Blog for a rose for Emily
A theme that stood out to me in a Rose for Emily was gossiping. Gossiping stood out to me the most as a theme because throughout the hole entire story all people did was talked about Emily in her life. There story was basically told from the towns point of view. The evidence that I have to support this is in the being of the story the hole town went to Emily’s funeral at her house not to give there Congolese’s but to be nosy and see how she lived because nobody had been inside of her house for teen years. From that point on the story begun the town told what they thought they knew about Ms Emily only what they hard.
There were many symbols in a Rose for Emily but one that really caught my eye was the color yellow witch symbolizes happiness. Yellow stood out to me because the whole time in the story the town made it seem like Ms. Emily was never happy that she was a bitter old woman who lived alone but yet she was well respect by them. I think the author added the color yellow as a theme in the story to switch it up to show that it wasn’t allow that it seems with her. Also to show how much the people thought they knew about her.
Great job Shanacee! I like how you talked about the fact that the story was told by the town...this shows clearly the theme of gossip. They new nothing to be factual.
