ssrj #1

hell welcome to my engwr 301 blog. SSRJ #1 Faulkner I chose to do the ssrj on “A Rose For Emily” by Faulkner because it was the most interesting. The way Emily was treated by her father probably led to the way she ended up. This may seem crazy but I am a father of two girls and this makes me think I need to be very careful on how I treat them especially when it comes to the boys. Most of all the story made me feel sadness for Emily because she was all alone and never really experienced much companionship. The author uses setting in the story to build a haunted house like atmosphere and keeps building up to the strange ending. The author describes Emily as “her skeleton was small and spare” and she dressed in black with a gold chain. They also used the foul smell of rotting flesh and the towns people have to put down lime. All these details I believe were used to build up to the shocking ending. The question I have for anyone is what is reason for the Negro man showing the people in and just leaving never to be seen again?
