Faulkner uses an anonymous narrator that is considered to be the voice of “the town” and tells the story out of chronological order. The story basically uses the life of Emily Grierson as a symbol for the changes in the South after the Civil War. Faulkner illustrates the South through the use of a series of symbols‚ such as Emily’s house‚ hair‚ and even Emily’s “rose”

Last Child in the Woods Analysis Throughout Last Child in the Woods‚ Louv talks about how mankind is losing his connection with nature and how society today is instead widening the gap by focusing on technology instead of nature. As part of the technological generation of kids‚ I believe this is very true as I recollect my parents sharing with me what they did when they grew up and I was answered with “we played outside” and “we didn’t have all of the technology today you guys have”.

Rose for Emily I chose “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner as my topic for my final research paper because I felt that it flowed very well‚ and I loved the twist at the end. Emily was an extremely private character therefore you had to rely on the gossip from the town to figure out who she truly was.

February 2‚ 2011 A day I will never forget is the last football game of my eighth grade year. We the Saint Jo Panthers were undefeated‚ and we were playing the Wild Cats‚ who also were undefeated.

They went for the two-point conversion‚ since I knew what play they were running by the way they lined up‚ a quarterback draw‚ fake‚ pass. I was able to stop them. The

Larice Sullivan English 1102-115 Professor McNamara September 5‚ 2014 Character Analysis of Emily in William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily In the story A Rose for Emily‚ I think the main character Emily made fairly unjust choices.

Fishing Trip I remember it like it was yesterday blood was everywhere; my pants leg was soaked and weighted down from the bleeding. The bottom of the truck had turned into a crimson sea of red. The throbbing in my thigh had been replaced with numbness and nausea. As everything started to fade‚ I remember my cousin Joe saying over and over in a nervous voice‚ "You will be okay‚ just hang in There..." Fishing is one of my favorite things to do but there is one fishing trip that I will never forget. Earlier
