Who Is Emily: Helpful Or Harmful?

232 Words1 Page

Emily, a neophyte teacher, asseverated that she would be able to successfully emulate her prestigious high school English teacher’s prepossessing personality; however, being calm and outgoing was unwonted for Emily, who was normally testy and taciturn. Pejorative and derogatory diatribes, about Emily’s goals were ubiquitous, and as a result, she became discouraged and summarily temporized her student teaching job. Thankfully, Emily’s reputation of intractability and intransigence were indubitable; after she gleaned enough confidence to derelict the carping maledictions and pusillanimous animadversions of the conniving people, she concocted a devious stratagem that allowed her to exhume the complicity of these nefarious, depraved individuals

  • Strawberry Spring Analysis

    Murder becomes a touchy subject to the college students; the author mixes together a suspenseful atmosphere throughout the community college the protagonist attends as the short story progresses. It almost feels like one is on the edge of their seat when reading it. William Faulkner’s short story, “A Rose for Emily,” displays suspense and tones of slight insanity, but it cannot compare to the undertones that lay beneath Stephen King’s work. The narrator’s foreshadowing of uncovering the truth through his own detailed point of view creates a well written short story dubbed “Strawberry Spring.” Skimming through the literary work, foreshadowing is an obvious detail that appears in the work several times.

Through this narration, there is a long and drawn out suspense built up through little hints left by the reader without fully giving away the dark truth behind Emily and her house. Until the end of the story, the narrators ambiguity cleverly points the reader towards the climax of the story where Emily is discovered to be Homer Barron’s killer. This ambiguous element is important to the quality of this short story as it drives it forward and keeps the reader interested.
