William Faulkner uses imagery-infused symbolism throughout the story in order for us readers to be able to picture the main character and the changes to her appearance throughout the story due to her refusal to accept change and confront her problems. Emily is described through the pitiful gaze of the townspeople in the story, they paint the picture of a once young and lively changing into a secretive and lonely woman after the passing of her beloved father.

The metaphors and similes is presented in my short story, A&P, are significant because they allow the author to further describe the girls and their actions without excessive imagery being present. Because of the use of similes, the author was able to bring out an unlikely likeness between two things, usually the girls and another object, that really makes the girls stick in your mind so that you can picture them. These elements also help to back up the imagery by comparing it to something else.

The story I chose was "A Rose for Emily" and throughout I found what most stood out was many versions of foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a literary element that is used when giving a hint or suspense into what is going to follow throughout the rest of the story. In A Rose for Emily suspense and emotion is reveled in order to allow the readers just a peek into what is about to come. Even from the beginning the readers are almost overwhelmed with how sad and gloomy the text is because of the main characters poor relationship with her (now dead) father.

Naydelin- Imagery
Imagery is represented in the story A&P when Sammy describes the girls when he sees them. The first girl he describes is “chunky” “pretty pale.” The next girl was “tall with black hair that hasn't quite frizzed right” The last girl he described Queen who has “oaky hair” “prim face.” The details the author gave shows the readers a picture of what the girls looked like.

In the story A&P the author uses imagery throughout and it is important for the readers because it characterizes the girls that come into the store. It is also important for the theme because it shows how women are often looked at back then and even now. Back in the day people saw what those girls were wearing as many things such as; provocative and even disrespectful. The author represents this by describing the girls chest to a " dented sheet of metal" that was "tilted in the light." This description could easily suggest that the character Sammy found the girls appearance and body "sexy".

Symbolism is used in A Rose for Emily by the way they would reference a rose. While in the story the author never actually mentions a rose or says anything about a rose, the authors uses the meaning of a rose to explains certain things. Emily was a young woman that was just trying to find love and thought she had it. As many people fall in love or just think of love the number one thing is a rose. In the story the rose was symboling how Emily is trying to manifest this guy to stay in love with her.

in a rose for Emily i noticed the main character "Emily" was viewed different from when she was alive as well as when she died. When she was alive she was judged by the townspeople from all negative comments to honoring her at her funeral as shown at the beginning of the story.From what i have read i would infer that Emily was very isolated and antisocial, when being spoke too she would get very agitated.

Symbolism is in A&P when the girls came in and dressed. Symbolism can also be based on Sammy’s and Lengel's reaction to the girl’s image. The theme relating to the element shows the girls what they wanted. They got their own publicity and got people’s attention with something that the opposite sex would respond to. “ His face was dark gray and his back stiff, as if he’d just had an injection of iron, and my stomach kind of fell as I felt how hard the world was going to be to me hereafter”. The aftermath of how Lengel handled the situation more than Sammy, symbolizes that Lengel has had more experience of seeing people like the girls in A&P.

Symbolism is commonly used in William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily", for example; Emily's home is symbolic of herself. When the story begins the house is clean and pure with white walls. "It was a big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily lightsome style of the seventies, set on what had once been our most select street." Emily was also pure in her younger years. Her father protected her purity by turning away any men he didn't believe were worthy, which was all of them. As the story goes on, the house becomes dirty and smelly. The narrator describes it as "an eyesore among eyesores." At the same time, Emily becomes old and more deranged. She becomes insane, not only killing her fiance but also sleeping with his corpse.

Throughout the short-story "A Rose for Emily" there is some sort of foreshadowing presented within this story. We began with the introduction of the story, her death. We, the reader do not know what could've possibly happen to cause this sort of death. The story then presents Emilys life when she was alive, through what the towns people have witnessed and heard. Although, we do not know what had truly happened within her life, but the text within the story suggest that their was some of suspense happening sooner or later. The desperation of the "arsenic" brought some sort of obvious stat that she indeed was to kill somebody "Is.. arsenic? Yes ma'am. But what you want-" "I want arsenic" She declined the favor of telling the man what she needed it for. This brought tension as well as suspension, which causes readers to be curious as to what could have possibly happen.

in a rose for Emily  there are multiple examples of symbolism that happen throughout the story that stood out to me. Emily's house much like Emily, is a monument, its like her because her house is very pretty it also represents her being alienated from other people because her house was the only old fashioned house around and it wasn't super close to anyone else.

In the story "A Rose for Emily'' there is a clear presence of foreshadowing portrayed throughout the passage. From the beginning paragraph, where it is placed at her funeral, you get this sense of uneasiness, dread. As the story continues, you begin to comprehend the life that Miss Emily has lived up to that point. Still with the haunting knowledge of knowing what's to come. Suspension is built when talk of "arsion" and "haunting death" are talked about and makes you wonder what's to come.

Emily's house could be considered a shrine to the living past, being the only thing that hasn't changed in her town. When the group of men sprinkled lime along the foundation to counteract the stench of rotting flesh, the townspeople get even more curious about Emily’s life and what lies on her property. The house, like its owner, is an object of fascination for them. They project their own interpretations and "fantasies" onto the seemingly sane woman inside. Emily’s death is a chance for them to gain access to the inside of everything and confirm their suppositions about what had occurred.

I think that irony is used in "A Rose for Emily" because at the beginning of the story when the people are at her funeral they are honoring her with respect and care; but throughout the story while she was living, townspeople were looking at Emily as if she is mysterious and insane. The irony of life reflected on by the story is that in life you don't actually get respect until you're dead.

I believe this short story shows really character and how this character changes the story, because you start out with this little girl in Boys & Girls learning how she should 'be acting like a girl' instead of helping her dad, and you see several times throughout the story how subtly these things affect her opinion and how she thinks of certain things. You can especially see this at the very end when she say "maybe I am just a girl"

Irony is presented in the short story A&P because the narrator, Sammy, quits his job as heroic gesture for the girl he finds attractive just for her not to notice. His manager embarrassed a group of girls including the one he finds pretty, Queenie, in front of others in the store. So Sammy defended the girls because he had sympathy, and to win Queenie's attention. He got the job at the grocery store, A&P, through his parents, so for him to quit leaves him jobless and questioning his future.

I think Symbolism can be shown in this story because the main character hears that the 3 girls are buying Herring snacks and he has a vision of what type of party they might be having. He immediately thinks the snacks that they are buying could also translate to wealth. In the story it says “All of a sudden I slid right down her voice into her living room. Her father and the other men were standing around in ice-cream coats and bow ties and the women were in sandals picking up herring snacks on toothpicks off a big plate and they were all holding drinks the color of water with olives and sprigs of mint in them. When my parents have somebody over they get lemonade and if it's a real racy affair Schlitz in tall glasses with "They'll Do It Every Time" cartoons stenciled on.” This shows that Sammy believes that certain things can help you maybe see into their life more. This scene also shows a little bit about the character Sammy, that he is not wealthy. It is important to the story because later on when he quits the audience also thinks about how Sammy will get money.
