The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

Prompt Response:

Something that changed the way I thought about a person was when I discovered that my aunt's ex-husband had actually disliked our entire family when they were married. When I was young, I had always liked my former uncle but he had never really spent much time around the family. When I grew older I discovered that my former uncle had always disliked the family and it really surprised me and made me think less of him.

Summary:

Today we took a pop quiz on A Rose for Emily and then watched a short film adaptation.

Reflection:

I learned about the symbolism in A Rose for Emily.

Prompt Response: A time I realized I had to look out for myself in a silly or harmless situation was last semester when I was under a lot of stress and I almost forgot to turn something in that I had already done days ago and I turned it in at the last minute at night and I was really grateful because I know that if I had gotten a late grade I would have been mad because I actually did the work. Summary: Today we finished up reading our story and finished the writable questions. Reflection: I learned about the symbolism in the story "the life you save may be your own".
