A Rose for Emily

A Rose for Emily was an interesting story about a woman who lived her life in solitude. From what I remember, when she lost her father it seemed like she lost everything. He must of ment alot to her, as do most fathers. Though it was enough to make her hid away from the world. It seemed to me that the towns people were interested in her not only for her money she owed in back taxes but also just because she was almost bat-like. She would hide in her cave and hardly ever come out. Unlike a bat though she wouldn't come out at night. She had a man whom I'm surprised they refered to him throughout the story as the Negro, and he did most all of her chores for her. The only time the front door opened was when he took off to the story with a grocery basket. Miss Emily wasn't always hiding away though. She had a few outside occurences such as when she met Homer Barron, the Northerner. They suposidly wed and she then had a companion. It was funny because the next time we here of her comming out of the house was when she went to the drug story to buy some very strong rat poison. I could pretty much see what was going to happen after she bought that. Mr. Barron was pretty much good as dead. The end was kind of interesting. The towns people came over once again and the servent let them in then ran out the back door. Emily had finally passed. After the burial the towns people searched the house to find from what took it as Mr. Barrons body in a bed in the very highest room of the house. The creapy thing about the story was that there was an indent of someone else's head on a pillow next to the body and they found a hair that was the same color described as Miss Emily's hair earlier in the story. Fascinating ending.
