Rafael G. Literary Criticism: The Cask of Amontillado When doing anything in life there are so many alternative ways of looking at something with all of them being influenced by what you see in the world around you. A teacher may see things that contrast from a politician; a doctor as opposed to a writer.

Reader Response Criticism: William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” “A Rose for Emily” was written in first person point of view. The narrator is never given a name‚ but it is apparent to the reader that the narrator is one of the townspeople.

This story tells the tale of Miss Emily Grierson in psychological order‚ beginning with her funeral (as a flashback) and
