| �A Rose for Emily�
~ William Faulkner � One unidentified townsperson, who refers to himself as �we� How would one structure that sentence? o Must establish continuity � Example: The narrator takes on the voice of the town, therefore using the plural �we�. � Miss Emily represents the old traditions and as a result is rejected by �modern ideas� (The �modern ideas� is only definable in the story so therefore it goes into quotations) � Miss Emily resembled one of �those angels in coloured church windows�, with the out-of-place relationship with her Yankee boyfriend. � Resembling one of �those angels in the coloured church windows� Miss Emily leads a life that serves as a �bad example to the young people.� � Emily was treated as an �idol�, but idols collect dust � Emily�s aunt was �crazy� (�Crazy� is non-definable) If something is in your own words/slang, then put in the single quotes like this => �example�. � Emily cannot bear to let go of her fianc�e who had passed away nearly forty years ago; �[s]ee Colonel Satoris,� she says � Emily preserves all the dead in her memory; �[s]ee Colonel Satoris,� she says to the city authorities. What you shouldn�t do: � NEVER state �The irony in the story��; put �The author ironically states�� � NEVER state �In the metaphor in the story��; put �The author metaphorically states�� � Don�t make lists out of your essays o �First,�Second,�Third,�Finally�� � use of motif: o house � dying strength (death of way of life) As a motif,�� � introductory phrase |
