Answer questions from the sheet on a separate

QUESTIONS FOR “A Rose for Emily”
While reading, keep track of information
to help you answer these questions/prompts:
- Mood-
feeling or atmosphere created by the author
- How
does the diction (word choice), imagery and figurative language create a
mood? What is the overall mood? (a piece of textual evidence in this
answer would be best)
- Order in
which events revealed vs. order
in which events occur: Only make the list of how it is in the story, we
will organize the chronological list on Friday.
- Ex.
1. Emily dies, everyone
wants to see the house.
2. Taxes Issue (col.
Sartorious, younger generations trying to collect.
3. The next event/idea
talked about in the story
- After
completing the sequencing, why do you think Faulkner chose to manipulate
the sequence this way? What would the story lose if it was told
traditionally?
- How does
this story show the southern regionalism and southern/American Gothic?
(textual evidence)
