I attached the story

Read “A Rose for Emily” and post responses to two of these questions:

 The narrator uses the perspective of “we.” How does this affect the

narrative?

does the narrator mean by, “Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a

duty, and a care.”?

 Why does Emily live in the past? How do you feel about her?

 How do you feel about Homer? How would you characterize him?

 What does Faulkner achieve by disrupting the time sequence of her life?

 Explain the function of dust and decay in the story.

 Does Emily’s father have anything to do with her tragedy?
