I really enjoyed reading this story. It was nothing like I was expecting and I was
very confused as to where it was going when I first got into it. However, I found that the mystery of figuring
out what happened and the detective aspect that Faulkner used in his writing
kept me very engaged and wanting to keep reading. I also enjoyed the sarcasm and humor that
Faulkner through in. This story was nice
change from the more depressing poems we’ve been reading.
In a way, this story reminds me a lot of Their Eyes Were Watching God. Simply just in the way both Faulkner and
Hurston initially started their stories leaving readers in confusion and mystery
and then taking us through flash backs in order to bring us back to where it
started. I really like this format of
writing even though for me it can be frustrating at first as a reader. The way both of these pieces were written
kept me interested in the story and often left me puzzled as to how they were
going to end. I have to say, the end of A Rose for Emily took me off guard and I had to read the last
section a few times through to catch what happened.
