Your homework tonight is to read "
A Rose for Emily," a short story by William Faulkner about an old Southern woman who leads a mysterious life in a the small town of Jefferson, Mississippi. This is a great little story to discuss while we are polishing up our recollection of literary elements. Upon reading the ending, develop a theory about Emily and Homer's relationship and why it ended the way it did. Come to class ready to talk about it.
**Note: Yes. There are resources online that can tell you what experts think about this story, plot elements, the relationship between these two characters. I'd rather you think your own thoughts, rather than simply let others think for you. There's no substitute for original, free thinking.**
