    It was effective to use humor in all of the stories but only appropriate in Crane's "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". In Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" an old widow (Emily) dies and the town’s people learn horrible revelations of what Emily did. Faulkner uses humor to describe the unusual way she killed her boyfriend but kept his corpse so she could be with him. The dark form of humor in this story was not appropriate because loving a corpse who you killed is disgusting. Despite being inappropriate, the humor was effective because it matched well with the dark tone of the story.…

    On September 9th, 2016 I was a passenger in rear-end car accident. At the young age of seventeen, I was ignorant, rebellious and negligent.

As in the short story “Rain of Fire” by Evan Thomas, I would have never expected that a regular day could end up in such catastrophe. I learned not to trust those whom I have not gotten to know well enough.…
