an ambitious show- for the network that once was solely dedicated to Christian shows such as 700 club- has quickly redefined the way that a show can measure its success. In an article published by Entertainment Weekly it clearly and effectively documents the show and also its rule bending success.
Emily father was highly favored in the town. Faulkner writes in his Short Story Criticism, “The Griersons have always been “high and mighty,” somehow above “the gross, teeming world….” Emily’s father was well respected and occasionally loaned the town money. That made her a wealthy child and she basically had everything a child wanted. Emily’s father was a very serious man and Emily’s mind was violated by her father’s strict mentality. After Emily’s father being the only man in her life, he dies and she find it hard to let go of him. Because of her father, she possessed a stubborn outlook on life and how thing should be. She practically secluded her self from society for the remainder of her life.
Emily’s isolation is evident because after the men that cared about her deserted her, either by death or simply leaving her, she hid from society and didn’t allow anyone to get close to her. Miss Emily is afraid to confront reality. She seems to live in a sort of fantasy world where death has no meaning. Emily refuses to accept or recognize the death of her father, and the fact that the world around her is changing.
At the beginning of the story Emily is just an ordinary little girl, but as the story continues she begins to feel herself changing. By the end of the story, Emily has gained self-consciousness and thinks of herself not as an ordinary little girl but as “Emily”.
Emily’s upbringing is plagued with difficulties. She is the first-born of a young mother and the eldest of five brothers and sisters. As a baby, she is constantly left at the care of others while her mother had to work after her father abandons them. Additionally, she is often sick, triggering a series of events that have emotionally affected her life. She definitely experiences a “stressful growth” (Frye 288).
Emily’s psychotic personality disorder is made completely obvious through the details of the story. Before his death Emily’s father refused to allow her to reach sexual maturity by preventing her from loving any man below their class. This caused sexual ...
Four friends get into an argument with their manipulative leader and wind up killing her on accident. They bury her body, cover it with cement, and think that is all to that and that they will get away with everything and no one will ever know what they have done. The story picks up three years later, and quickly you see that the four have been separated in the time since middle school. It then shows them return to Rosewood, the town that they used to live in. Things have changed for each member of the group. Aria is more sophisticated since returning from Iceland. Emily, after becoming friends with the new girl Maya, develops feelings for her fast. Spencer struggles with her sister, Melissa, who is perfect. She also has feelings for Wren, Melissa 's boyfriend. Hanna, who has lost weight and is now popular, starts to get text messages from someone calling themselves A. A seems to know all the secrets that only Alison
Emily was the eldest child in the family. When she was born, her mother was only nineteen years old. Of course, her mother had no experience in raising children and anyone around to teach her how to be a mother. Moreover, when Emily was a one year old, her father abandoned them. Therefore, Emily’s mother had to leave her with a neighbor so she could go to work and earn money for the daughter. Despite the fact that Emily was very small and did not realize all the things, it was the first turning point in the relationship of Emily and her mother.
Miss Emily’s refusal to change all started when her father had passed away and when asked about it she was in denial and “she told them her father was not dead.” She didn’t want to come to the realization that the only person in her life that loved her and protected her was gone. The fact that he was so controlling of her life and how she lived made Miss Emily afraid of what was going to happen next. She wasn’t used to making her own life choices.
Wes is an orphan from Haiti, and his mother committed suicide. Michaela’s engaged, but not sure if she wants to get married since she has pressure to sign a prenup and the possibility of her fiancé having sexual intercourse with Connor. Asher is trying to get away from his father’s shadow who is a judge. Laurel is trying to make a name for herself while not having the support of her family. Connor is trying to find himself and his sexual orientation. My favorite student is Asher because he is goofy and clueless; he is all about enjoying the company of others. One thing I like in Annalise is her work ethic; she works and making sure the clients obtain the least amount of punishment as possible, even though, her antics might not be legal.
