They went through all specifications from the extensive backup equipment installed in their unmarked surveillance van to implanting a mini video surveillance camera and recording conversation devices into Edith’s earrings. The team relied on Edith who’s the core of the undercover to dig out information and show proof of evidence to bring these drug traffickers down.

Some on the dance floor dancing the night away, others were hanging out at the cocktail lounge with a drink in their hand to relax after a long work week and those with hopes of a chance of meeting their possible mate or maybe just company for the night. Edith meanders through the dance floor toward the cocktail lounge with that same hope of finding that mate she’s in search for. Able to find an available stool along a raised countertop, Edith settled on as she observes the happy crowd that surrounded her and waits patiently for an available bartender to attend her. “What can I get you?” The bartender asks mannerly. “Vodka lemonade please.” Edith watches the bartender fill her mixed beverages in a glass and places it before her. “Thank you.” Edith said considerately as she pays for her beverage and leaves a tip. “The pleasure is all mines.” The bartender leaves to attend to others on the lounge. Edith couldn’t help to notice how quickly and efficiently the bartender was preparing their drinks …show more content…

The man she was sent to bring down was gazing at her as he lifts up his drink and flashes an alluring smile revealing the most beautiful dimples. “Single rose, two dollars.” A sweet voice called out from behind her. Edith pivots and notices a beautiful woman with a basket of roses passing by. “I’ll take one.” Edith said as she reaches into her hand purse and gives the rose woman a five dollar bill. The rose woman hands Edith a rose with her change. “Can you deliver this rose to the handsome Hispanic man in the navy blue long sleeve shirt on the opposite side of the countertop corner?” “I sure can.” “Thank you.” Edith’s eyes follow the rose woman strolling toward him, hands him the rose with exchanging words and vanishes into the crowd.

Edith turns to the side gazing directly at Cruz Dominguez with a genuine smile. “Thank you. Not often do men get a

    As he walks in, Josephine screams and falls down dead; the happiness that she had felt was too much for her weak heart. Likewise, “A Rose for Emily,” written by William Faulkner, opens on a woman, Emily Grierson, except this time the woman is already dead. The story is told from the perspective of the townspeople, a collective “we.” They recount when she was exempted from her taxes, and then when she refused to pay them after the death of the person who remitted her. Then, the townspeople go back further to a time when Emily’s house had a stench so foul, a judge was consulted about what to do; it was decided that a few townspeople would stealthily sprinkle lime about her property in order to not confront her and seem discourteous.

    As in most of his works one of the overbearing ideals of A Rose For Emily is a sense of class and of elegance that was as evident as the sky in the South.

Throughout A Rose For Emily the idea of monuments and age are extremely prevalent as both Miss Emily and her homestead are commonly referred to as, “relic.”

  • Examples Of Suspense In A Rose For Emily

    710 Words  | 3 Pages

    “A Rose for Emily” is a unique short story that keeps the reader guessing even though its first sentence already reveals the majority of the content. William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” is the epitome of a work that follows an unconventional plot structure and a non-linear timeline, but this method of organization is intentional, as it creates suspense throughout the story. William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” follows an unusual plot structure, which creates an eccentric application of suspense to a short story. Throughout the story, there are no clear indications of standard plot structure in each section, such as intro, climax, and denouement. Instead, there are sections, which are not in chronological order, that describe a particular conflict or event, which in turn creates suspense, as each conflict builds upon each other to make the reader question the overall context and organization of the story.
