    Settings create the whole atmosphere of the story and foreshadow events and character development. But, in A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson the settings of the story serve an even more special literary meaning. In A Rose for Emily William Faulkner does it by creating a house that encompasses the main characters feelings. And in The Lottery Shirley Jackson does it by creating a Town Square with an eerie feeling of impending doom. Because of the effective use of their respectable settings, these two literary works are elevated to a whole another level of literary magnificence where the reader is required to dig deeper and read the story more than once all while being entertained constantly with each reading.…

    We have all known an ‘Emily Grierson’ at one point or another in our lives.

Someone who would rather sit alone, than make conversation with anyone they think will hurt their image. The ‘Emily Grierson’s’ in our world think that their human worth is defined by their status. We have words to describe people who think and act this way; arrogant, snob, conceited, but we rarely take the time to think about the reason for their behavior.…
