Emily’s Rose Owner of two Pulitzer Prizes and a Noble Prize in literature‚ William Faulkner has many great poems‚ novels‚ short stories‚ and screen plays.

The tales of such innocence‚ a sweet young girl turns into a desperate‚ love-seeking woman. This occurs in the story “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner.

Kara Walker is a disrupter. The kind of rabble-rouser that evokes the power of the visual to create artistic works that undo the sanitized rendering of American history. Her form of resistance has its genesis in placing on display the horrific conditions and savagery that black bodies have experienced at various stages in time.
