Interesting, Etsuko finds a mate whom her parents totally opposes; however, she

    She did a very good Job backing up her Thesis. She made the book very understanding for her readers. Because I was able to understand the book and being able to really think about the concept of the story I found the book to be interesting which gave me that emotional connection to the story. I think that one contribution that helped me understand the period that was being discussed is that Anna the mother was very big on education for all her children. Doing additional research I found that during that period of time it was still a time where it was important for boys to get a good an education while the girl got the bare minimum and they were really meant to strictly take care of the children as well as home duties the husband may give you.…

    There are few authors that can write a short story that is both intriguing and incorporates a full story. The story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner wrote in 1931, has both of these things with a dark twist. Although most of Faulkner’s stories are unique such as “As I lay Dying” (1930) and “Sanctuary” (1931), the one that stands out the most to me is “A Rose for Emily”. Within this story, the two themes that are really emphasized would be death and change and it is easily seen how each theme progressed with the story. What makes “A Rose for Emily” unique is the foreshadowing in the story, the question of Emily’s sanity, and the narration is done from the towns peoples point of view.…
