""See Colonel Sartoris." (Colonel Sartoris had been dead almost ten years.) "I have no taxes in Jefferson. Tobe!" The Negro appeared. "Show these gentlemen out.""
Emily - Emily is driven by the thought of not being able to be with Homer Barron, this then later lead to her killing him and keeping his dead corpse in her bed for her to lay with. "Then we noticed that in the second pillow was the indentation of a head. One of us lifted something from it, and leaning forward, that faint and invisible dust dry and acrid in the nostrils, we saw a long strand of iron-gray hair."]]> 2021-09-21 05:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756208259 ma43621 https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756210342 This Story takes place sometime in the late 1800's and early 1900's. We know this due to this statement made in Paragraph 3,"Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town, dating from that day in 1894 when Colonel Sartoris" and how they refer to black people as negro's still. We also know it takes place in a small town and in miss Emily Grierson's house which is old and untouched compared to the rest of the town, "only Miss Emily's house was left, lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps-an eyesore among eyesores" ]]> 2021-09-21 06:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756210342 ma43621 https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756211411 The setting gives an old creepy feeling while reading. We know this because of the detail it goes into while describing things with a more negative tone especially towards the end whenever the story becomes more graphic, they use descriptions like "faceless grin"]]> 2021-09-21 06:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756211411 ma43621 https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756212514 The way the events occur introduces Emily while she is very old and processes to show her death, this sets up a very good foundation of the story since it catches the readers attention with the town also talking down upon Emily and her strange behavior. Once the funeral comes around we then flash back to better understand Emily and what her motives can be and given a lil bit of foreshadow. We then flash back to the present with people searching her house then we discover she killed someone whom most had forgotten about or just assumed he was missing.]]> 2021-09-21 06:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756212514 ma43621 https://padlet.com/ma43621/qft7262amiuq26hp/wish/1756212911 The Narrator is someone from the town but not directly connected to the main characters.
