In the religious meeting the night before Fort Wagner, they sang around the campfire and thanked the Lord for the opportunity that they were given. They finally knew that it was their time to die for their country and not die in vain. They asked for protection and are blithesome that they are able to show that they are as good…

William Faulkner constructs “A Rose for Emily” in a manner that follows the traditional ideals and behavior of the small-town American South and formally imitates the back and forth way one tells a story.
